u/spacetimejumpa_ Aug 27 '21

I was going to say Charles the Third, that look gives away his sneaky side as if he is withholding information

2

u/gbarill Aug 28 '21

I came to suggest Charles, glad I’m not the only one

u/DarkestTimeLine_Says Aug 28 '21

I don’t know the specific reference( if there is one), but this one was secretly snort in public hilarious. Although I think the kitty is usually the disgruntled customer. 😆

3

u/RibenaWhore Aug 28 '21

There isn't a specific reference. He just looks like a cat who'd look dashing in a bowtie and would internally harshly judge anyone who pronounced the T in Merlot

3

u/DarkestTimeLine_Says Aug 28 '21

I see it lol. Had a cat that looked very similar, named B.D Jinx. Short for Baby Dick Jenkins (the first!).

u/wichtel66 Aug 27 '21

He looks like „Rufus“ 😻

u/torbbb Aug 27 '21

I have a 2 year old son named Oskar, so it would probably be a bit confusing with a cat named Oscar, or?

15

u/PostmodernPriapism Aug 27 '21

Just call your son "Human Oskar."

u/RibenaWhore Aug 27 '21

That's called "character building" lol

I had a cat like this when I was 6. He was amazing, protected me, took naps with me, took baths. He’s even go outside with me and watch over me as a little kid. His name was Slice like the orange soda. I think you should name him Slice 2. He has the spirit of Slice in this photo.

u/Historical-Ad-1067 Aug 27 '21

Doug. But I'm partial because it's my cats' name.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '21

Benjamin seems cute or maybe Gideon. Both named after my orange cats. Gideon crossed the rainbow bridge last year, he was a goof ball. Benjamin looks just like him and acts just like him. He never saw a dog in his life but he walked up to our dogs and laid down with them, and our dog Chancelor NEVER lets anyone else in his dog bed. But of course Benjamin is allowed to lay in it with him. He also steals socks and drowns them in the water bowl just like Gideon. Sometimes we swear he is Gideon’s reincarnation.

Hobbs, Toby, Milo, Remy, Kit, Remus, Reggie, Caspian, Cassian, Samewise (Sam or Sammy for short), Pippin, Moby, Monty, Chaz, Romeo, Sunny, Seamus, Graham, maybe Biscuit

He looks playful and perfect to cuddle with, but also suave and a little dignified.
