I'll say now I'm not the best photographer and my pictures are all thanks to an ancient HTC phone but i thought you guys might like these...
Sammy (aka. The panther) likes to come out with me in the van sometimes and get some chicken, this is him ordering his popcorn chicken from KFC
When the Sat nav fails its all about the 'Cat Nav' (i'm sorry i'll get my coat
) he was worried cause i'd told him KFC were closing early!
And finally.... MORNING!!!!

and how she normally spends her evenings
Excellent picture and excellent cat, well done for giving a rescue cat a home.
Having had to put my old boy Dufrey to sleep in December, I'm now ready to rescue a new friend.
I have been waiting 3 weeks for this little chap who was found starving and flea ridden and has been with a Cat protection fosterer who has nursed him back to health.
The owners have not come forward and I went to meet him yesterday and am picking him up on Sunday
We think he's about 5-6 months old.
Meet erm, haven't thought of a name yet,

Meet erm, haven't thought of a name yet,
We have one that looks very similar, she's called Sparky.
One of our much missed previous cats held the official name of Maxwell, but he had a good many other names such as 'Mr Pink Nose', 'that fat b
d', 'the Mog' and your cat, so it may not matter too much what name you give him, he might end up with something different.

Just pick something you are prepared to say to the vet's receptionist over the phone.One of our much missed previous cats held the official name of Maxwell, but he had a good many other names such as 'Mr Pink Nose', 'that fat b

Hi. I'd like to book Mr sttybum the 3rd, in for a checkup please.singlecoil said:

I like Elwood too... but this ^^^ is very true.One of our much missed previous cats held the official name of Maxwell, but he had a good many other names such as 'Mr Pink Nose', 'that fat b

We just call him 'the orange idiot' now... mainly because if you don't keep an eye on him whilst boiling the kettle, he sits next to the cooker swishing his tail through the flames for that lovely singed fur aroma
The Naming of Cats
TS Eliot
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

We've always gone for names that have one or two syllables that they can respond to easily, I.e. pitch and tone.
Our cat is Tinkerbelle, but for short it's tinks, winks, winky, tinkywinky, anything that rhymes including 'Oi Cat!' She knows when shes getting a warning too, if she's jumped up on the baywindow sills for instance, a sharp 'Tinks!' normally has her giving us 'meewh' response. It's common for her to sit there and have an argument with us. Lol.
