Hi I am new here and I need help with a name for my beautiful new furbaby it’s a male 10 week old ginger colored kitten he’s very playful and extremely sweet but I’m leaning towards a few names I like Pharoh I also like Copper and
Kringer (from He-Man ) I would love some ideas if anyone has any Thankyou
Copper sounds awesome! If u read Warriors by Erin Hunter, u would 100% think of FireStar!!! you could also call it fire.
Maybe ferries !
I have a kitten (who has six toes at the front and five toes at the back ) who showed up sleeping on our car engine. So I get to keep it. My mum said we could call it lemur because it had strips on its tail. I thought Leo or Leopard because of his spots on his tummy. WHAT SHOULD I CALL HIM?
Leo is so OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that Colby is the best male orange cat name!!!
I think fluffy or meow meow ( pronounced mow mow)
Skimbleshanks is a good orange cat name if you love musicals. 😀
I worked at a bed-and-breakfast in Switzerland and the owner named all of her animals after food. Like her cute black and white Portuguese water dog was named Toblerone and her orange kitty cat was named Cornflakes. We are getting an orange maine coon / Ragdoll mix kitten and my son wants to name him muffins but my husband thinks that’s too emasculating LOL. I love the name Aslan from CS Lewis’ The Lion the witch and the wardrobe but none of my family get it. So then I’m thinking Aspen because we all love Colorado Although aspen trees turn golden yellow and not orange…We promised my son he could name him. He threw out the idea of pumpkin before going to school this morning. I’m going to offer Cornflakes when he gets home to see what he thinks about that. Frosted Flakes maybe? But we don’t want the kitty to think he’s an airhead LOL
I’m getting one soon and I’m calling him caramel 😀
He’s an orange tabby cat.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen Honeysuckle on any orange cat name lists. I have an orange and white female by that name.
