In need of a name for a pet

He’s a black and white male cat.

I’d like something fandom but not obviously fandom, like Lachlan or Destiny (which I already have. But you have to know Bobby’s career to understand where Lachlan and Destiny come from)

I had thought Gideon but the French sound of it sounds horrible -> gee-day-on. Just no.

So ^^ Anything RC fandom is game 🙂

Thank you for your suggestions !

And this is the little potato kitty we are trying to name !

So up until now I like Barney, Woobie, Kaloyan, Hannibal and Damocles but I’m still looking for names this week ! I’m going to see the little potatoe on saturday afternoon and decide on feels ! 😀

I gotta say I’m not too keen on naming him after one RC character I fantasize about, like Rush or Rumplestiltskin, or Ives or anything because well.. It makes the fantasy awkward since the name won’t be the character anymore, it’s the cat now :p

Yeah I wouldn’t want to name a cat any of those things for that same reason.

Cats who can’t figure out walls [x]

PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAT TO THE VET IF YOU SEE THEM DOING THIS BEHAVIOR OVER TIME.

It’s called “head pressing” and it occurs in dogs and cats. 

Head pressing is characterized by the compulsive act of pressing the head against a wall or other object for no apparent reason. This generally indicates damage to the nervous system, which may result from a number of varying causes, including prosencephalon disease (in which the forebrain and thalamusparts of the brain are damaged), or toxic poisoning.

IMPORTANT!!

My elder cat had head pressing as one of her symptoms when she had toxoplasmosis. Many people, dogs and cats have this, and the vast majority never get sick, but when it arises as clinical disease, it usually presents as neurological problems and brain damage.

HEAD PRESSING IS A SERIOUS SYMPTOM OF BRAIN ISSUES, DON’T IGNORE IT!
