I love old man names. They need to make a huge comeback. Has anyone said Basil? Or Cedric? How about Larry, lol. Or Xavier, or Hugo!

I actually have cats named Sydney (after Sydney Greenstreet), Roscoe (aka Sir Roscoe) Werner (Von Browncat) and Arthur. Nobody can resist calling Arthur "Arfur", because it's perfect for him. Roscoe's name totally suits him, too. He's butterscotch stripey, old and meows a great deal, and you always imagine him in a pith helmet and safari jacket, quaffing a gin and tonic.

"Fred the cat" or "Bob the cat" crack me up. I once knew a cat named Bob. He was a real card. I also really dig Elmer, Boris, Humphrey, Harvey and Homer.

I once knew a beautiful pair of white cats, brother and sister, named Clyde and Clara. :-) .

p.s. Not just "Arfur" either, people also call him Arfur Treacher, Arfur Mewbenstein, Arfur Pawcross (!!), and Arfur Miller.

We have a cat named Clovis. I love the name and couldn't wait to use it.

We also have a Louis Tabby. Our other male is Yukon (not an old man name) and our other cats are females.

Louie's great! My guys are Clancy, Jazz, Jasper, Bubba and Obama.

Mine are Molly and Buddy John, which are boring but she gets called Wally or perhaps Mrs Wally when I'm feeling polite, and he's Johnny or J Buddington Cat III.

My sister had a cat named Louie. I used to have a cat named Elvis when I was younger.

We've got 5 girls: Lily, Hoku, Meow Meow (it was Sabrina, but she meows ALL the time, so...), Mila, and Muppet. Our boy's name is Bishop.

I got that from the movie "Sleepwalkers"-- he's a big sweet orange tabby. I think it's a great kitty name!

We used to have a huge fluffy white tom named Casper (or Caspurrr)... I miss him so much.

**JadeStar70** · May 25th, 2011, 12:12 PM

**sputnik** · May 25th, 2011, 03:51 PM

because i don't want to buy a kitten i'm waiting for this woman who takes in strays and acts as the neighbourhood 'cat lady' to let me know when a litter is born so i can pick my kitten.
