Hi everyone

[jezebel]

Aw, what makes you nervous around cats? Did you have a bad experience with one?

I'm sure Skip will cure you of your nervousness!

Hi

Thanks for your replies! Yeh we can't wait! I am usually really nervous around cats but I was absolutely fine with her I think it's because she looks similar to a cat I had when I was little. Skip has been her name all her life! But she is such a pretty cat that's why we don't think the name suits her because I might say "tip" by accident lol

  to purrs  Skip is gorgeous  I am another one who thinks once you get her home you will know what to call her.

Oh she's lovely - very pretty!   I bet you can't wait. 

Finding a name is hard at the best of times, but I agree that if she's had the name all her life, changing it may be a bit of a challenge, although most cats adapt (or ignore us!)

Cant wait to hear more about how you get on, and we hope you'll really enjoy the forum, showing off your beautiful new girl

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.  It really is a very friendly forum with lots of friendly helpful advice, if ever needed, and of course lots of fun.

I do feel it my public duty to warn you though that it can be a teensy bit addictive  You have been warned 

What a pretty girl  Was Skip the name the rescue gave her or her name she's had all her life? If it's the one she's had all her life I'd try for something that sounds similar - maybe Pip? If it's just a temporary name then the sky's the limit  Do you prefer human names or more catty names?

Oh boy is she gorgeous 

I agree get her home first and then a name will probable just come 

If not I am sure Purrs will come up with more than you want LOL

Hello
She's a pretty girl.
You'll easily come up with a name once you get her home. You'd think my one is mystical and named after the moon goddess when actually its short for Lunatic as she settled in as if she owned the place in about five minutes flat. Cleo is so named as she likes to roll over a lot and Tippy Tumbles didn't seem right.

So pleased you're giving a home to a puss in need. 

I suggest you have "Skip" for a week or two before changing her name - I bet several suitable names will come to mind once you get to know her.

She's absolutely gorgeous - very unusual markings

Hi everyone I am new!

Me and my husband are hopefully picking up our new cat in about a weeks time from the blue cross. She is 8 years old and really loving. We are just waiting for her to have some dental work then we can pick her up! So excited got everything ready for her

Her name is skip, we aren't keen on the name so we are trying to think of a new name. We have had a few suggestions but if anyone has any ideas it would be so helpful!

Here is a pic of her!

Please suggest some names for her!
