Orson, my new adoptee

Okay, so he was called that by the shelter and I'm looking for a new name for him. I like food names and since my other cat is named Tofu, I'd like to stick to the trend. If any of you have name suggestions, please share.

I adopted him two days ago from my local SPCA and so he is still in quarantine in my bathroom. He was abandoned and found living under a shed. Despite all that, he is super friendly and best of all, loves cuddles and is a lap kitty (even though he is too big to comfortably fit on laps!). Hard to believe anyone could abandon a friendly guy like him.

He is a BIG kitty and has a very cobby body and a rounded stubby tail (think British Shorthair style). Very docile and easygoing, didn't even flinch when he saw my dog. He was sleeping all relaxed when I started blowdrying my hair half a meter away from him and all he did was look up for a few seconds, and then went back to sleep all sprawled out. He drops and rolls on his back as soon as he thinks attention is coming his way. We are absolutely in love with him already!

Enough with the rambling. Onto the pictures.

WOW, WOW WOW WOW WOW
What a beautiful boy! Yes, I can totally see BSH mix in him...
As far as name..... Marshmallow, Whipped Cream, Coconut, Milky...

He is beautiful
No idea on the names

The name Panko popped into my head. Japanese bread crumbs. They are white. Goes with Tofu.

He is just gorgeous I mean wow!!! I'd like to kick the person who abandoned him right in the ........... Grrrrrr!!

The sweetness just oozes out of him. It's on his face.

He is so adorable, I love his big eyes!

He is one of the prettiest cats I have ever seen.

My goodness!! No wonder you're in love already!!!

hmmm, I'm trying to think of things that are white and healthy and the first thing that pooped into my head was Feta

What a gorgeous kitty! I submit Tempeh (since he's Tofu's brother ) and Nori (for the green eyes) to the potential name list.

Beautiful boy! Here's a link to some ideas for white cat names:

Ooo! Love those choices!!! Nori is the seaweed used in sushi, right? I already know what Tempeh is!

Oh he's so handsome!!! Glad he's settling in so well, .

What a beautiful boy - and so smart to realize he's got a loving home already! And Tofu is gorgeous too - you really lucked out in the looks department, didn't you?

No name ideas, but he's absolutely gorgeous!

How about "Wonder," as in Wonder White Bread?

It IS amazing the cats that are found as strays. I'm not sure most of them are abandoned. I think many manage to escape, and the owners don't look for them hard enough, and being formerly indoor cats, they just don't find their way home.

In my mind, not looking hard enough is abandoning. At our shelter we keep lost and found records and search through the lost cat records to see if incomings match, they rarely do

Oh....my...... Absolutely positively utterly gorgeous!!!

If he goes missing, I don't know who stole him.

Oh, is Orson cute or what?! Congrats on the adoption! I've always wanted an all white kitty. He's just so adorable! And, his personality sounds like it's perfect as well. All I can really say, without going on and on is, aww...

Here is my list of possible names (all food related):

Angus
Alfredo
Asiago
Bean
Barley
Babka
Couscous ( )
Cobb (As in the salad, but also because of his body type.)
Chowder
Dill
Durian (It's a stinky fruit .)
Eggnog
Eggroll
Falafel
Gravy
Goulash
Hummus
Jujube (You know, the candy.)
Kale
Kohlrabi
Lentil
Linguine
Miso
Mushu
Moussaka
Noodle
Orzo (Not that far from Orson and is kinda cute.)
Pesto
Pita
Portabello
Polenta
Quiche
Quinoa
Ratatouille ( )
Ramen
Sake (Like the drink.)
Sushi
Sesame
Sashimi
Tapioca
Tahini
Vanilla
Vindaloo (Vinny for short!)
Walnut
Wonton
Yogurt

That was fun . Enjoy your new boy and keep posting pics. Also, be sure to let us know what his new name will be! Good luck!

Aaahhhhh!! Stop! You're making me HUNGRY!!!

BTW - and someone can correct me if i am wrong, but Shiro, is one of the words for "white" in japanese. Kumo means cloud.
