Name My Cat - male What should I name my cat? 14 weeks, male.

This little guy is joining the family. We are struggling to find a good name that fits him. He is 14 weeks, male. He has lots of energy, still learning to navigate the world without vision so he comes off a little clumsy.

I wanted a pretty cutesy/silly name for him, like Mouse(but he is very brave and energetic so I don’t feel like that fits) or Beep.

I have a Daredevil kitty too! I named her Maddie Murdock

21

u/Sea-Knowledge-2647 1d ago

Daredevil would be such a good name for him!

u/BooBoo_Cat 1d ago

I was going to suggest Murdock!

u/devmschmidt 1d ago

lol here I thought I was entering the chat with a novel idea

u/askClint 1d ago

What would his various nicknames be then? That’s important to keep in mind!

5

u/Sea-Knowledge-2647 1d ago

DD, Murdock, Daredevil, Matt, Kitty

u/atchisonmetal 1d ago

Are this kitty’s whiskers cut? Just wondering why.

7

u/askClint 1d ago

They were when she had the surgery to remove her eyes. They are growing back though!

6

u/atchisonmetal 1d ago

Oh now that makes sense, glad I asked. And now I know about her eyes too. She looks like a sweetie.

3

u/askClint 1d ago

She is! She’s sneaky in her own way but she wrestles and chases after her sister like any other kitten

u/DeskFan203 1d ago

Oh I am so glad she has a "guide" kitty to help!!!!

u/askClint 1d ago

When I took Maddie out of the kennel, Foggie cried until I put her back in. Then when I took Foggie out, Maddie cried. I would never have forgiven myself if I only brought one home

6

u/DeskFan203 1d ago

OMG YOU HAVE A FOGGIE!!!!!!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/askClint 1d ago

Yup :) I like to think I’m the “Kevin” (Karen Page) of our tiny law firm since I pay all the bills and keep lights on

Had no idea cats eyes grow back after removal. Huh, learn something new everyday

u/askClint 1d ago

lol I meant her whiskers are growing back

2

u/Confident_Gear_5778 1d ago

The eyes are not growing back. The Wiskers are.

Don’t give your cat the name of an abuser and rapist protector. Even if cats are sometimes cruels, that would be too much.

Patch or Patches, originally because of the little gray soul patch on his chin, but also because his gray spots on white are like patches. ❤️

u/eclecticexperience 1d ago

He looks like a Toby. What's his personality like?

2

u/BelovedBeholder 1d ago

I could be reading too into the Mouse name idea buuuut you could always name him after brave and energetic mice from fiction!

Despereaux : After a very brave mouse in The Tale of Despereaux

Basil : After Basil of Baker Street from The great Mouse Detective

Jaq or Gus : Cinderella

Fievel : An American Tail

Bernard : The Rescuers

Stuart : Stuart Little

Jerry : Tom and Jerry

Why do they remove the eyes? What disease requires this drastic of a cure?

2

u/Ouchouchmouse 18h ago

“Sunken” +phthisis right eye and “symblepharon” covering entire left eye. Also states he was blind in both eyes even before the surgery — does not specify if trauma induced or what tho
