Thread: complete beginner

She is so adorable. I just want to kiss & nuzzle her little nose. Nothing wrong with Storm or Stormie. Our last kitty was a solid gray that looked like a big storm cloud. Perhaps as you visit more you'll find the name that fits perfectly.

With each of my furbabies we had a brainstorming session until we came up with the name that seemed to 'fit'.

Having said that, each of them now has their posh name that no one uses and also the name we chose in the brainstorming which we think of as their 'real' name and is the one we gave the vet and the insurance.

They also have a few other names that just develop. This causes very few problems with Poppy who is deaf and thinks her name is 'a happy handwave'. The others respond to the tone of voice and don't seem to mind being called 'Mum's Pretty One' or 'Handsome Clean Boy' etc. Names are great fun - the right one comes along and you know when it's right!

She's gorgeous!
As everybody says, the right name will suddenly be obvious ... whatever you decide, enjoy your lovely little girl

She just told me her name is Sophie

That must be the name she wants you to call her by - all cats have a 'real' name that they rarely reveal to us apparently...... We call ours several names - many of them unrepeatable (and I suspect the same as a lot of you call yours too - especially those naughty tortie owners - don't get me started!!)

Purrrrfect

I think that suits her. She looks like a little Sophie.

Yay congratulations on your new kitten. We have 3 coonies, 5 cats in total. I totally agree on what the others say about floor level beds, except ours will sleep on the dogs bed :O) sometimes with the dog, sometimes not!

We have a 3 bed tigger tower, expensive but just the best thing I have ever bought, made for coonies and big cats its a scratching post as well and mine live in it! It is never totally empty. Be aware though that they also sleep in the middle of the floor and on the stairs, just because they can

We have the largest covered litter trays, actually one looks like a dolls house, the other they can just get in.

The best toy we have is a laser pointer, the type used in presentations, very cheap to buy and they chase the light as long as you let them!

Have fun loving your new baby. No idea on name.
