An orange Tom cat you say? What about Pumpkin? Or maybe Autumn?

Oh, and, Megs, don’t feel too bad about the cat’s behavior towards you. Cats tend to be very, VERY particular about who they show love to. Even to the point where they can be considered as pompous and aloof little furballs. Not all do that, of course, but many do.

Pumpkin or Autumn... both are good names. I think I'll go with Pumpkin, like pumpkin spice. It smells so good – and so does my little kitty. I think he smells a little like cinnamon.

Do all cats smell sweet 'n' spicy?

Oh. So the problem is not with me personally, then.

What do you mean?

I thought maybe Pumpkin could sense how many sparks I had snuffed out. Directly and indirectly.

I don't think that's possible.

Even if it was, I'm sure Pumpkin can tell you've changed a lot since then.

This one family that goes to my school names all their pets after rappers, and it's just really odd to overhear a conversation like "Tupac usually only cuddles with Alex, but last night he slept in my bed."

You named a cat Goose? Do you have a goose named Cat as well?

If I had a goose as a pet, I might. It would depend on if the goose responded to that name. That’s how I name my pets. When they join the family, they get a barrage of names thrown at them to see what they respond to. The one that gets the best response is the one that sticks. 

So Goose was named Amber by the rescue organization who had him but he didn’t respond to it. I went through a bunch of names with the two leading candidates ending up as Goose or Jareth.

We got a Goose.

Allura was Tina at the shelter. And Allura was found VERY quickly. She chirruped at it and came when called (she still comes when I call her name) so it stuck.

Peeta was Jacob at the shelter. And he didn’t respond to it. The leading candidates at the end were Peeta and Lucius (as in Lucius Malfoy) and well...

London was also Jacob (or Freckles I can’t remember it was three years ago) at the breeder. He almost was Leighton or Nicanor. But we settled on London.

This throw the name at the pet has been the norm with all of my pets since I moved out of my parents house and they stopped having a say in what I called them.

FOR: I'm reform, but opinions from all denominations are welcome. Can I name my cat a Hebrew name? Or is it forbidden to name animals by human names, would it be disrespectful to the people with that name?

(I feel bad for using the flash, but I wanted to show off the blue shimmer in his tail and fins, I’m sorry little dude!)

Can I get some name suggestions? I’ve had him for about three weeks, sharing a divided tank with Khaleesi who just wants to fight him all the time. He’s finally getting his own tank this week so I figured he should have a name too, it’s been long enough you know?

Well, if you’re going to keep the cat, he’ll/she’ll need a name. Any ideas?

Hot Rod? What are you naming the furry little butterfly maimer and bird killer?

Murder Incarnate!

No. Anyway, Hot Rod should name the little psychopath.

He's cute!

He cannot look in my direction without hissing and spitting like a feral beastie!

No different to Starscream. Don't look like that – it was a joke.

It's not funny. OK, how about Garfield, seeing as it's an orange tom cat?

Garfield's a horrible, lazy thing. I might call him Sunny or something...
