Having a New Feline Member Of The Family


I have been putting feelers out for a kitten in recent weeks and my friend rang me to pass on a phone number for kittens ready in August. She had seen it in the post office in her village. Anyway second time I got through, today and had a word with the lady, she has five kittens, born on 10th June I think she said, she s in a village about ten minuites from mine so I popped round. There were two tabby s one boy one girl and three ginger and white boys, all gorgeous, all having a feed from Mum when I got there, she s only a year old and she soon got impatient. Anyway, the two boys were left, both ginger and white, only difference being one had a brown nose and one a white one. So I chose the white nosed one, he was just so pretty and seemed slightly dopier of the two if anything ! Fetch him August 1st. I took a photo or three and will try and upload them this week if i can remember how too off photo bucket ! But I now need a name, told the woman Sammy but now not sure, so any ideas please as I cannot think properly! My other s are Tess, Felix and Maisie and I want it to fit with theirs if that makes sense! Thanks all, Jan x

Oh congratulations on the coming new kitten. He sounds like a cutie, but then they all are, aren't they? I'm not very good at names, but sometimes they almost name themselves. Taz is good if he's going to be a wee devil full of action. Look forward to the pics

If he's anything like my ginger and white boy, he'll be a complete cuddle bug and have a very loving nature. Hope so anyway. I look forward to the pictures!

Naming a cat is always a challenge - the best name will come to you when you have got used to him for a bit!

My first ginger kitten was called Sammy which changed to a more adult Sam when he grew up .....

My ginger boy was called Scamper, which suited him as a kitten, but unfortunately not as the large dignified adult he became!

My Ginger boy was Shanti he was also a real softy.

My aunt had a ginger boy - Robbie - after Robinsons marmalade!

I'm sure a name will come to you and we love to chip in with ideas.

Can't wait for photos.
I met an orange cat yesterday called Jaffa, I quite liked that.
