Look! I have a new friend!!! He showed up around the farm recently and I fed him and he climbed into my lap and now he’s mine! What should I call him?
Here’s another shot of him. He’s so pretty! Make as many suggestions as you like. We’re going out of town this weekend for the holiday, but I’ll be back on Tuesday and we’ll have a family vote on the names and choose one! The winner will receive their pick from my contemporary backlist. 
Shhh!!! Don’t tell Buttercup about this!

Mittens after my kitty that I lost almost four years ago. He was black but he didn’t have the white paws! 😆 He was named after the three little kittens that lost their “mittens”!

So cute! Just from looking at the first picture I have to suggest – Whiskers; Jade; Panda?

Fannie M Wiggins says:
I say Moochie. He seems to be begging for something, Food maybe? He is cute and black so maybe Midnight? Ahh heck Suz, I am no good with names.:wall:
But those are my picks:
Moochie
Midnight.

Sonja says:
Panda’s a cute idea. 🙂 I always go with the traditional names for my pets. My dog’s name is Sydney and my family’s two dogs when I was growing up were Ramona and Sally.
For some reason, this cat looks like he’s the artsy type, which reminds me of one of my sister’s old boyfriends who played classical guitar, so I’d name him Pepe Romero. But I’d always pronounce it PeePee ROME-ero. Because my sister used to do that to make her boyfriend mad. And I’m just passive-aggressive enough to think that’s really funny and want to immortalize the memory forever in the name of my pet.

Goodness I’ve named so many but it’s hard without knowing his personality.
Mosi – Navajo for cat
Takoda – Sioux for friend
Keiko – Japanese for adored one
Lorcan – Irish for little wild one
PAX – 😉

Le Ellis says:
Your new cat looks similar to mine. Except mine has fur that is more reddish brown than black. We named her Hershey. She looks like she has a smudge of chocolate on her upper lip. 🙂 You could name yours Smore, chocolate and marshmallows mashed together.
On February 17, 2006 at 4:43 pm
Courtne says:
He looks just like my sister’s cat, Oreo. Perfect name!
On February 17, 2006 at 4:46 pm
Estella Kissell says:
It’s kind of hard to name an animal without observing it for a while, but I will go with Silkie. His black color looks like silk.
On February 17, 2006 at 4:55 pm
Jennifer Yates says:
How about:
Ace
Leo
Gus
Or since you alread have Buttercup, how about Bubbles or Blossom? :rotfl: Sorry…couldn’t resist. How is Buttercup handling the new addition?

Oh, he has gorgeous green eyes like the sea so I suggest Poseiden – you could always call him Po for short 😆
On February 18, 2006 at 12:58 am
ruby55 says:
Boy, he is gorgeous. I wouldn’t mind having him.:thumbsup:
Let’s see. I’m not good at names either never having had to name anything in living memory, maybe my goldfish, but that was eons ago.
I like Bandit. The dog upstairs is named that: he’s a pug but a real cutie and so much wanting a petting unless he’s shivering to death.
I’m thinking;
Mask
Max(i)
Zorro
Domino or
Dom for short and that also has meaning as in “Dom Perignon”
Zeus (since we’re into gods)
Hope–since he looks so hopeful on the first picture.
Ivanhoe–what my sister named her dog after Sir Walter Scott’s knight.
Drat, still can’t remember the second name I thought of. So fleeting is the mind–mine is anyway. Yuck!:loser:
Hope you had a great holiday.
I may be back.
Humph, you guys get a holiday. We don’t. Next one’s not until Easter, though the children and teachers get school break about 3rd week in March. Not that it really makes a difference to me unless the stores close.
On February 18, 2006 at 2:09 am

The first thing I thought of was oreo, also bandit, or maybe since you already have a buttercup, maybe chocolate chip?:rotfl:
On February 18, 2006 at 2:33 am
TeresaH says:
maybe since he strayed in there, hobo or vagabond, or even tramp, or coffecup, or cafe au lait
On February 18, 2006 at 2:38 am
Fannie M Wiggins says:
He’s black and white so why not
Harlequin? Or Checkers? If all else fails just call him Cat.Or Ruffian.
:hissyfit: I am no goo at this naming someone else’s pet.

BTW, when I suggested Domino, it was with 2 things in mind: There are of course the black and white domino tiles but in the Regency, as a Regency author recently reminded us, people would were “dominos” to masked balls. They consisted of a mask with a hooded cloak. (I think that’s right.)
