The Naming of a Cat

Sheesh, who would have thought agreeing on a name for a cat would be such a hard task!! The vet has his name as 'Biggles', his first names when we arrived were 'NoName' or 'Lumpy' (due to his hernia!) then he got called 'Frankie' but it never stuck, then 'LittleH' because he follows Heather everywhere, then we found out he was a boy, so naming after Heather wouldn't do. Various suggestions have been come up with including 'Snuggles', 'Mr Slurpy' and 'Oscar'. 'Shadow' was thrown out due to a previous house pet of the same name.

How do you name a cat? The guinea pigs were easy, but how do you name a cat? The debate continues. Let's just try a quick poll, everyone but Jim is in the lounge watching TV, let's ask if they have a favourite. Please excuse me for a moment.

10 minutes and some hard debating later...

Well, here we are, a live blogcast, and the favourite is....

Yoda!!??!!

It was decided we'd feel too daft telling people his name was Slurpy or Snuggles, we all liked the name Oscar but agreed it just doesn't fit him (thanks and sorry Jenny). Numerous other names were put forward but none really fitted and then Yoda came up and it just seemed right! The stupid thing is it does seem to work! Who would have believed?

Well, let's see if it sticks.

Here he is 'in action' anyway. Oh, and he came through his hernia op very well, but he's a bit less of a boy than before he went in as he had another 'little' op at the same time.

Yoda meditates on the Force?

His Jedi mind tricks work very well on Heather, she does anything he suggests. :-)

For a Jedi master, ain't he cute!
