Want to help me name my rescues ? They are going really well, Mum is much better and I can pat her and pick her up, but she will jump at sudden moves - but that's a massive improvement on the hissy-spitty-scratchy kitty I had to catch in a trap 3 weeks ago. I've called her Ramblin' Rosie. The kittens, in my biased opinion, are the cutest rescues on the planet. I have to come up with some really great names to help catch people's attention so they get adopted - but I'm quite crap at naming kittens with 'normal' cat names, so help !!! Photos to inspire you : Smudged Tortie The cutest Calico Tortie girl Ginger rescue The whole rescue family Rosie herself Inspire me please - I was thinking botanical names as a reminder of where they were found ? What do you think ?

No ideas on names but gee now I want another kitten, sooo cute! I like Thunder for the smudge for some reason :-) Good luck with the rehoming.

I should add that there are 5 kittens - two photos didn't turn out so I'll update later.

That first smudged Tortie, oh my goodness the face. They're all super cute. Dangerous thread. I guessed the torties were girls and the orange was a boy, on the averages, if that's wrong I'll come back with new names: Ramblin' Rosie and Chocolate Cosmos or Black Peppermint - Chocolate Cosmos is a pretty dark-but-not-black flower I like. Posy-patch (...she's patched, I'm lame...) Clem(entine, if girl)

Can we name them "mine"? Botanical, eh? What about some Australiana like... Acacia Waratah Banksia Wattle Gumnut Kurrajong Desert Pea/Desert Rose Bottlebrush Blue Gum Myrtle Hope that helps. Those kitties are so lovely, I am very clucky for kittens at the moment. All the best.

The ginger one should be saffron.
