    Rudolph got his name because he showed up in the snow as a tiny lonely kitten in our driveway in rural WI. This was before Christmas. His Mother never came for him. Heā€™s 3 now and a sweet boy! šŸ˜»

    I named my cat Millie after your cat Millie.

    I was reading Oscar Wilde when I rescued my kitty. Previous owner called him ā€œlittle bastardā€. I couldnā€™t believe it. I named him Oscar. And heā€™s the best kitty ever.

    Usually its their pwrsonality or oooks. If they already came with the name then qe usually changed it slightly. Like Cupcake to Cuppycake.
    One cat found us dispite us having a dog as a kitten she allowed our dog to tree her. We fell for us and learned that she was independent and fearless. My brother named her Athena, who is the Greek Goddess of War and Wisdom. Other personality names, for our cats include Frisky, Fiesty,
    Names based upon looks are Whiskers, Boostie-boo, and Checkerboard (a Tortoise-Shell Calico whoā€™s left eye and right chin was orange and right eye and left chin was black ā€“ with the border almost exactly like four squares meeting at the nose, like a checkboard.
    Other names were from me being girlie, like Princess Tigress, Princee (whome started as Princess because he was too sick for his gender to show, at first), and Sarah (for a dog) because I ran out of Princess names and decided to go on Sarah since it was Hebrew for princess. As just a sampling of many more names.

    My catā€™s name is Dublin, but I didnā€™t choose his name. My brother and his ex-wife did. Dubby, which heā€™s usually called, was found by my brother and his ex outside The Duke Of Dublin Irish Pub And Grill in Abbotsford, BC. Itā€™s not there anymore. Dubby really suits him, as do his plethora other nicknames I have for my cat.
