[AKA_Bait]

What does it look like?

[Jack Squat]

First, "I" is capitalized, and punctuation is your friend. When reading that my inner voice sounded like it was hopped up on caffeine and sugar.

Second, how about Schrödinger?

[Haruki-kun]

Call him Khan. That way, you can get mad at him and yell out... "KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!"

[Ilena]

Or Shalkan if hes male ... :P

Second, how about Schrödinger?

Seconded... but I had been hoping to be original with this recommendation.

[Castaras]

First of all, Male or Female?

[evisiron]

Second, how about Schrödinger?

Thirdeded. :smallbiggrin:

How about Puss w/o Boots?
Unless he has boots. In which case I am lost.

[someonenonotyou]

Can you post pictures? I'd wanna see the beast before naming it.

I've always wanted to name a cat Lucifer or Dogbert.

[Linkavitch]

Fluffy. Or, if it's not fluffy, Flatty. Although I like Schrödinger and Khan also. Actually, no name it Mr. Scruffy. (Can't believe no one's suggested that yet.)

[Dirk Kris]

Name it after something you enjoy, like a musician or band.

Or something witty.

What DOES it look like?

[someonenonotyou]

Ill get a picture when i get home so you can see looks like

[rayne_dragon]

Most important rule for naming cats - all cats will adopt a personality based on their name. Cats named after something annoying or destructive will exhibit that behavior. Cats named after something nice will be the exact opposite, making their name ironic.

Examples:
A cat named Devil will act like a little devil.
A cat named Angel will act like a little devil.
If you name your cat Icarus he will jump around on everything, until he gets neutered then he will get fat and lazy.

Good luck finding a name that will result in a cat that won't drive you crazy. =P But that's the fun of having a cat, isn't it?

[Gray Jester]

I hear if you name your cat Waffles it grows to be vicious and a destroyer of worlds.

So I vote for Waffles.

[blackfox]

Waffles is only a destroyer of *me.* :smallsigh: He attacked the cord things on my hoodie today and it was a really cute lolcatworthy moment, BUT I have scratches all over my hand.

I second Schrödinger and Lucifer and vote for Trouble or Scorn. (Cookie for the reference.)

Hm.
BlackFox's List of BlackFox-Approved Cat Names
Trouble and Scorn, obviously
Dammit (My college friend has a cat named this... it just takes one less word to yell at the cat.)
Caffeine
Zonker (cat must be vaguely yellow, have a kitty goatee, and be addicted to catnip)
Hubris
Waffles, I guess
Darth or Vader or Darth Vader
I'm gonna totally rip off Sneak's hamster and say PG-13
Tribble, but only if it's one of those REALLY REALLY POOFY FUZZY FURBALL KITTENS (+3 cute points.)
Psycho (Full name: Psycho Kitty, Qu'Est-Ce Que C'Est)
Snark(y)
GLaDOS (if it's female)

[Silence]

"Toodles" FTW.

[Don Julio Anejo]

Koshka.

Also, Murzik (with a rolled R like in Tim Horton's Rroll up the Rrim to win, or like Scottish pronounce their R's).

[RandomNPC]

Schrödinger or Nyarlathotep

[de-trick]

my vote for a name if its a guy cat is rosco, tramp, prince

my vote for a name for a girl cat would be baby, muffin, aero

[Sneak]

Behemoth. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_and_Margarita)

[Lemur]

Cattack.

Or give it an overly descriptive name, based on the impression you get from it (i.e. the "Leonard of Quirm naming method"). Other languages get to do this, but not English for some reason. I ended referring to a stray cat that would show up at a work site as "Nightmare Murder Cat" under this system.

[ocato]

As a cat, it will have three names. One is a regular every day name, like Gil or Puddin'. The second is a name the cat can be proud of, something grandiose. Anastasia, Filomena, Michelangelo, Cervantes. Something like that. The third name is a secret that only the cat knows. It's the name it gives itself, it's true name. The name of cats, for cats, and known only by cats.

This is the law of cat naming.

[Grynning]

People always give cats cute names, so I'm fond of naming them something very fierce and masculine sounding, or stereotypical dog names. I knew some people with a cat named Fido, and it was very appropriate. My cat's name is Ozymandias, which doesn't sound intimidating in and of itself, but if you've read Watchmen...

T. S. Elliot ftw.

If you don't know the sex of the cat, then take it to the vet. They will be able to tell you. You should take any new pet to the vet, as it will probably need treatments for minor parasites (fleas, worms, ear-mites, etc), and they can also do innoculations against common cat-ailments.

"Waffles" is a great name.

QFT. Why...why did she name her cat Demon?!

[Kcalehc]

Kamir

(depending on your accent it may sound suspiciously like 'come here')

[blackfox]

Additions to BlackFox's List of BlackFox-Approved Cat Names
Loki

[Gray Jester]

Wow, Waffles is in the lead? *grins evilly*

More names:
Dog
Fenrir (Both for ironic value)
Hel (Saves you some time when it scratches you)
EMP (Only if it has a tendency to do stuff to electronics)
Loki (Seconded)
Mort
Rincewind

[Lyndworm]

Howabout Paul?

Zack

[Pepz]

Master of the Universe

because every cat is.

or Asparagus

[Mando Knight]

Its name must be Mr. (or Mrs.) Scruffy.

[Vorkuta]

We have 3 cats, a silver long-hair named "Portia", a black long-hair named "Mercedes" and a male siamese named "Bant Lee". We like cars and cats. And double-entendres.
