New Kitty. What should I name him?

[blogslut]

He's the loudest of the litter and he's a poly.

Suggestions for a name?

[ccharles000]

1. I like the name sammy

[blogslut]

2. Thank you

But we've already done Sammy for another cat. :hi:

[arcadian]

3. Does he have a tusk?

Otherwise, I really don't know.

[blogslut]

4. Nope. No horn.

Just an extra finger on each front paw.

FUCKING POLYDACTYLS! FUCK YEAH!

[KitchenWitch]

5. Name him Whisper

:silly:

[blogslut]

6. hmmm

We like to abbreviate kitty names. Whispy...

It's a possibility.

[Arugula Latte]

7. Name him "OH HOLY CRAP HE'S ADORABLE!!!!"

But, if you don't like that, maybe

Baxter (good for a tuxie -- sounds like a butler)
Quincy
Jinxy
Domino
Bugsy
Bubba
Pokey
Spiffy
Sherman
Grover
Seymour

[blogslut]

8. I like Baxter

Cause we can shorten that to Baxy. We have an obsession with nicknames that end in "y".

Just the same, I'm not hearing any bells ringing. It was so much easier when little blogslut lived here. She was the master at kitten names. Fucking college and growing up! I hate that!

[Maraya1969]

31. How about Dewy? I adopted a dog named Dewy and he was a great dog.

Plus the name is so cute....according to me.

[blogslut]

9. I need bells, people!

Fucking bells! Give me a name that rings!

[Roon]

32. how about ""Radar"

[Mollis]

43. My mom had a cat named Radar.

He had really big ears. lol

[Roon]

47. I had a Radar too

I was a kid and just discovered MASH re-runs.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Guido

[blogslut]

11. Guidy?

He doesn't even have a mustache! WTF is wrong with you?

:)

[CreekDog]

33. There are no wrong answers

No, wait! There are... :hi:

[cherish44]

12. He looks like a Percy to me

You could be cutesy and spell it Purrrrrcy. :D

[blogslut]

13. Fuck!

Percy is an awesome name. I hate you because I wanted this thread to blow up. Take your suggestion back immediately!

[Gormy Cuss]

14. Hannibal

The character Hannibal Lechter was a polydactyl.

:P

[blogslut]

15. Ooooh, he was?

I don't remember that detail.

Hannibal = Bally

Thinking, that I like Bally.

Fuck! I hate naming kitties!

[Flaxbee]

16. Kissy

Actually, Kiska is colloquial for cat in Russian... or just kissy-smoochy-sweet-little-kitty-face would be a good name. :D

[blogslut]

17. I love you

Kissy it is!

As for the extra, "kissy-smoochy-sweet-little-kitty-face", that's what I call all my cats! That, and:

"You littles assholes!"
"Damned Bastids"
"Get off the counter, you shitheads!"

:)

[Flaxbee]

19. yay for Kissy!

:hi:

Ours (six of 'em) also get the occasional "Gah! Dammit! F*ckers!" names, too. :D

[blogslut]

21. Kissy it is

And that is forevar!

KISSY. That is my KAT!

:hi:

[amitten]

18. Toonces. n/t

[blogslut]

20. I love Toonces but he's not a Tabby.

heehee :)

[amitten]

22. Just name him it. n/t

[blogslut]

23. I think I'm going with Kissy

I dig it. :hi:

EDIT ADD: His mother's name is Hissy, so it totally fits.

[amitten]

24. Kissy is okay. But clearly Toonces is better. n/t

[blogslut]

25. Ya know what? I disagree.

Toonces is a fumbly name. It does not roll off the tongue.

I like Kissy! And KISSY it shall be.

[amitten]

26. That cat will never drive a car, I can tell you that. n/t

[blogslut]

28. LOL! You speak the truth!

And that's a good thing!

[Flaxbee]

40. No! Kissy is best!

:D

Kissy it is!

[sakabatou]

27. Jet

[blogslut]

29. I like Jet

But I'm going with Kissy.

41. Kissy Kat !!!

:bounce:

That's too cute! I want to smooch his widdle kissy face. :loveya:

[Rob H.]

42. Kissy is good, but

I like Ernie after Ernest Hemingway, who was a lover of polydactyl kitties. It also gives him a "y" sound at the end of his name. :)

[Warpy]

44. Loud? Foghorn.

He'll grow into it.

[JitterbugPerfume]

45. I named my new kitty

Mandu

as in Cat-mandu

[TZ]

46. Aww thats cute!

[Arugula Latte]

49. I know people who have a kitty named "Hobie" as in "Hobie Cat" (kayak, sailing co.)

[JitterbugPerfume]

59. I like that!

as a matter of fact I think that is my next kittys name!

I already have Tansy , Lilith and Mandu though , so it might be a while!

[jobycom]

50. Pretty darned sexist? What, women can't do?

Sorry, it's an adorable name. Sarcastic puns are a failing of mine, but try as I might, I can't seem to shake it.

[JitterbugPerfume]

52. womandu just does not sound right!

:rofl:


besides he is a boy kitty:hi:

[AlCzervik]

51. Ed.

[KamaAina]

53. A friend once had a poly named Darwin

:-)

[jmowreader]

54. Name him Dammit

As in "Quit climbing the curtains, Dammit!"

[applegrove]

55. Polly or Pauly

[Roon]

56. It looks like you're SQUISHING it!!!

:o

[blogslut]

65. I wasn't squishing him

He was just upset because I took him away from his mother.

[Roon]

68. Awww

so cute..

[haele]

57. Hemmingway...

Hemmingway's cats were polydactyl.

BTW, get kitty used to paw rubs to make claw clipping easier, no matter if you decide to clip claws yourself or find a groomer. A guillotine type clipper works best for them, especially with the thumbs which can be a weird angle to deal with when you want to extend the claws.
Check for "thumbs" that don't fully form; our polydactyl Princess has a tiny partial 7th thumb in the crease that has a claw that quickly grows back into the large foot pad, and gets infected. We still need to take her to a Vet (groomers tend to freak or miss the 7th thumb) to get her claws clipped every six weeks because of this; we got her too late in life(she was a 2 year old rescue from the pound) for her to have gotten used to having her paws and claws handled, the way our older cats did. We're still working on the pad manipulation/trust factor, so that might change another two/three years down the road, but for now, it's a costly pain.

58. Props for Kissy.

We concur.

[tabbycat31]

60. Captian Loudmouth

one of my cat's many nicknames.

[amitten]

61. Toonces. n/t

[WinkyDink]

62. Loudest? "Desi Bell".

[DevonRex]

63. Not Kissy. He has some pride, you know. Plus, he'll trip you on the top of the stairs

if you name him that.

[AwakeAtLast]

64. I had a loud cat I named Squeak

That's the sound she made - "SQUEAK!!!" :rofl:

[DainBramaged]

66. Snotling, all of my poly's were snots (but the best)

[blogslut]

67. Mine have always been sweet-natured

Of course, all cats are inherently snotty.

For some reason, my polys have a fascination for pennies. They love to bat them around and pick them up with their awesome forepaws.

[sasquatch]

69. My Grandma adopted a loud talkative kitten and she named him Gabrial

After the horned Angel.
