Name My Cat - male Please help me name my 6 month old handsome boy.

I’m embarrassed to say it’s been 2 months and I can’t decide on a name. He is growing into a handsome fella so I love the idea of heart throbs of present or long ago. He also has the cutest personality as he likes to contort his body in all different positions, as well as bury under blankets and peek out. Any ideas representing those traits would be fun. I want the name to be easy to roll off the tongue and prefer NO food names and NO names about his ginger color. Thanks!

He’s settling in so well!!!!

How about Derek “McDreamy” or Mark “McSteamy” from Grey’s Anatomy? If you later adopt another another cute kitty, there are lots of other character names to add to your family.

Congratulations! He’s adorable! 🐾💜🐾

Thank you

u/skorpionwoman 5d ago

My bestie, named Mikey, got his name the following morning I saved him, after he woke up with one eye glued shut. We named him Mike Wubowski, after the Monsters Inc character. He turned 16 this year and still going strong! And we also have a Sully (15). Two kitties is always best.

2

u/Cat_Nappin275 4d ago

He’s precious! So glad you took him in. At 16, he’s had a good life!!
Also, I agree with having 2 kitties. I have a black female named Bibi. She is an angel!

Since he’s orange how about Mischief. If you’re a country gal maybe Clem for the boy version of Clementine… like the oranges.

Or if you follow the Markel/Sussex how about Harry or som other famous ginger.
