He looks like one tough little hombre. How about “Bruiser”? ---

So many replies! See, _this_ is what happens when I sleep :: grumble :: stupid sleep, being all necessary and such. A pox upon sleep! That’s what I say! :: grumble :: I should note that I am trying to stay away from the more typical cat names (things like Ginger or Max or Fluffy). If we can’t do funny, I think I like names like Augustus (that one is good, except it tends to remind me of Willy Wonka more than Rome). Some neat historical names, perhaps? **Snickers** - I actually like Niblet, but he just doesn’t seem like a Niblet. He’s rather. . . not dignified, per se. Well, he just seems older than he is (aside from the scampering and constant meowing for attention and playing with the air). **Shirley Ujest** Oh yeah? YEAH? What are you gunna do about it, copper?

Kipke. He looks like a Kipke. (Okay, he looks exactly like a Kipke I already know - my in-laws’ cat - but it’s a killer name for a cat.) You may want to hide for a while, **Diosa** , because after I show my husband these pics tonight, we’re going to go out and get another kitten for our zoo. And he will want to find you and blame you because I have been wanting another kitten for a year, and it will be all your fault that he caved. (Please post some more pictures.) E. ---

**Jeeves** might fit him. What’s his meow like? What does he play like? Does he always have his tail straight up like that? For some reason **Marmelade** came to mind or **Paddington** (because Paddington Bear was so fond of Marmelade). What about **Leo** , **[Flann](http://www.weddingvendors.com/baby-names/meaning/flann)**, or **Magnificat**? [Here](http://www.bowwow.com.au/search/index.asp) is a pet name search site, maybe something there will catch your eye? ---
