I will get in about a month 2 baby boy kitten. They are brothers. But I don't really know how to name them. I've already thought about "Fluffly" or "Lucky" or "Sparky". Xcuse me for my bad english but I'm French and I'm looking for 2 cute names for my kittens. It would be great if the end of their name is in "y". Thanks a lot for your help.

Usually, names come naturally. Perhaps take the first day or two getting to know them and play with them, and perhaps the name'll come naturally to you.

Are their any distinctive features that stand out on the two kittens? Such as strips, one spot on the head, one ear bigger than the other etc?

Do they walk funny, or meow softly?

You can name them based on their physical and personal traits.

Or you can name then after your favorite celebrity, color, food etc.

There is all sorts of name out there! I'm sure that whatever youy pick, the name will fit with the kittens perfectly!

There are a lot of resources on the internet with great cat names. I also have two cats... both black.

Mine came at different times so they are not named the same, I have a shadow and a Lucky.

If you want them similar try something like Andy and Dandy.

Here are some good sites that will give you ideas:

Male Kitten Names / Boy Kitten Names (http://www.kittennames.net/male-kitten-names.html)
(this one has twin kitten names and French kitten names)

Good luck to you... let us know what you decide.

Here are some pictures of my kittens. One is light grey with stripes and his head is light brown. He seems to have some black lipstick. The other one is dark grey with stripes and he has a spot under his moustaches.
Of course when I'll find the right names I'll tell you.

Tiggy sounds like a pretty good name for the one that doesn't have black around the lips.

Tiggy, that's a very good idea ! I like this idea. Thank you. My friend who will give me this 2 kittens has just told me that the one with the blak lips mews very lowd and that he climbs upon her legs when he is hungry. It is funny, I think.

Smokey, Frisky, Foxy, Ricky, Bobby,
Holy... my neighbor has a cat named Holy Smoke... he is grey and was named that in hopes that he would not be so ornery.
When I was young we had a cat named Squirmey... he was always trying to squirm away from us.

You're welcome!

I always have loved naming my pets exotic names. If one of the kittens is female maybe you can name her 'Ruby' or 'Desiriah'

The one with the black on his mouth just looks like a scrappy. Kitty with a little black scrap piece on his face. Wonder if he will be a fighter?

I have a sister in law that has a cat named Chewy because he liked to chew on things.

Very cute kittens.

Heh. When I saw the one with the darker fur, I immediately thought of 'Geo' which sounds like a really bad name for a cat... but I don't know. It popped into my head.

I like Chewy, too... it's like a tribute to star wars.

I like the Tiggy suggestion, that's a cute name. How about Scampy?

They are just adorable, I wish my hubby and son weren't allergice to cats, I miss having cats. Congrats on the new additions. :)

I love cats but I'm allergic to them too! That wouldn't stop me from having one though :)

Lucky to me and my family, none of us are allergic to animals. We already have at home a dog and tropical fishes. We have already had 2 cats (one for me and the other for my sister) but they both disappeared and we are very sad. So we'll take these 2 smart kittens. I hope that they'll stay a long long time with us.

Emeline spaying and neutering before they reach sexual maturity will keep them closer to home.

Excuse me but what does "neutering" means ?

Feline Neutering ~ Pawprints and Purrs, Inc. (http://www.sniksnak.com/cathealth/neutering.html)

The article above will give you details as well as the health benefits of having it done.
I have had many animals spayed and neutered. They may be a little sore for a few days.
It really helps to extend their life and make it a more peacful one.

Emeline,

Neutering means fixing the kitty surgically so it cannot have babies. It keeps the males from spraying in your house and from straying off.

It also keeps down the unwanted kitten population.

I have two black kitties and after losing a couple at different times I not only have them fixed, but I had their front claws removed so they cannot jump over the fence and get into the traffic. They mostly are in the house anyway, but like to go out in the yard sometimes.

It does not hurt the kitty much and is a responsible act for the pet owner.

Emeline, I do not advocate having their claws removed. While some cats tolerate it well, some cats have severe mental or physical anguish from having it done. I have known cats that have suffered from damaged nerves in their front paws, making them so sensitive that they will not walk on concrete or bare floors.

I have also seen peoples living situations change and that once indoor kitty becomes an outdoor kitty that now has only its back claws to defend itself with. Not really a good defense when fighting something with all of its claws. Not to mention it makes it virtually defenseless when fighting off something other than a cat.

Removing front claws is not for everyone, but for city dwellers it is an option.

My kitties suffered no ill effects and were up and about in a couple of days. They spend the weekends at our mountain cabin and do not have problems catching mice and birds without their front claws.

My motive was even larger as my grandaughter loves the kitties but has spina bifida and does not feel her legs. If she gets scratches it takes weeks to heal as there is no blood flow to that part of the body so since she is at my house a lot I did not want the kitties to scratch her with their front claws. They never do scratch with their back claws.

They are bathed once a month and have regular visits to the Vet to be checked out and have flea and tick treatments. Believe me these cats are big healthy cats.

I saved both of them from a farm and Lucky was only 1.4 pounds when I got her, now she weights over 9 pounds and is 3 years old. The Vet didn't think she would live, but she is very playful and healthy now.

Just depends on your life style and circumstances.

I think I will neutering them but I'll never ask the vett to remove their claws. I don't like this idea at all.

I think that I'll name the cat that seems to have a black lipstick : "Lucky" and the other one "Tiggy".

I name them Tiggy (the darker one) and Lucky (the one with the black lipstick).

I brang them back home on May, 24th. They were healthy, happy, full of life.

Unfortunately, Lucky got stranggled on June, 6th and died. I'm so sad. His brother goes well but feels lonely.
