What Kitten Name Would You Choose?
Ask a Question
I am looking to get a female kitten and was after unusual names. The kitten will either be ginger and white or tortoise shell and white.
Our little Torti was named Topaz by my daughter because she has beautiful Topaz Yellow eyes & is her cat, we also call her Topsey, Princess Tortikins or Toto when calling her home...
janphoenix51 What a beautiful cat she is. How old is she? Do you have any other pets? We are getting another cat as our cat is our only pet after losing two cats and a dog in her life time.
janphoenix51 beautiful - but then I am biased as she looks so much like our Trudi (who is 17 years old now) 
didbygraham ...Trudi is absolutely beautiful..
Phoenix was my late 32 year old Nephew D's favourite out of the 2,he used to call Topaz a "Messy Cat" because of her colouring,our D was excellent at Art Topaz would have been a Painters Palette for him,he loved all animals & was a devoted daddy to 2 beautiful little daughters...
DRG RIP..X

A better photo of Topaz,you can see her beautiful autumn coat here better..
Yes here is her brother Phoenix, he is my cat hence my user name..
Phoenix & Topaz were 10 on March 7th,had them since they were 8 weeks old,they are our babies..
Phoenix was born with one white Whisker,Topaz has what looks like white eye liner below her left eye & she has a quarter light ginger leg..
Yes get a rescue cat or kitten & introduce them slowly to each other,they will be company for each other when left alone.x
janphoenix51 Luckily there is usually someone at home so hardly get left alone for long but hopefully it gives our cat a playmate.
eyeballkerry ...Yes all cats need a playmate ,we allow Phoenix a night run as we know he comes back ,usually escorted to the back door by his black & white mate!
Topaz sits inside the conservatory looking for them,we don't allow her out after Dinner if we can help it because she would stay out all night whereas Phoenix will come home!
I have walked the streets near where I live in the early hours of the morning & waited up till 5am for Topaz to return home,learnt my lesson there!
My partner was pacing up & down when she stayed out late,or if on a Sleep In,he was ringing or texting me asking if Topaz was home..
So yes Topaz is on a curfew,allowed out till evening but has to be home by a certain time!
Our daughter was less trouble! 
janphoenix51 Went out yesterday evening to collect our new kitten but unfortunately I had to come away empty handed. The woman selling them also had tiny kittens wandering around obviously the kitten she was selling us was older than advertised and she had let her cat have two litters one after the other. Plus I asked what she was feeding the kitten to which she replied ‘ they will eat anything, so I just buy the cheapest’. I asked if I could take some food so the kitten would be eating the same until I changed it. I then saw the bag of food. It was adult cat biscuits. I asked for my money back and left.
eyeballkerry ...So sorry you didn't get your little kitten..
Absolutely disgusting the way the woman isn't looking after her cat properly allowing it to have yet more kittens not long after just having a litter.
As for feeding kittens adult cat biscuits a IRRESPONSIBLE woman,not fit to own a pet!
There seems to be a trend of giving pets human names. My neighbour has a cat called Neil. It's quite funny when he calls for it to come back home!
Auntielettie Guilty as charged! We have had Wendy (sadly departed), and have Trudi and a dog called Gilbert. They all suited their names!
That would sound funny hearing that being called out. My daughter also likes the name Nell or Nelly at the moment
My current cat is called Conker but a previous cat I called Engelbert but I got fed up calling that name so just shouted 'Bert' when I wanted him to come in. I must admit I always find human names amusing like 'Tim' or 'Clive' etc for some reason for cats.
BonzoBanana ...What I find amusing is all the different items of furniture/shoes/ clothes with human names...I ask WHY??
eyeballkerry...There are lots of Cat Sanctuaries ,lots of pets needing a forever home...Try there,good luck...
janphoenix51 I have tried but because I already have a cat they will not allow me any of the cats they have.
eyeballkerry ..Ask around your friends & neighbours, surely they must know someone..
I have 4 cats! Skye,Minnie,Harvey & Ollie. A bunny Thumper and 2 dogs. Puppy Bear and Elder dog Charlie. Lol if the kitten was black i'd of said Bagheera. I just love that name (:
boepeep Wow, you have a lot of pets. I used to have 22 pets but sadly down to a cat, chinchilla and some outdoor fish. Can’t wait to add next week.
boepeep .... 
..
Phoenix's nickname from our daughter IS Baby Bagheera as well as Sooty Paws,she nicknamed his sister Princess Tortikins or Baby Paws!
boepeep I had 3 dogs, 3 cats, 3 chinchillas, 2 guinea pigs, 1 hamster, chickens and rabbits plus outdoor and indoor fish. I think i had more than 22!
boepeep At the moment we are just getting a kitten, which we will collect next week. But we are hoping to move soon so will not get anymore until then.
eyeballkerry Enjoy your latest fur baby! 
and I hope your move goes well. My latest baby - Bear he's almost 6 months 
Suki is a very common name, I'm often hearing it for cats whilst in the waiting room at the vets.
Luna, Willow, Daisy, Cleo and Skye, although beautiful names are also very popular.
I like human names but more unique than traditional.
Aurora, Ariel, Phoebe, Hope, Darcey, Heidi or Beatrix.
Scarlett, Rosie or Winnie would suit a ginger cat and Olive for a tortoiseshell. 
If you like a name but want a female or cat touch, add ette or kins to the end of their name - Bobette, Bobkins 
Have you considered reaching out to a rescue? They often have younger cats that those on their website, but they don't always advertise because they want the older ones to find themselves a home first, so they either don't advertise or have a waiting list for those that want kittens. If you take on a cat it may already have a name and you may like it and keep it's name, which they are already used to.
DeBunny Some really great name here. I used to have a cat called Cleo and my daughter had a dog called Aurora. Love the idea of adding on the end.
Finally found my kitten today but can not collect it until next week. She is a beautiful light tabby. Now we have a kitten we can seriously think of a name that will suit her. Thanks for all your help.
eyeballkerry ...Soo pleased for you,don't forget to share a photo with us ...
Introduce your new baby slowly at first so the other cat gets used to it's new mate...
Good luck..
will collect her on Saturday. You can see mum and dad in the background.
eyeballkerry ...Beautiful tabby kitten,what about Tabitha for a name or Tigger or Tiger...
Enjoy your new baby..x
janphoenix51 My daughter likes the name Nelly, we did think about the name Buddy after the character elf but think it’s more of boys name.
We named our little doggy Samantha, we never shortened it lol we always used her full name . Once I googled pets/dogs called Samantha and saw Barbra Streisand also had a dog with that name . 
My tortorshell. Was called Amberina because of her eyes.and my ginger is called edward.
Boots (as in puss in boots)
Maybe after the jewel for her birthday month.
Pearl
Crystal
Ruby
Emerald
Diamond
Garnet
Topaz
Sapphire
grannygoggles ...Our Torti is Topaz because our daughter named her kitten after the colour of her eyes over 10 years ago...It suits her,daughter also calls her Tortikins, Toto or Baby Paws, we all shout Toto when calling her home !
Cooking Fat . Kind of just rolls off the tongue ....and if it trips you up then just switch the first initials around .
my kitty was born without a tail, we call her bare, short for bare bum. She’s just the cutest. X
