Whats the best name you've ever heard for a cat?

[Kazz]

Well whats the best name you've ever heard for a cat?

[smudgley]

Teabag. :)

[Fran]

That's a tough one Kazz!

Teabag is good Smudgley :D


I think Bagpuss or Pilchard :-D

[CathyW]

monty, he was my ginger, and answered to mont/or montyque (sp?) kitten LOL loved that name:D

[dinahsmum]

Great question!
Can't think of an answer at the mo.
My nephew had Stanley, which seemed to suit its owner.
Will think further whilst I did this morning and come back if I have anything of value to add (everyone says - 'bye then!)

[Moli]

Jeremy....!!

[Mags]

Harold!!!:-D

[PurpleJackdaw]

I remember the cat food advert that was on a few years back with the cat called "Onion" I thought that was quite a unusual but nice name

[Bengal Cat Rescue]

I know of a Onion cat.

I have a foster called Dave which is a great name!

[Rosie]

If I get the little grey kitten that I am hoping for it will be called "Little Blue" whether it is male or female (after the cartoon elephant).

Best dog's name was "Footwell" it was in the care of one of the greyhound rescues don't know why the name though.

[yola]

I love Snoof's 'Dishrag'!!! Makes me smile every time!!! :-D

[yola]

Now, my naughty friend, when at college had 2 tabby cats - a boy and a girl. One she called Eric and one she called Sian (Shaan). She names them on the premise that if you went outside and called their names . . . Eric . . . Sian . . . you'd get some interesting looks from the neighbours :oops:

[Moli]

I really like Bumble for a cat, but as I shorten all my animals names, decided against it!!

[Snoof]

I love Snoof's 'Dishrag'!!! Makes me smile every time!!! :-D
:-D Thankyou! If you could meet the cat in question, he'd make you smile even more - he was a gorgeous black lump with a white stripe on his belly, and his jaw was crooked (due to being thrown out the car when he was ickle :mad:) so his tongue wouldn't always go back in on its own and he'd run around for ages with his tongue sticking out.

I reckon I'll never stop missing my Dishie.

I love the name my friend's previous cat had - I never met him but he was big and black and long-haired, and his name was Marlowe... He apparently managed to get into a bird cage once, despite it being shut properly when he started trying :lol:

[Julie84]

Ooh, I don't know... I like lots of names when they 'fit' their owner.

One of my friends has a huge fluffy black and white cat called Carrots - I love his name so much! :smt049

[smudgley]

OOOh!! couldn't work that out at first, then the penny dropped. :roll: ...:oops: :oops:

[bobbie3917]

:lol: @ yola friend
a cat across the road is called askit
as in whats the cats name ask it she is a very pritty tabby

[dandysmom]

I've always wanted to name a cat Grimalkin, but it never fitted any of the cats I've had.

[Snoof]

When I got Dishrag, my friend wanted me to name him Pyrewokket or something :lol:

[dandysmom]

That's Pyewacket...cat in a movie or stage play, can't remember exactly!

[dandysmom]

It just came to me: Pyewacket was the cat in "Bell, Book & Candle", and he was a Siamese!!

[borderdawn]

I board a few funnies.

Gravy and Chips
Sardine and Pilchard
Psipsina

Not really the best names, but a bit weird
Dawn.

[dinahsmum]

I think Katie called Mini Pyewacket occasionally! poor thing!
Psipsina is from Captain Correlli's Mandolin - the 'funny looking cat' (some type of marten) had that name. It's the Greek equivalent of 'Puss'.

[yola]

DM - Psipsina . . . lovely name. And one of my favourite ever EVER books. Shame about the fillum :roll:

Dandysmom - Grimalkin needs to be a real old curmudgeon of a cat . . . something like a big old Persian with a big old frown on his face ;) don't you think???

[Booktigger]

My neighbour had a cat called Raztus (sp??) that was unusual. Only 'different' fosters I have had have been Dixie (named by my neighbour, apparently he looked like one) and Sonny Jim - I have known a cat called Pilchard too. And I know a rescue lady who has a cat called Minimopsical, she is a CH kitty and lovely.

[dinahsmum]

DM - Psipsina . . . lovely name. And one of my favourite ever EVER books. Shame about the fillum :roll:
Oh yes - the only redeeming factor was Kephalonia (but I think I remember reading that much was filmed on Corfu?)

[dandysmom]

OOOh!! couldn't work that out at first, then the penny dropped. :roll: ...:oops: :oops:

I've always pictured a Grimalkin as being a very large, dignified, slightly aloof black cat!! Funny how different images come to mind!

[dandysmom]

I am being really thick - I dont get it:oops: :oops: :cry:
Say it with the accent slightly on the second syllable of Eric.....and slightly slur Sian....

[deester]

A freind of mine had a cat called Mouse. We have a spyder and I may call one of the kittens we keep Monkey.

[LMC]

The cat formerly known as Amber... unfortunately, as this photo is on my work computer desktop, my boss asked "Why have you got a picture of a rug on your PC?" - which turned into a nickname, and it's kinda stuck :lol:

:roll: The penny just dropped here:roll: sorry was having a slow moment LOL x

[cathyd]

Best names I can think of or have known are

Two names of hubbies cats when he was little
Touchwood - after something to do with Catweazel?
Bast - not sure on spelling. An oriental type alley cat they had egyptian name I think

[Hreow]

Bast or Bastet is the cat-headed Egyptian godess of love, fecundity and cats, so a very good name for an alleycat. :-)

i used to have a cat called BRIAN my dad had named him i used to feel rather silly standing in the garden calling him:-D

[SillyTilly]

My vet was telling me today of a kitten he had in last week. Little boy called "Missy" ?!??!?!?!?

[logoes]

Our siamese came home one day bringing with him a very grubby, obviously lost 'white'Kitten. Took her in and as no one claimed her she was eventuallly rehomed but in the meantime she "washed whiter", so I named her PERSIL.

:smt001Half Pint:smt001

One of my dad's moggies was called Half Pint :D

When I had two very similar siblings, they were called Black and Purple - rather than trying to work out which one was which, I just gave them different colour collars.

Funny how many people expect a cat called Black to be ... well, black. He's actually a lovely mactabby!

[CathyW]

when i was a kid we had a cat and called it frisky, mum hated calling the cat in at night. i always wondered why :lol:

[Kay]

I had a lovely black cat called Tweekey after a robot in Buck Rogers and I loved the name we gave to one of last years kitten Emlyn the Gremlin.

[Canis-Equus]

Got a few favourites....

Kit Crewbucket - a cat who appeared on a friends canal boat one day and decided he'd be a boat cat. Named after the ghost of Kit Crewbucket who apparently haunts the Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey canal.

Ferrous Oxide.... a ginger tomcat :o)

Rubbish - used to sleep in a waste paper basket.

Mary and Polly.... both big bruiser type farm tomcats... named before anyone was able to sex them as kittens.
