I’m getting a Siamese male kitty in about 10 days. I’m thinking about his new name. They used a computerized generated name “Duncan”. It’s okay. I’ve always learned the personality of any kitten, then named it. I’m thinking about a name that I put together by sound. The name is MeShu’. Can someone give me feedback because it’s supposed to be a great name for an affectionate Siamese kitty (if I remembered it correctly). I know he will be fine just as soon as I get him home. He’s 4 months now and a little scared, caged in at the animal shelter. I’m in love with him and I feel like he will be awesome when released. He has to be fixed and shots first. Then he will be happy with me. I’m a cat fanatic anyway… Tina in Georgia.💜💙❤️😇✝️🙏😘🐾😻🎈☯️😍
Tina how is your kitten coming along…i had a Siamese and it never relaxed for me…hyper. A relative had a Himalayan. I love the colours…again they are not a relaxed cat. Just got a Ragdoll Cat and it has the colours of the Siamese and Himalayan and very relaxed. I wish you well with MeShu’ and hope he relaxes for you… Just looking for a name for our monster now.
I just lost a grey-point Ragdoll, after 14 years. I had named him Hunny-Bear He had such an amazing disposition and was a great daddy to his 3 kittens. I would always say , “Hi Hunny, I’m home”.when I got in from work. Best pet ever.
I have a female Siamese named Boo. She sleeps a lot. She is very loving and protective of me. I raised her from the day she was born. She does have a bad temper and when she was 14 weeks old she chased a herd of deer out of the yard. She chases dogs, groundhogs, cats. She won’t tolerate anything in her yard or her house. She has recently bonded with a 6 month old gray and white male. He is fat and fluffy and so loving. And I can’t come up with a time. I have never had trouble before. But nothing seems to suit him.
I have a white cat who’s semi ferile so she can be testy at times. I named her Minka – short for Mean Cat!!
Rdbel is cute lol
Sorry rebel damn spell check
I have had 4 siamese kitties in my lifetime. They are the best! They are loving, talkative and smart. My boy was Teiko, I called him T boy. I have a female, her name is Nomi. Also, Meeks and Mya. Enjoy your kitty

Got my shelter kitteh yesterday. He’s anout a year old and how a tuxedo cat would be black and white, he is tabby and white. He’ll bolt off like lightening for no reason (known to me). “Bolt”? “Rocket”? He likes to ‘make dough’ on my face, “Baker”? “MT” (massage therapist lol) He’ll grab and bite your hand while kicking your arm, scratching the crap out of you… “Trip”, as in trip back up the shelter? Just kidding!! It’s about 4am right now and he’s wide open! Hmmmm. My husband uses wideopen______ as one of his email accounts. And he dislikes cats (though he seems to be coming around a bit). How about “Wo”? Pronounced woo or whoa? He’s constantly ‘marking his territory’ with his face, “Mark”, “Marker”? .. It hasn’t even been 24 hours yet…and we have a lot to learn about each other. Who ever he decides to be I already love him with all my heart <3

I’m picking up an abandoned cat today. I’ve resisted getting him because my cat of 15 years died recently and I just wanted time to grieve then I planned on getting a kitten.
He is an orange male, around 3 years old. He’s been abandoned at a barn, he’s friendly and seems desperate for love💕. I’m thinking about naming him dilly -(short for delivered). His owner who was a dentist and had means, just moved away and left him totally alone.😩.
What a horrible person that dentist is…..never trust a person who can treat animals like that, hope all goes well with your new addition. xx
I have 6 cats named Pixie, Cisco Kidd, Elvis, Sampson snake-eyes, Sampson and Lucky
I’d call my cat Adam so whenever he does something i can say ‘Adam’ like in the vine.
Just got an all black cat and had it down to Alfie, Asherr, or jonah.
I chose Asherr, (middle name Cash..like Johnny Cash because he wore all black). Was thinking of Hashii..short for Hashiko. OR prancer because he does..but doesnt it sould like a girl’s name?
Had Chinese Shar-peis..Mooshue & Sushii. Other dogs were Taffy, Button, Apatchy, Patchy for short, lady, Maggie, Daizy, Minnie, harley, Puppy.
We’ve had cats my whole life- Patches, Lincoln, Widget, Che Che, Crackers, Tippy, Midnight, Katy, Kitty.
I named my previous Siamese Pookie, Kizzy, Oliver Pigwig (Piggy), Horace Hotplate, Samlan sangha (Sam), Windy (a nervous cat), Merlin and now I have another Siamese male kitten and have run out of ideas!
We’ve had 11 cats over the past 30 years. Salvador we called him Salv (after Salvador Dali) Todd, Charlie, Ellie, Cassie, Paddy, Jim, Sonny, Vinny, Meg and Dave. At the moment we are trying to get over our loss, 4 of our beloved cats died in 1 year. Cats are amazing….
My dog had passed away on this day and when I seen some one sent a message on this day I could not help but wright this down.
This was the day my dog died and I could not help but wright this.
I have a dog named Levi but it could be for a cat that is white colored ot frosted color.

Okay, we just got a new kitten. He’s blonde and white, fluffy, and full of energy and cuddles. It’s hard to pick a name for him. I was wanting something cute and funny to fit his personality. It also needs to be original as we already have a Teagan, Shae, and Murphy (aka Bitty). I thought of Moose, Griffin, and Finnegan but nothing has stuck. Help??
Here are the names of the cats that have lived with me (70 years worth): Tessie, Goldie, Shootka(Russian for Joker), Simca (Yiddish for blessing), Tiffany (a Siamese), Puff (the magic dragon or Puff’n Stuff), Betsy, Koko (Ko Kau Koon from the Cat Who Mystery books or Kokopeli), Seshu (a Japanese word, I think), Kelly, Roland (from Stephen Kings the Gunslinger), Sammy,, (Clinton, Chelsea, Coal, cats my son adopted).
I’m adopting a male white cat with some black and grey spots tomorrow. The shelter calls him” Squeak,” I will change his name. I’ve made a list with the help of this site and the comments. but will decide when he comes home and I see how he interacts with my cat-friendly dog, Bella. They say he’s a talker and likes dogs. Speaking of which here are some other names: Teddy, Velvet, Sengie Ka-Bob (mouth of the lion, for a Lhasa Apso), Sheba, Roxanne, Cosette, Marcelle (as in Marcelle Marsoe), Klyde (K for Katrina rescue), and Bella.
I love all the variety here! I have 17 cats as well right now, all rescues. They are my little loves.
Molly and Alley, Olivia (Livie), Emma Lee, Grace Ann (gracie), Bell, Abby Gale, Kiki, Baxter, Bree, Snickers, Maggie May, Jaxon (Jax), Bella June.
My babies that have gone on to Heaven: Tootie (Toots), Tashi (Tash), Bear, Charlie, Otis, Shadow, Angel, Boo Kitty, L2, Zoe, Zephyr

13+ yrs ago I got my young daughter a kitten out of the add in the papper. He was a tabby cat well fastforwart a year a a go we had to put him to sleep he was very sick and they couldn’t do anything for him. The name my daughter picked out for that little tabby kitten that night was Thunder. And boy did he grow in to that name! When we moved in to our house and he got settled in, he established dominninc and ruled the the 3 block radious like a lepord on the prowl . And gurded our house furiously , no cat or dog came near our house or our walled yard with him around. It was actually funny to watch.
We had a Siamese that was always getting up to mischief.
We called him Bandit.
Also had Tanna, several Bens, George and others
We’ve got 3 cats, a grey and white kitten called Faye, a tortoise shell called Rolo, and an american ginger tabby called Maisy. Tomorrow we’re collecting our 4th cat, he’s black, a Ragdoll x Manx, & I’m growing on the name “Binx” 😍

My cat is called Most-Flair, he is a special pretty yellow cat with a special twisted tail too.
We have a tuxedo male named Oreo….a seal point Himalayan named Mochi (like the asian ice cream because he looks like an asian anime cat)…and a black kitten named Satch.

I recently rescued a male tuxedo kitten who was very sickly, but is now almost totally well. I’m having the hardest time thinking of what to name him. He is soooo gentle….such a good calm little boy.
The one name I’m thinking of is….. “Kaipo” (means sweet and caring in Hawaiian). I hope you guys add that to your list above.
I have 4 and a kitten right now. Dovey Madeline, Rusty Earl, Rocco Dispirito and Brody Homeland. The kitten is bred for sale… for now I am calling him Steve. And he seems to like it. However his new owners said NO WAY.
My best buddy kitty was named ‘Catman’. I loved him so, but he died at an early age due to a heart condition.

I had a female black and white that was named Oreo and I adopted a male kitten who was found in a box abandoned on the side of the freeway. It took me a couple of weeks to find the perfect name for him, he became Pepe Le’ Pew, Pepe for short. The hardest part was loosing Oreo at 14 years, th 5 months later loosing Pepe at at 12. The two I have now is Moose age 10 this coming March (my grandpa always named his pets that he named Moose. Grandpa passed away the year before I got Moose. Then there’s my other male cat whose four that I named Tux (as in Tuxedo) who looked like he was wearing a cummerbund, but now looks like a weird black square on husband tummy. I’ve been around kittens all my life, even had a cat deliver her babies on me while I was asleep(I think l was around 7 when that happened. Love my babies they keep me company…

We just rescued a 4 month old black and white male kitten. We originally thought it was a girl, so we named her Zoe (which I love!) We’ve just found out that she’s actually a boy and I can’t figure out what to call him! His coloring resembles that of a cow’s. He is super sweet and loving, crazy active and curious. Any thoughts on what I could name this sweet boy?!?
