Stray cat - "Squiffy"

farthing · 20-07-2010, 07:47 PM

We always talk about being squiffy if we are a bit tipsy and we are both Scottish.

I thought Felix meant lucky?

Glad he now has somebody to look after him, poor wee thing.

Not struck on Squiffy though as a name okay as a nickname for a passing cat.

If hubby is going to call him Felix I think you are stuck with it...its nice enuogh and suits his colouring. How about as hubby is a golfer calling his Louie.....the bloks who won the golf.

I've just put the idea about naming him after a golfer into OH's head. See if he comes up with anything ..... "Woosie" sounds and means more or less the same as "Squiffy"!

Sorry, Yola - no idea.

He's definitely a blokey bloke. I think he's a Charlie or a Georgie.

Golfers? Arnie (Palmer), Ernie (Els) ???

Not Tiger!

Balie

After Seve Balesteros

Woody (Tiger Woods)

Trev (Lee Trevino) - I like this one, especially when changed to Trevster

Monty (Colin Montgomerie)

....... I like Monty but just thought Mack - quite like that!

Oh I like Mack...................love the song.....

As a "Mac" owner, that name is pleasant to my ears!

And overlay memories of my former, late, boss, Mr.Mac, who was, to put it kindly, not a very nice person to work for!

One vote for Mack!

Woodie is nice - but for Woodie Guthrie rather than Tiger Woods. All of my cats have been called Woodie as a nickname at some point (Puddy-Woodie, etc.!)

Mack is nice - 1 vote here too.

Woodie reminds me of Woodie Allan
