I already have names picked for the kitties, I’ve never named my cats. They came with names, and they seemed to suit the cat’s personality.
I am hoping I can name a cat in my lifetime. Although I may end up getting an older cat this time around. My shelter has a plethora of older, (10 plus years) cats that truly need homes, because their owners have died, or were put into nursing homes.
I haven’t named a cat since I was teenager: they’ve all been hand-me-downs. Agnes, Wednesday, Shannon, and Jake.
We get to name the gerbils and reptiles, though.
