We’ve had two black with white bits type cats. The first was never really named, as we couldn’t agree on one before “the cat” became TC for short and stuck. The second is named Onyx. This one looks like \*\*Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia \*\* for some reason. ---

Niblet. Was reading another thread 'round here and someone named their cat that, and it’s a perfect cat name. Niblet. She needs to be Niblet. If she’s very energetic, perhaps Amp. But it must be one of those. ---

> [@gum](#): > > What a sweetie. > > Cleopatra? Cleo, for short? No, it must be Cleocatra! But definitely Cleo for short, or Clee, or CleeClee, or CleeFur, or Fur. (All names Mrs B has morphed out of the original Cleocatra.)
