MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So my sister had a baby girl on Sunday but still hasn't given her a name. Today we bought a girl cat and have already chosen her a name. Should I text my family including my sister that we've got a cat and this is her name? Or should I text my sister and check we're not about to pick a name they might have had?
I'm tempted to do the first one as it's annoyed me that they haven't named their daughter when they've known they're having a girl for 5 months.
Are the odds of choosing the same name pretty high, then?
What's she going to call her, Tabbytha?
Doubt she'll call it Pussy either.
Phew! I was worried what this thread would be about, turns out it's load of dribble.
Is Mrs Snaggletooth a likely name for a small child?
Just send a WhatsApp or similar with a photo saying "Check out our new cat, shes called..."
Let me guess, your sister is younger than you and you don't have kids?
either that's mod led smut, talking about dribbling pussies, or Drac has got dribble and drivel mixed up.

It's genuinely not that easy.
Your cat - call it what you want.

Exactly what I want to do but Mrs swoosh says I shouldn't do that

😳 😆
What are you going to call the cat?
Really? With 5 months notice? Surely one parent just says,It's genuinely not that easy.
I like the names Jocinda Raspberrybush' and the other parent goes, 'Yeah, that's fine. We'll call it that then'
My.
Call the cat Louise and tell everyone. You will have done your niece a massive favour by scratching that one off the list of possibles...
...in 6 months you will have everyones blessing to shoot the cat.
It's annoyed you that they haven't named their daughter yet? Get a hobby or something.
Just send a picture of the cat and say you are going to name it after whatever they call the child 😆
It's unlikely that your sister will name her child Sudocrem, so I think you'll be fine.
Is this a genuine question because it seems a bit mad? The chances of you calling the cat the same thing as your niece have to be pretty slim. Call the cat Snarf or Cheetara.
And you could always change the cat name.
She's just had a baby. Is she going to give a crap what your cat is called?
"The cat with no name" would work for me.
'Given that (sisters name) seems unable to think of any girls names in light of recent events, I present (cats name) [picture of cat]'
What's the cats name?
If by some miracle you have picked the same name, your cat becomes 'The Feline Formerly Known As....'
"And in other [s]news[/s] mews
Fixed it
I think I read on a here once that when naming pets you should always bear in mind that when the vet calls you in, they use the name of the pet
So go for 'Dracula's Bride, Princess of Darkness'
So go for 'Dracula's Bride, Princess of Darkness'
Louise for short.

My wife is called Louise. 😆
...the thread just keeps on giving...
My.
TFFT !
My wife is called Louise.
😆
Call the cat 'Derek', its highly unlikely they will end up with the same name.
Call it Placenta.
Guaranteed to steal her thunder.
My wife is called Louise
Commiserations.

yes, he got a wife. Still, they have thier uses...
damm , my wife is called Louise too . we dont have a cat though .
Oddest thread ever.
If I gave you 50 attempts I reckon you would struggle to guess the new sprog's name. And most of them would make rubbish names for a cat. Apart from Louise, obvs.

Spook?
Choo-choo?
Fancy?
Brain?
Benny the Ball?
just name the cat and be done with it
why do you have to present your cat to your family anyway? just tell people what the cat's name is when they are round your house
I am lost for words
Edit: or names
Daddy, why exactly is our cat called Louise? You've never explained it.....
Rumpelstiltskin
Of course it should be called Loiuse now without a doubt.
Although i admit im not entirely sure whether im talking about the cat or the daughter.
Rumpelstiltskin
Call it 'Fancy Bear'...the cat who spies on your inner most secrets. Wouldn't creep you out at all.
Jim is a good name for a cat but a rubbish one for a little girl.
Call it Jim.
or Fancy Bear.
Dave.
Both of them.
I've asked my sister if the name we want to give the cat is on her short list and it is so for all those who thought it impossible to pick the same name 😛
PS if it was a boy cat it was always going to be called Sue. Big Johnny Cash fan here
Why on earth won't you tell us the name?
first world problem.
I called my cat Megatron. Do the same and you're unlikely to have a problem.
Also makes me giggle every time i take her to the vet.
Pick a different name for your cat then. I can recommend Wilikins, which is our cat's name. Causes amusement at the vets and mr pea can't bring himself to shout it when he's calling her in at night 😀
What's the odds of your sister calling her daughter Strangle or Swing?
Here's a picture to illustrate my point:
There's two points there...

Admit it, you were slightly disappointed... 🙂
"Seven" as a Baby's Name
I used to know a lad whose middle name was Seven. His mother's reasoning was that one day we'd all be numbers.
My wife is called Louise.
As is mine.
You have the same wife? Scary.
Jeebus, two pages and no one has thought to ask the cat how it feels about this
It should be safe enough to call the cat Theresa by now or Dianne (in the Dead ringers voice of Andrew Neil)
Both should be called Theresa or May surely? Soon every new born will have to be by order anyway
My niece was asked to think of a name for their new cat.
'Susan'
'But what if it's a boy cat?'
[Slight pause]
'Boy Susan!'
In light of that, think of a name for a boy cat, then add a 'girl' prefix. Sorted.
Edit: or 'chairman miaow', cos I wasn't allowed to call our cat that 🙁
Fancy Bear or Chairman Meow have my vote.
I've asked my sister if the name we want to give the cat is on her short list and it is
Is it Louise ,Rhianna or Theresa?

No, that's the new Sugababes line up

Terrible idea
Just call it Get Down. That's what you'll be shouting at it most of the time anyway.
Reminds me of this tale from mumsnet

PetsTerrible idea
Have we a decision yet?
I can't sleep for the worry.

Call it Andboogie
Call it Placenta.
Guaranteed to steal her thunder.
If that's the intention you should name it Thor.
Come on now, what's its name?
I don't care if child or cat, I just need a name.
