I had one called Hobbes (named after the tiger in Calvin & Hobbes.) He used to try and rescue me from the shower. I miss that crazy little man.

I knew a ginger kitten called Weasley.

Sticking with that theme Fred or George, used randomly.

Mowser, the Mousehole cat. He looks to have an 'M' on his forehead.

Jacob, after the crackers that are in an orange packet.

Mango.

Rufus!

Frank. He just looks like a Frank. He can be Frankie while he's small and floofy then graduate to his grown up name.

Neville, says my DH 😻

LimeBasilandManderin · 08/10/2025 18:50

Marmaduke

SilkAndSparklesForParties · 08/10/2025 20:33

He's a Rufus to me.

Anything but Simba - we get thousands of Simbas through our doors - not quite as many Simbas as Lunas, but still far too many.

Ron is good

HugoYorway · 08/10/2025 23:03

@goplacidly , just give him your surname.
Then he'll be Neville Neville [replace Neville with the name].
That's what I did with DCat.

cheapskatemum · 09/10/2025 22:32

He looks like an Edgar to me. I do like Ron as well though.

Erik the Red.

George
We had a visiting ginger cat that could drop silently from a 6ft fence.
No idea what his owners called him.

Octopus45 · 11/10/2025 20:55

Red

ThreePears · 12/10/2025 11:11

@goplacidly We are on tenterhooks - does he have a name yet?

goplacidly · 12/10/2025 11:16

Yes!! So sorry for keeping you in suspense.

we went with Gus! Loved it the second @BlackCatsAreBrilliantmentioned Angus. Then @Overtheatlanticsuggested Augustus and that’s now him. Thank you both and all for your suggestions!! What would I do without Mumsnet?? Been on here 16 yrs now and honestly so much of my life has been helped by this community. Very grateful!

So pleased to have helped.

He is absolutely gorgeous.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 12/10/2025 11:48

As he has an 'M' on his forehead...
I would suggest Malcolm.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/10/2025 17:44

Ahhh

Hello Gus/Angus/Augustus
He has a Name . a Nickname and Sunday Name Grin
