The Search for a Kompanion for Kizzy!

OK - OH has been looking up red-related names and we were trawling through lists of names that popped up over supper and, looking at that little kitty with his little round tum-tum, I just thought Grubb! (bit of the opposite to Ruskin - I was thinking of the the college rather than a red reference.)

C.S. Lewis was a Cambridge man ...........

Indeed he was, but Colin Dexter's series about the grumpy Chief Inspector Morse were all based around Oxford. His sidekick was Lewis. Not sure what his forename was. This litter is in the Oxford area.

Whoops! Where did I get the idea your kit was a Cambridge kitten???

Off to look at illustrious Oxford graduates!

I can't believe I've missed all this!!!!

What a wee smasher - no matter what he's called. He just looks like a baby Leo lion to me.

I bet you can't wait. Would you be able to go visit while he's small or is that not a possibility?

I didn't even think about that CM - might be difficult with MIL. My friend will be bringing kitty with her next time she comes down to see her mum who lives not far away from me, so I'd not thought about going to see him. I shall ask for more photos though. I have printed the one I posted of him and it is on my board in the kitchen.

Lewis's first name is Robbie - which is also a nice name for a boy cat. However, it's nice to get away from every animal having the 'ee' sound at the end of their name, which is amazingly common.
If you wouldn't mind them both beginning with the 'k' sound, you could adopt the lovely name Kazz always puts forward, which is Kipling.
I must be a simple soul, or easily satisfied, because I still like the sound of Lewisss.

I'll post this but then go looking for the thread with all the 'red' names on it, where people kindly researched names for my (then) future red boy. I'll edit and add the link if I'm successful

There you go - that didn't take long at all

He looks beautiful. Some great names to choose from too.

Thanks so much for that link DM - there are some really lovely sounding names there. Like Rory and Rupert - I might have to make the decision when I actually have him in my arms. Merlin was like that.

Update. I spoke to kitten's owner this evening and will be going to pick him up some time between 12th August and 21st August - date to be confirmed. Nice young lady, doing her PhD. She didn't want anything for him and said that mother cat will be spayed. It was an "accident", but she has obviously enjoyed having the kittens enormously.

I'll let you know eda when I've sorted it with OH.

[Oz is still favoured name!]
