View Full Version : name for very lovable cat ??
Hi!
We are getting a new male cat (found as a stray) who is very affectionate and wants to cuddle all the time - a lap cat :)
Now I would like to name him with an appropriate name, that is a name with a meaining affectionate, loving, sweet....you get my drift...
I don't want to call him Cuddles, cause it would sound weird from where I come...
Any ideas? Else I might call him Tigi (he looks like your average tabby) was also thinking about Miki but Miki means energetic which he doesn't seem to be so this name wouldn't fit...Also I would really rather name him with some "lap-cat" name.
Thanks :)

Could we possibly see a picture? Just while I can see why you'd want a name which reflects his character, I can't imagine trying to name a cat without seeing them as well...
Sorry!

Pic would be a big help. Dolce (sweet) ?
THX for all the suggestions :) I can't put up a pic of him as of yet because I don't have any...I took him straight to the vet where today he will be tested for FIV and Felv and if everything is OK he will be mine - but I think he is OK, cause he was probably just dumped cause he is much to friendly for a stray...
But he really doesn't look anyting special (I mean he is pretty but not jaw droping, but I will take him because of his character which is far more important to me than what color he is) - just your average brown striped (tabby) cat - but he looks at you in such a way that it melts your heart ;)
I think I like Dolce the most so far. But also tigger tho this name does not really imply cuddliness :)
Calin is one kind of bird in our language so wouldn't be Ok for a cat - tho I really like the meaning. Where did you find this name - are there any more such databases or something?
Milo means soap so not Ok either because of our language
I added his photo
Hi!
Just an update - he doesn't have any diseases so is going to live with us...
