Hi I'm new here and I thought I would start off getting to know everyone by asking for some help naming my new kitty I found yesterday. The poor little man was under our wood shed and crying his little heart out. We trapped him quite easily and brought him indoors. His eyes had a lot of puss on them so I used some warm compresses on his eyes to give him some relief. We went to the vet this morning. She feels he is between 6 - 8 weeks old, gave him some eye drops which I have to administer twice a day for a couple of weeks. In a couple of weeks we will go back to the vet for a recheck and at that point she will give him his first needle. She wants me to keep him quarantined from my older cat for the two weeks to ensure that he isn't more ill than we see at this point.

Anyway, the little fella is quite sweet, very small and needs a name! The vet feels he was probably dumped since he is quite friendly. He is all black and the receptionist made a comment about how ironic it was that I found a black cat right around Halloween. I thought that a name having to do with Halloween might be appropriate but I also like the name Coal since he is all black.

Any ideas for names would be appreciated.

Ahh poor lil guy... hope he feels better soon! I too agree with keeping him away from your other cat/s.. When I adopted my 2nd cat she gave the cat I already had a bad bug.... no need to add more issues....

anyways I like the name coal too very cute.. If you want something more seasonal..... maybe Midnight,or pumpkin, or Jack short for jackolantern,
Salem like Salem off of Sabrina.....

whatever name you choose I am sure it will be perfect!

I live in the No. Va area near DC.
Well, I have a black cat
I got at / around Halloween
too, many years now - 14 going on 15!!
From a pet
store and because it WAS Halloween and I was
scared about what would happen to him... (I'm a softie).

I called him Admiral Diablo - because he was a bossy
little scamp, but very disciplined about getting what HE
wanted, LOL!! And Diablo cause he's black!!


He has lived up to the name, too! Quite a little devil/mischief
maker!!
(But I wound up calling him Didi for short!)

What about Djin (like in Aladin) or something celtic like Samahain (since
(is Irish Gaelic for the month of November. Samhuin is Scottish Gaelic for All Hallows, NOV-1. )

Or Leopold (for leopard!) or Panther?

Or Jet. or Onyx? Or perhaps Mojo? for that special "magic" cat?

Or what about plain old "majik" ?


Good luck and have fun finding the "right" name for him!!

I have two black cats, both girlies, named Cushie and Marnie. They are both rescues.

For your boy, here are my name suggestions:

Jet
Onyx
Octavian (for October)
Hallo (cheery sort of name!)
Mischief

Give him cuddles from me. And bless you for taking him in.

Lucky was the first name that came to my mind too.

Thank you for saving this dear little kitty.

Wow wonderful names!! I loved Majik! and Jet!! and Onyx!!! OMG this is going to be a hard choice with all the wonderful names everyone has come up with!

I think I might have to put all the names in a hat and on Halloween night we pick the name out of the hat!!!

thats a cute idea! Or write them on little pieces of paper and tie them up with string and dangle them all at once in front of the cat and which ever one he claws down first wins...

How 'bout Spooky? Then he'd have his own song! Or Shadow, or maybe... BOO!

I love Bren's idea about letting him choose his own name by dangling them on strings! Brilliant!
