My sister in law- a cat-lover in extremis- is trying to persuade me to get a particular cat from the Cats Protection charity place.

Which is fine, as I'd rather home one that needs somewhere to live. But it appears to be called Petal. I'm not having a cat called Petal.

The cat's fine, but it'll need to be re-christened. I've told her that if I can't rename it something of my choice- like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, for example- then the deal's off.

Then we have to give examples of people with marvellous names then? I vote for Tokyo Sexwale

Oooh. Ambrose. Like Curtly Ambrose <light goes on>

I think classic West Indian cricketers- or, in fact, any old-school cricketers- could be a goldmine of potential names.

Thanks!

My mum got a massive 3 legged Tom Cat from a home, they called him Fu-Fu.

Mother was having none of that, so we named it after Arundel Breweries fine tipple Old Knucker, (by virtue of how it could make you legless).

When Knucks had been particularly naughty, killing a Wildebeest etc, we'd call him Fu-Fu and he'd look you in such a way you'd know he was planning your murder.


Bless him.

I've been planning to get a couple of cats for a while. If and when I make the leap, I'd been thinking of "to be" and "not to be" as suitable names.

Friend of mine named all his cats after cricketers. He had a Sachin and, I'm pretty sure, a Lara.

Personally I'm a big fan of giving cats / dogs fairly routine names like Simon, Robert or Susan.

(no offence to any Simons, Roberts or Susans).

If I got a dog, I think I'd call him KEITH.
