Thread: Meet Jolly!

We are now picking up the little man this Thursday night (1 day early) - we have also decided to let him keep the pedigree name of Paddington too (Jolly didn't seem to fit him when we saw him last) At least we think we are sicking with Paddington - its a bit of a mouthful.....time will tell.

Im dreaming of kittens and boring my colleagues to tears with updates on Paddington daily..... 3 days to go till we pick him up! YIPPIIEEEEEEEE

Countdown has well & truly started now,lucky you,Paddington sounds good,just a bit of a mouthful if he is getting himself into mischief but thats half the fun...

Well I think Jolly is a great name, but if it's not sticking, not to worry, Paddington is even better! Reminds you of a lovely, cuddly bear, so appropriate for a MC! It doesn't need to be a mouthful, if you shorten it to Paddy. In my experience, a cat's name morphs over time anyway, until it ends up nothing like it was when we started! Larry routinely gets called Laggs now, or Wonderlag, or Powerlag....you get my drift....!!!

Anyway, bet you can't wait till Thursday. Keep us posted, and pics soon please!

I love the name paddington! Makes me think of paddington bear and his wellies and duffel coat!

Lol me too!

Here is a pic of him asleep on his daddies arm when we went to go see him the other day. Makes your heart melt!

And a photo of him having a chew on his daddies hand (we will have to put a stop to that!)

Rubbish photo quality as taken on my iPhone. Didn't think it would be appropriate to take my giant SLR camera with me to go see him.

Two more days to go, Jolly.
I think Paddington/Paddy is a wonderful name. Did you know the Paddington Bear books have been translated into Dutch? I remember my Dad reading them to me when I was small in the early 60s... about the little bear with his suitcase who was found at Paddington station. That name does bring back memories.

Do share??? My partner has fallen in love with the name Paddington though.... But he doesn't like the shortened version (Paddy).

48 hours to go........

Couldn't agree more - Freyja almost never gets called that anymore. She's got stuck with - wait for it - Boo-bi-dee-boo Or Boo-bi, Boo-bs, occasionally Boo-btastic. Not really sure how it's spelt as when you type it looks like I've got a knocker obsession. And of course, Wicca gets called Wickety-Woo, Wicc Wicc, Wacky Wicca... at 2 in the morning when she's going to town chewing my hair, she also gets called Satan's Spawn, but that's less affectionate than Wickety-Woo!

This will go soon enough, although I daresay it will feel like it's dragging. Paddington/Paddy is a great name, and he looks so cute. It's undeniable - looking at other peoples kittens does make you get a bit broody!

Oh my goodness Karen, and I thought we were bad!!!

How did you get from Freyja to Boob? Not a single letter is the same....or maybe I shouldn't ask! Still, I'm probably a worse offender...Larry's latest nickname is Lagwich Sandwich. Anyone cringing yet?
