Well, how about Regal or CC (as in Canada Cat), or Minky (I had a cat, that looked like yours, named Minky).

Well, I did not say no, just found it an interesting name for a kitty cat. But you have succesfully explained your position

BTW Buggy, I did NOT copy you shortcake, you are just (as usual) to quick with that keyboard and beat me to the punch.

I still like CC though or Cee-Cee as Buggy spelled it.
Minky is still my favorite.

... and, she and I talked it over and she told me that was her name.

Beautiful kitty! I have a Himalyan mix that looks just like that whose name is: CoCo. That's my suggestion.

I think you should name her Molson. After all, you are Canadian, and you teach us fun drinking games. Plus, her coloring reminds me of beer.

(OK, trick answer...practically anything reminds me of beer.)

Evil, rude, snotty, and proud of it!

She looks like a Diva to me. So you can name her Diva - or Celine, after a Canadian diva. Or not. It's just a thought - either way, I know that my heart will go on.

edited because I typo-ed on know AGAIN

How about Princess or Ivory?

I'd suggest Bucky, but she looks much nicer than him. How does she feel about ferrets?

If you like Saturday Night Live, you could call her Toonces.

If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find time to do it again? - Anonymous

On the Minuteman Bikeway in Lexington, MA -- the bikeway crosses a major road, and there is a gate at the intersection. On the gate, a sign posted by the town says, "Beware of Intersection" and features a drawing of ... Toonces behind the wheel.

P.S. My late cat Calvin (his brother was named Hobbes) was commonly called C.C. (for Calvin Cat). He seemed to like being called C.C. better than he liked being called Calvin. So ... count me in the C.C. (or CeCe) camp.

I'd suggest Bucky, but she looks much nicer than him.

I'm shocked you would say that. No one is better looking then me! Are you a ferret PackMan?

Some famous cats:

Pyewacket is the name of the cat in Bell, Book, and Candle. She not only has lilac eyes, but she is the witch's familiar. Pye means stray so that might work for you.

Cat was Holly Golightly's cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's .. always a fine choice.

Or you could just memorialize our dear departed software and call her Napster

And there is always Kitt.

>>Cat was Holly Golightly's cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's .. always a fine choice.<<

That's right. And, that's what I would name my cat, if I had one. (Although, I did have a grandma who had a dog named "dog"...)

Femme

The first name that came to mind is Phantom.

I don't know if it is b/c of the lighting on the picture (I hope that this isn't one of those things that you will now notice everytime you see the cat if it isn't the lighting), but it looks like there is a patch of black that goes up the side of her nose and then down to her mouth and then around to her eye. I thought of the Phantom of the Opera mask.

Cute cat though.

Look at her... she really looks like she has a beard or something, so I nominate Beard to be her name.

Penelope thinks she should be called Vanilla because not only does she have a lot of white, but the darker colours can look like pure vanilla extract as well.

.....

Wow, Canada Girl, she is gorgeous!

I had a friend whose cat was named C.C. She said it stood for Crazy Cat.

My own personal choice is Velvet, just because she looks so soft and touchable, or Blue Velvet, or just Blue for the color of her eyes (they look blue in the photo).

The funny thing about cats is that they don't usually come when you call their name. I read in a cat psychology book that cats will come when you call their name, but if you ever do something they don't like, such as, a flea bath or some other unpleasant cat torture - they will never come when you call their name again.

Knowing that, I always called them by their name if I wanted to give them something good, but just picked them up and carried them if it was time to do something they didn't like much. I have also found that they will come running when you shake the treat can.

Come on in, the water's fine!

She's just gorgeous CG! Thanks for showing us!

I like the names so far! It's going to be hard to pick! I suggest "Lucky" because she sure lucked out by adopting you as her family!

MM "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." - Vince Lombardi

She's lovely. Looks a lot like my kitty actually. I'm on the CC bandwagon...though my initial thought was Stardust. Maybe it's because I'm the green fairy now...but she looks magical and sweet to me...

Cappuccino! Same colors!

Hey, I like Cappuccino too!

.....

How about Tigger?

I don't have a reason - just what came to me immediately when I saw her lovely pic.

I just want you to know that I have terrible experience in naming animals. We had a stray cat show up at our door 13 years ago. The neighbor kids called her Fluffy (lots of fur), but when we decided to take her in it was on the condition that she never be called Fluffy in my presence. But, we never could decide on a name, hence she became Cat - or Kitty as an alternative. We had her for 10 years.

Then, along came a stray dog through my sis-in-law, the vet. A little Manchester Terrier with a lot of other mixed in. Her most striking feature when we got her was no real bark, just a nervous squeaking sound. So, we ended up call her Squeaker. Fortunately, she became an excellent watchdog and protection for sittek when she went out for dogs in our rough neighborhood. No one every messed with her as long as Squeaker was along.

So, based on our lousy record in naming animals, if I had your cat I'd call her Dusty in a second and be happy. But, that's just me.

she does look regal...how about Cleopatra? Cleo for short

lol, just realized there's a Survivor tie-in there, though completely unintentional!!!
guess it depends on if the name is too tainted by a past media-whore for you to get past it

Oooh, I like Cleo. Can I change my vote?

If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find time to do it again? - Anonymous

With all the recent dialog on little blue men..I immediately thought "Blue Boy" or BB! BlueBoy could be our official SB mascot!

Whatever you name your kitty, you sure have a purdy kitty that "adopted" you!(yeah, like you really had a choice in the adoption proceedings!)

Regards,

Yeah, adoption really have little to do with your opinion. It's the eyes I tell you! *laughs*

I was working at a travelstore in Ohio and Gypsy was running around the truckers' parking lot. She kept following people inside so she could eat. One of the truckers was going to take her home if we could find a box for her to be put in. He changed his mind later, said she wouldn't fit (she was only 2 months old at the time *whatever*).

So, I packed the little girl up and took her to Indiana with me. She was supposed to get a bath and then go to the shelter, but she's been living at my house ever since. Yeah, and be careful of those magical vets--every time I took Gypsy to the vet she doubled in size. She is stabilized at 120#, but the last visit was just for her shots and it's been awhile. *laughs*

Awww - what a cute cat!

Here is a list of top twenty girl cat names - maybe this will help.

http://www.kittynames.com/top20/cat_female.html

Aloof...bizarre...sarcastic...volatile...he is a CAT after all!

I had a couple of cats that I named Fungus and Maggot. I had a lot of fun with these names, as they where beautiful cats, and it was just funny to call them something like that.

Your cat is White, with brown shading, so why not call her Toilet Paper, or TP for short?

Cute kitty! I love kitties, they're so... evil. We had a cat named Spazz for a while. Although he never got called that. We called him "Newman" most of the time, because he'd jump up on the bed and I'd have a very Seinfeld-esque "Hello, Newman" for him right before knocking him off.

Looks like a Koko to me tho.

Houston 19, Dallas 10!
Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled.

I don't have a name for her. I just wanted to say she a real beauty.

Personally, I thought "Canada Cat" sounded way cool!

Contradictions don't exist. If you are faced with a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

We (my roomies and I) had a cat in college that looked like her. Our kitties name was Kazy Ann. Kazy because she was crazy and one of my roomies wanted to name her Ky (rhymes with pie) as in KY Jelly...we compromised with Kazy. Ann was her middle name because there were four girls that lived in the house and we all had the middle name Ann so our kitty had to have it too. It was a house rule that if you were female your middle name had to be Ann or Anne.

Noel or
Celeste

Come in a stranger,leave a little stranger

Snoochie is a nice name...

Just wanted to say what a pretty little girl kitty she is and she is very fortunate to have adopted your family!!!

Snoocharoo

You've got a gorgeous kitty there CC and what a big heart you have for giving her a home.

I'm with the others that C.C. is a good name for her, however I have some suggestions of my own:

1. Mistofleas -- good cat name *hee hee* and I think I need to be represented in Canada

2. Slinky -- All cats kinda "slink" around and since their spines are all bendy and stuff...

3. Mistofleas -- see #1

4. Suki -- since she's obviously got some Siamese in her that would be a good name

5. Squeegie -- I just think it would be cool to yell for the cat with that name. "Hey Squee...get your little tail in here!"

6. Mistofleas -- See #1 & #3

& finally...

7. Sybil -- with all the great suggestions you may be calling the cat by many different names for a bit, testing them out...poor things gonna get multiple personalities!

There you have it. My suggestions for a beautiful kitty name.

--sends not so subliminal messages to CC to name her cat mistofleas

You know, I was thinking and Mistofleas is a really nice name.

Buggy- I feeel kinda funny

Hee hee hee....Muahhhhhh!

*ahem* Mistofleas...mistofleas...mistofleas....

--thinks buggy's the cats pajamas

Hey! Why am I wearing little bitty pajamas??

- mistofleas mistofleas mistofleas

Oh, she's precious! How adorable. She has beautiful markings, CG. I used to have a cat that looked a lot like your kitty. Her name was Cricket because she jumped as she walked.

I like Canada Cat, too. Have fun choosing!

I remember a cat that looked very much like this one named Fluffer-nutter (like the sandwich).

Other cats I have known:
Juliet
Isabelle
Jezabelle
Tushka
Butt-lick (for real)

I do like C.C. though. Or maybe Tumbler

Tumbler

I've changed my mind, CG, how about naming her Silvergirl.

"Sail on silver girl, sail on by
your time has come to shine,
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind"

If you are still in doubt, call all of the suggested names on this thresd one by one and see which one she answers to.

If Bebo can use her name in the subject line, why can't I?

I'd say name her Kimmi - best name for a cat....
Well, either that or Grunhilda, I guess.

Oh and hey people, I haven't had access for a few weeks but I'm working on it (hopefully before the end of the week ;)

See y'all soon! ^_~

Now let us never speak of S3 again.

Well, I personally name cats after famous dead people (mine are Janis Joplin and Ella Fitzgerald). Yours looks kind of Hepburnesque to me. She's beautiful and self-assured in a classy sort of way.

Give it a couple of days in my new slow cooker and talk about some tender jerky. Yum, yum!

O, Don't get your knickers in a knot! Just joking! Honestly? I'd call it Stew instead.

Well, I'm just glad to know we think alike!

I'm waiting here with minnow breath to find out if the cat answers to mistofleas or not!

Oh and I can't believe that IceCat hasn't shown up to promote his name for the cat. I'm thinking...Canada=Ice. Cat=Cat.

IceCat!

Of course since the kitty will answer to "mistofleas" anyway, we don't need to even consider that suggestion.

mistofleas...you want to name your cat...mistofleas.

--wonders why she's so self-absorbed this morning

I was wondering the name myself. Come on Canada Girl, you have to tell us!!

Besides I have a couple un-named pets at my house and have been waiting to post a naming thresd.

Yeah but buggy can you really consider dust bunnies "pets"?

--runs away giggling before buggy can smack her

edited cuz I haven't had enough coffee to spell correctly

Hey, be nice to Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail!!

( actually my new pets are small and wet, and seriously boring so far)

Small wet and boring? Okay you've either got tree frogs or you've started a medical leech farm!

What did I win??

--just grossed herself out at the thought of leeches

I'm thinking...Canada=Ice.

Oh we Canadians just LOVE those stereotypes. FYI - my weekend plans include long sleeps in my igloo and dogsledding over to the nearest frozen lake in my parka so I can play ice hockey with my friends. But that is much more fun then my regular day-to-day work of hunting seals for oil for kerosene lamps!

Sorry Misto, couldn't let you slide on that one.

Aloof...bizarre...sarcastic...volatile...he is a CAT after all!

Nice parka eh?

>>>>>Sorry Misto, couldn't let you slide on that one<<<<<

Now Bucky dear, don't get your little Maple Leaf boxers in a bundle!

I feel prefectly free to make stereotypical comments aboot Canada being "icy" because even though I now live in Texas, I am and always will be a true Minnesotan. We're always getting flack for being buried under 10 tons of snow and ice, eating nothing but lutefske and thinking that a big night on the town is a basement supper at the town Luthern Church after spending the day icefishing!

And just so you know, I was thinking Canada=Ice because isn't there a beer called "Canadian Ice"?

--loves all her Canadian friends and thinks she should get an honorary Canadian membership card

--loves all her Canadian friends and thinks she should get an honorary Canadian membership card

First ya need a parka though eh?

Buggy- hopes Bucky knows she is teasing

First ya need a parka though eh?

Oh ja, ja...I've got my parka all ready to wear. It's got maple leaf applique's and back bacon in the pocket in case I get stranded in the Yukon!

--thinks Bucky is gonna kick the bugs butt

Ok Misto, being from Minnesota is almost as good as good as being Canadian. In fact, Minnesota is a lot colder and gets way more snow then I do out here on the west coast. I don't mind the stereotypical jokes, because I have lots of funny stories about American tourists in Canada.....

Buggy - I never have and never will own a parka, and normally you would get a good old swipe with my right paw. But I have a little soft spot for you since you were the first person to welcome me here. Just don't push it.

CG - sorry for hijacking the thread. Now that I think of it, maybe you should name the cat Parka.

Aloof...bizarre...sarcastic...volatile...he is a CAT after all!

*giggle*
Ah Bucky, you know I don't mean it. Have i told you lately how glad I am you stayed with us? That I think of you everyday when I read the comics?

Bugg- West Coaster herself

Ok Misto, being from Minnesota is almost as good as good as being Canadian.

*phew* Side swiped that one didn't I? *wink*

But I have a little soft spot for you since you were the first person to welcome me here. Just don't push it.

Neener, neener neener....Buggy got a warning!!

CG - sorry for hijacking the thread. Now that I think of it, maybe you should name the cat Parka.

Now that name I like!

--still says that cats name should be mistofleas and is still waiting anxiously for CG to get her butt in here and tell us the damn cats name!
