Kiara and Vitaani are from the lion king, Kiara means princess

Vitaani is a lioness who had a bit of a rough start but turned out good in the end, and Vitaani had a rough start too, so it suited her down to the ground, whilst keeping in with the 'theme'.

By the time Nipper and Tucker came along, the remaining lion king names are all pretty overused, so I put up a thread right here on Catsey to pick out their names.

I origionally thought I was having 2 girls, so it was going to be Tia and Maria, but one of them was wrongly sexed so I came home with Nip and Tuck, and I lengthened their names to Nipper and Tucker because it feels easier to call out 2 sylablles, and they just really suited them.

Tabs is called Tabitha, I chose this when I was about 8, because she is a Tabby cat,

Some interesting ways of naming your cats there

My daughters couldn't decide between Lara or Layla, and so after a few days, and watching her antics, I decided that katey suited her best (named after a book that I once read as a child - what katey did). Her previous name had been Kitty and her mum was called Cat, so Katey wasn't that different sounding if you know what I mean. She responded to it a lot better than Layla and Lara too (although I did like both those names also). So thats it in a nutshell.. quite uneventful really...

Violet - an elderly couple at the Vets suggested her name, on the very first day I had gotten her - she was tiny tiny tiny and 4 weeks old.

Mau Mau - came from the Dogs/Cats home and already named.

Vincent - me

Mabel - me
