My rule of thumb is to imagine yourself with your precious pet at the vet’s office. Imagine a technician calling you to the exam room by yelling your pet’s name over the crowded lobby. If you’re OK with that name being yelled across a crowded lobby, then go for it.
I vote other, though I don’t have a suggestion without a photo.
I’ve always held to the principle that there’s no point in giving a name to anything that isn’t going to respond to it. Which is why all of that cats I’ve had have been named “the cat”.
I LOL’d.
The poll results aren’t binding. Frankly, the Mrs. will spend most of the time with the cat regardless, so she gets the final decision.
I plan to call him Wowbagger in my head though.
He looks like a Wowbagger.
Wowbagging holds no particular context for me beyond insulting people in an orderly, serial fashion.
I’ve never known a cat named “Other,” so I voted for it. It’s got the right hint of aloofness.
Just saw the photo. Sweet cat!
Silly fish. Shouldn’t have tried to walk through walls.
definately a wowbagger, but yeah, wowbagger the immortal is, I think, more appropriate judging by the pic
which is pretty much what happened - he approached the intake tube a bit too closely and was sucked into the pump. I blame myself. I should have realized that he was, yes - that small! nevertheless…
On seeing the new cat’s pic, I can only see him now as ‘Bubba’. He is clearly a ‘Bubba’.
(Yah, I once had a big orange cat named ‘Bubba’ and he was so very, very cool!)
I voted other; that cat is clearly named Morris.
I’d call him Buddha. He has this look of beatific bliss.

After seeing the expression on his face, I gotta vote Genghis.
He’s very handsome, and rather smug. I love me some orange kitties!
…I don’t wanna know what happens if she gets the fire kitty staff.
I don’t like any of them. I shall write in a vote for Underfoot.
Sounds like something some douchebag shaman in wolf-form does on your corpse while griefing you…
(No, I have no bitter memories, why do you ask!)
What a lovely cat, Doc! But he looks way too peaceful and happy to be a Genghis Anything. I suggest you get to know him better before hanging a name on him. One will develop. Have a happy cat!
Seconded!
(but I’d voted Wowbagger in the poll before seeing the pic)
