I had 2 cats, brothers called jd and turk, turk passed away in december 08, and jd was lonely so we went to the rescue centre we got the boys from and came home with a lttle lady called pickles.
They hated each other at first but play fight and kiss now x bless em xx
Schutzengel, you seem to be the only one to have gone for a for an exotic name which at any rate used to be an established name for a cat, namely the Latin Felix. Perhaps Smirnoff is a bit exotic but hardly established.
What makes our cats' names seriously exotic is that they have all had Japanese names. Not so surprising really as I have wife and our offspriing are Japanese, and the extended family are greatly extended and all have cats. The challenge therefore is to think of unused names for them. Ironically the Japanese often give their pets silly foreign names, so we return the compliment and give ours silly Japanese ones. We did have the euphoniously alliterative Goro and Pero ('Purr' and 'Lick'), Goro being a sort of pun on the a Japanese name which translates as Quintus and Pero was only later revealed to have been used for a dog in a Japanese cartoon. Bet that was one of the 'silly foreign names', based on Spanish perro, dog, and right enough they did have a cat-and-dog relationship. One got lost, the other got squashed (but only by dementia, and she was heartbreakingly determined not to be diminished by it). When she had had enough she took the first opportunity to go off and find a place to die. I think that place was Goro's resting place, and that she committed suttee over his grave.
Hi MWB, nice to see you again, how're things in NZ ??
We had four cats at one stage, now there are none, alas -
Foo, my big white fluffball Chinchilla, Mouse - his half-sister by Siamese father, grey and very talkative, Daisy - blue Himalayan Colourpoint and Sam - dear soul, came from a pet shop.
We now have three dogs, two Westies Jamie and Charlie, and Holly, 12 week-old Curly Coat and we also have a never-ending riot from one end of the house to the other !!
I used to have 2 cats ...Mozart and then his nephew Monty (Monty didn't grow after about 12 weeks so was also called Midget)
And now have 2 dogs ... Baileys (Bailes, Bailer, or The White Dog) and Saffy (Saffron when she is naughty, or The Brown Dog)
I've got 5 cats - Andromeda (Romy), Cassiopaeia (Cassie), Gavin (female, mother of Cleo), Cleopatra (Cleo) and Mischa (Three legs and no tail, pure black - no white at all- and a little minx, but I adore her!!). The first 3 are all torties and Cleo is white and black (more white than black!). We also used to have dear little Monty, Cleo's brother, but he crossed the Rainbow Bridge last summer.
I've got 2 dogs as well, Elsa (GSD) and Jake, the most useless sheepdog in Wales!! Oh, and a wee bunny called Stan!
