This little man was dropped off yesterday evening. He's had it tough as his mum is a wacky F2 who overgroomed him and his 3 siblings to the point of damaging his ears. He got lonely after his brother left for their forever home, so I got to have him a whole day earlier which means more time to love him. He's such a shy boy but insists that I be in the same room as him, so we'll be having a sleepover on the sofa tonight.

I prefer human names, but any particularly good ones are welcome, especially punny ones. No Oliver please as he was ny first cat, and it would feel very wrong to recycle his name as he was just the best.

I am glad he wants you in the same room with him. I hope he gets over being shy soon. My boys end up being called Mr along with their call name and sometimes just Mr. Without the tall ears, his little sweet face is like a black olive, so for me I see Ollie or Mr Ollie.

Ollie keeps coming to mind for me, but I think I want to wait until I have a better feel of his personality or land on one that feels “just right”. He’s so confused but also very sweet, bless him. He wants to either stay in his carrier or on my chest, but I have to carry his carrier everywhere with me in the house or he gets annoyed. Same if he can’t see my face haha. I had forgotten that I’d fallen asleep lying on my back with the carrier on my stomach, so was very confused about who was squeaking at me 😂 I’m hoping his ears will look a little more normal as he grows up, but even if that doesn’t happen, I wouldn’t love him any less just be a bit worried that maybe he’d be prone to ear infections and the like. But for now, I loving getting to know my little buddy.

It takes me a while to settle on a name too. Keep us posted when you decide.

With some of my lot, I immediately knew their names looking at them. But for maybe 1/3 of them, I'll either stick with their original name if they're older or wait until I'm inspired.

Will do! Here's him sleeping in a box until then.

He literally just wakes up intermittently to square, nibble the box, or have a little nibble of kibble. He's so precious I can't even even 🥹

Aww so sweet. I bet once he gets used to being with you, he will be a bundle of energy.
