Name for black and white hang around, half grown male kitty I am taking
in tomorrow to have fixed. I had a mommy cat and her kittens take up residence under my porch. I got owners for 2 of the kittens. I had the mom fixed and now have captured the last kitten and am taking him in to have neutered tomorrow morning. I think it is really bad Karma to go into surgery without a name so I am looking for suggestions.

see how he responds.

9. He went back downstairs. I am hollering all these names at him and so
far he is not responding. Maybe he is just against this surgery.

18. Nothing seems to be working, but I think you have a future in the
naming business. It has gone from noisy meows to quiet. Maybe I should see what he is up to downstairs.

16. I used to feed a black and white male stray, who was quite the prowler.
I called him Cop Car because he was black and white and he patrolled the neighborhood.

Okay, he's back. I have a feeling this is going to be a long night.

23. Not calling him Damncat, at least not as an official name. He really is
a cute little guy but he has a mighty meow. No sleep for me tonight, I fear. I heard all this noise in my bathroom and found him attacking my shampoo. He is definitely not used to being indoors.

I will give it a try. Called several times and no response. Guess he is hiding and we all understand why.

34. It comes from the '40s
Ishkabibble was a fictional name for a member of the Kay Keyser swing band. The character appeared in several movies that featured the Kay's College Of Musical Knowledge, and I believe he made some solo appearances elsewhere.

Yowza, yowza!

I believe it's also a yiddish word, but I'm not certain of its meaning.

40. Grant
Seems appropriate to name a tuxedo cat after the best tuxedo wearer ever, Carey Grant. Besides Grant is strong no-nonsense boy's name and he'll need the extra self-esteem after his procedure tomorrow.

And yes, I treat my own cats like little people too. :)

See, I should really check profiles before posting, but you did give me a good laugh.

Regardless of the name you choose, be sure to give him an extra pat and cuddle from this Northerner tomorrow. :)

41. If he was gay, you could name him Dale
Don't laugh. I had a gay cat for a while. (He had a malformed heart and died at the age of three.) I know he was gay because he'd walk past a cat in heat without even a second glance, but he'd sodomize a tomcat in a second. He raped both of his brothers, his nephew, Kenny and the Titty Boy.

If that ain't gay, I don't know what is.

52. My kitty is black and white...his name is Tim
He started out as Tiny Tim (he showed up in the backyard, runt of the litter, when "A Christmas Carol" was on TV), but he got big enough that the "Tiny" didn't make sense anymore.

We also had another B & W cat when I was growing up; he was called Tigger.

And, where I'm living now, there's a neighborhood tuxedo cat whose owners call her Sandy, but we call Soulpatch because she's got a little black patch of fur on her white chin. :-)

54. fave names
Some of my favorite kitty names are:
Merlin, Puss-cakes, Harvey, Dakota, and Sheer Chaos.
However, if you tell us a little bit more about your cat, appearance-wise and personality-wise, maybe we could be more helpful. Does he have a milk mustache or are any of his paws white? anyway, whatever you name him, I'm sure he's gonna be a really happy little fella.

Cheers!:bounce:

That would be a great cat name. (Seeing as how jazz musicians call themselves "cats")

Or maybe Cab, for Cab Calloway?
