Moggy
Tiddles
Mr Bigglesworth
Tabby (If it's a Tabby cat)
TC
Corky
Garfield

Any of the above really... Or even just go on Google and look for Cat names :)

Me personally, I'd go with Garfield... Despite the fact that the forthcoming Garfield movie will probably suck (hair)balls :lol:

Naming a cat is a serious business. Indeed, according to Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats cats have a name of their own that we're not aware of, as well as the name that they allow themselves to be called by us mere humans.

A couple of ours arrived with names, but but two of ours were named after studying their behaviour for a few days.

Curious (or 'Mr C') was named for his habit of getting in to everything. Jarvis was named after Jarvis Cocker. Kizzy came to us with that name but it fits her because she is a very 'kissy' cat.

I remember calling a local stray FBPC, which stood for 'Fat B*****d Pussy Cat.

Well I have:

Pilchard (after Bob the builder's cat....she looks vaguely similar, but not blue. She was originally called Henry as we were told she was male!)

Ivy....we wanted them to sound like an old married couple!

Boddington...he's very ginger and when he was a kitten he had a huge 'beer' belly, (turned out he just had worms! lol!)

Xena (warrior kitten) she's very very strange (very cute and cuddly and beautiful. but she likes to leave....presents....and miaow for no reason.

I have Jazz and Delhi (inherited with this name), they also get called the daft tarts, because they are both daft and right tarts.
Del also gets called Dil, Dilbert, and Daftbert, but it doesn't matter because she is too stupid anyway.

My mum has cats called Stanley, Norman, Rhumela and the other is so silly i can't remeber it right now.

I like Eric.

my first cat was called Sasha. big stupid fluffy white thing with no brain.

our current one is called calico, multi coloured, loving and very mischievous.

Both lovely animals in very different ways. I'll argue with any cat hater who thinks that all cats are the same.

My Mom's cat now answers to "din-dins" as when she feeds it she shouts din-dins. It's original name was "howard" which is still rubbish........but "din-dins"!!!????!!!!
Whats all that about!!

Lickable

Our cat is called Hamish, not that he deserves such a class name cos he is so evil!!
A friend of mine has two cats called Snickers and Kit Kat which i think are rather cute names.
Don't think you can really name a cat till you have got an idea of their personality!

When I was a kid, I'm sure nextdoor's cat was called 'Cooking Fat!' At least I think that's what my dad called it when he caught it dumping in our flower beds!!

"I'll kill that Cooking Fat one of these days! "

Our cat is called "Cat", coz he doesnt answer to anything else (he usually ignores us if he isnt hungry anyway).

I always thought a good name for a cat would be Etcetera, or if it's black all over with one white paw, call it Gobbolina (the witch's cat) - it was in a story I used to be read when I was little!!! :)

Actually.....

A useful piece of advice is to imagine standing on the doorstep at 10pm calling the name of your cat.

dont no about cats... but im getting a duck and im calling it synyster!! (spellin mistake intended)

thats a good name for anything, or calling a dog johnny depp, or a bulldog called winston (instead of churchill... seewot i did there?)

when my dad lived in egypt there was a stray dog that all the expats named f**k off, and then when one took the dog in he tried to renam it, but it wouldnt answer to anything else. try explaining that to the wife. "i just found a dog, hes called f**k off, can we keep him???"

People don't own cats, cats own people. This is a slave and slavemaster situation, guess which you are. Your biggest worry should be the name your cat chooses for you. Whilst we had extensive and entertaining dialogue on many other topics, one of my cats was reluctant to tell me his name for either himself or me so I called him "the cat". I suspect he may have called me "the b*start who had my balls cut off" (in Cat there is a single word to represent that phrase) but whenever I raised the topics he remained inscrutable. His name didn't go down to well at the Vets, when they call out the name of the next "patient" there was a risk of some confusion if they call out "the cat" so they gave him my surname - which just goes to show how little Vets know about cat psychology.

I have 7 cats named
Chelsea - After the football team
Hope - She was the runt & wasnt sure if she'd live
Faith - Black & white
Angel - He looked cute
Biscuit - Ginger cat
Phoenix - He's eye reminded me of a bird
Dowdy - after boy-george ( george o-dowd )

I think you need to choose a name when you have the cat to see if it suits them!

Good luck

I read somewhere that it's best to give your cat a name that begins with the letter "s", because they can hear that sound distinctly over all others that humans make.

So:

Sophie
Susie
Suki
Sloppy
Spiffy
Sexy
Sniffy
Sharon
Sink
Shoe
Shed
Spartacus
Shiney
Sausage
Sally
Sam
Sherbert
Spanky (ace name!!)

cant think of any more right now. I'm going to go eat my pizza now before Cat gets it. :D

Now you're not being fair. My eyes are getting all damp and misty now. Tiddles was the name of my deceased hamster. She was such a lovely little thing. She died a couple of months ago and is still missed.

However, we now have Agent Pipsqueak who is a very agreeable replacement.
