Title: Need help in choosing a name
Post by: Catz on July 27, 2009, 12:35:25 PM
I've got a 6 week old kitten. He's been with us since friday and I'm having trouble picking a name for him. Any help/suggestion greatly appriciated.

As I've never had a long haired cat before (only had DSH) when should I start etting him used to the comb and brush? What sort of combs/brushes should I be using on him?

There is nothing like the present!  :wow:

As he is short haired at the mo I would just start off getting him used to brushing strokes via your hands, as his fur starts to lengthen then maybe add a soft brush etc etc!  ;)

....and when his fur gets to the length in the pic below just add a rake!  :evillaugh:

 :rofl: at the moment his kitten fur is 3/4 of an inch long with an extra 1/4 for the guard hairs. He's definately a little curly on his belly and between his back legs like Teabag. He also has long tuffs between the pads on his feet.

I need garden shears and a rake for this one!

I think he looks like his name could be Parsley. Don't know why particularly- he just looks like a Parsley to me.

Funny about the first suggested names- we used to have a Merlin (Uncle M, now on the bridge) and now we have a Monty (the Munchkin)

He's gorgeous!  :Luv:

Or if it gets as long as Joe's - be careful what you find attached to it!  :evillaugh:

 :evillaugh:  I think it'll be the case of taking the trimmers to him and making him short haired  :evillaugh: Seriously though I can't do that  :rofl:  Tempting as it is  :rofl: Guess I'll just have to get into the habit of combing him out everyday or otherday.
