I lost my Annie at 19 this last June. :( Annie was short for Antoinette, as picked by a four year old lol did not fit our usual making patterns for that reason, bought thought of as Marie Antoinette ;)

About 2 years ago I got Morrigan to keep Annie company. She is The Toothless Morrigan (she doesn't have teeth and the Morrigan is an Irish goddess of darkness and night and is associated with ravens)

Morrigan has been trying to find a furever friend, and it's been hard because it's like cat dating lol and Morrigan is a little weird ;)

Try number three (😭) is this little guy and I'm not feeling the perfect name yet.

He's a tuxedo young cat (~4-5 months old), he's a little vocal, a bit timid at first but then super cuddly, and a very loud purrer.

I have considered naming him:

  • Lúgh (Lou)
  • Balor (bay-lore)
  • Cúchulainn (coo-cullen) (or a twist of it cu(a version of my family name) like CuKennedy if Kennedy were my last name, which it isn't but it demonstrates the name. Cu means hound or monster and so Cúchulainn is the Chulainn's hound.)
  • Lir (leer)
  • Cearmaid (Kermit) Which are also names from Irish mythology.

I had lightly picked Balor before he came to my house, but I'm not sure it's his name. Then I liked cúchulainn because cucu would be an adorable nickname

But I'm also not sure it fits him either.... Maybe Cearmaid - he does like to hop like a frog lol

I would love other suggestions. They don't have to be Irish, but that's certainly a plus. If they aren't Irish, they should be royal in some culture I think.

I have connections to Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Swedish and Spanish cultures and so those would be favored above others.

Thanks for suggestions!

Given his affinity for hanging out in the back of my guitar amplifier (now unplugged) he has been christened Toki, or Toki Wartooth II, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing

🤍 JUST ADOPTED 🤍 Help me name my foster-to-adopt girl?

Hello everyone! I’m currently foster-to-adopting this cutie pie and I need some name suggestions! We’re mostly a household of pups but I finally got my kitty girl her own sibling. So far the kiddos in the house are: Guinness, Walker, Sabine, Snips and Nadja. We clearly love Star Wars in this family 😅

I love naming out babies after things we enjoy- so it doesn’t have to be just Star Wars (ex. Nadja is from one of my fave shows: WWDITS)

Currently we’re calling her Mochi- which is definitely cute, and she’s soft and sweet like a little mochi ball- but I feel like there’s a billion Mochis lol. (My partner started her off as “Milky” which I hated 😭) I don’t mind to keep her as Mochi but just wanted to see if you guys had some suggestions!

Some things we enjoy are: video games (my big faves are Bioshock, Fallout, Pokemon, LOZ, AC, TWD, etc) anime, pop-culture, food lol

Other than Mochi some names I were thinking of are: Clem / Clementine, Venti / Ventress, Sock, Soup, Petal, Bo / Boo, Chi / Chihiro- but idk yet!

Help a fella out please! & Enjoy these stunning pics, courtesy of the shelter! Hoping I can get some nice ones of my own soon, but she’s currently recovering from surgery and is stuck in her little cone.

(And with that, my little family is complete 💞 I’m so happy to have her here!)

Hi everybody, we inherited this tiny 5 pound cat after a death in the family and we are fairly certain at this point we’re going to keep her, as long as our dogs can relax a little more as they get used to her.

As we’ve been acclimating her we’ve just been calling her cat because we didn’t want to get too attached in case our dogs couldn’t cope but it looks like it’s gonna be possible for her to stay, so we need some names!

We’ve thrown around Orca (bc of her markings), Persephone (bc she came to us due to a death in the family), my 3 yo niece threw out the name Garage Garage, which to be honest is hard to beat….what would you name her? She’s very small and twitchy, super curious, and talkative.

He was rescued from a kill shelter after all his siblings had been adopted but him. According to the rescue org he was terrified of new people and would hiss at everyone that would come near him… but when I locked eyes with him through that little window, I could understand his apprehension and fear. There was something familiar to me. I requested to see him…

I told him it was ok to be unsure and that he would be safe with me… he allowed me to scratch his chin and even graced me with his purrs 🥹 The rescue worker said she had never seen him respond that way before and that he must have chosen me, which I believe… because I chose him too!

A few years ago my beloved tuxedo cat passed away completely unexpectedly and it devastated me. I have several cats but didn’t get another tuxedo because the connection I had before was so special… I can feel that again with Mojo.

Saw him as I was going to work at 7am under a lamppost on the service road (thought he was maybe no longer with us) saw him at the same lamppost on my way home at 5pm (100% still with us) and I yoinked him SO FAST. took him to the vet, he’s healthy as far as they can tell, 1.4 pounds, and maybe 7 weeks old. Jokingly thinking of naming him service road or lamppost.

So super Florida Women story incoming - stopped because of a baby gator - and found this sweet girl all alone and shivering in some woods. She instantly started purring and fell asleep on me when I picked her up. She loves car rides and the beach. We will be harness and water training her - maybe she’ll even end up paddleboarding with me. The CDS got me gooood!

Meet Scotch! Just adopted yesterday. She has quite the personality and even tho she has spent her entire 7 months in a shelter environment she is warming up to us and snuggling already. (Quite the testament of the love and care she received at the rescue)

My whole heart y’all. My other rescue kitty is a little pissed off but we will do the intros slowly and patiently.

I can’t wait to get to know her and all her sweet quirks.
