Gray, warm, soft and clingy:
Lint.
Muffle.

I don’t have any names to offer, either – I’m with **anyrose** , he’ll reveal his name to you soon – but he’s such a gorgeous boy! I’m so glad you’ve adopted him, you and **Wile E** have both earned major karma points!

God, he’s a gorgeous cat!
I second that one. He most definitely looks like a Muffle. What an adorable name.
I also think he has big ears, like HUGE ears, like Yoda. Yoda?
Hope you have many happy years with your kitty!
Mars 🙂

You know, I think I agree with **LOUNE.** He looks like a Barry or maybe a Hector.
He looks especially cute among the shoes. “Hmm, look at these things the human puts on her back feet. Wonder if they are friend or foe?” We had a cat named Winston, who, when he was a kitten and still small enough, would get inside my dad’s sneakers. I dunno what the attraction was–they were way stinky. Not that I’m saying your shoes are stinky, of course.

The first name that came to mind when I saw the pic was Oscar. Do you have a favorite theme we could run with?

Huh. What leaped to my mind right away was Roscoe.
Oh, and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He looks so elegant and dignified, even when he’s playing.
So I say his name is Montgomery.
Partly because I think it fits, and partly because it would be hilarious to have a cat named Montgomery.

One of ours used to sleep with her head stuffed into a shoe. Bonus if it was a visitor’s shoe.

From you picture list, I kind of liked Watchful.
Very nice cat, whatever you end up naming him.

He looks like a Mortie to me.

Agreeing with someone that’s like a kitten trying to be all tough, huh?

Bagheera is a good name for a cat. It’s the name of the good cat from the Jungle Book, the responsible one. Plus, you can call him Baggie.

I liked the Jimmy Choo idea. If he’s that fond of shoes, it would be apt.
