Ahhh. Ok. This all makes sense now. Thanks Pie and HM.

See, for me, when I heard the word 'spook' for a black dog, i thought becaue he's a dark furred animal and might move through night like a spook/ghost. But then I thought....oh!...if earlier generations of racsts weren't seeing black people as entirely human, would they have made that same kind of association for black people?

But clearly...it's got fuck all to do with that :P

Really? Miss Fuzzbutt is unusual? I think every cat I've ever owned has been called that at some point. Usually when they've parked said fuzzbutt on my keyboard.

Picture the scene.

Car stuck in London traffic with daddie and step-mum (me) in the front and dreadfully fractious bad temepered three year old in the back. I let him know that we really are having two kittens arrive any day now and (sucking up) I ask what he would like to name his kitten, made of black fluff and feathery down and huge greeny eyes.

"Nuffink"!! shitty stepson yells with a roar and kicking attack on the back of my seat. "Oh come on darling" I coo insincerely, you must be able to think of a name.

"NUFFINK"!! he roars and throws a classic three year old tantrum.

Nuffink she became, known to close family as Nuff-nuff, and her sister was Lilly, being all white. Shitty three year old graduated with honours in Maths and Computer Sciences a year ago, Nuffink just celebrated her 20th birthday and as truly bonkers as ever.

sorry about Harry

after my cat died and I got a black cat too and I named her gizmo because as a she was so small.
( still is ) she reminded me of a little...toy but after learning her personality after a week or two I changed it to zoie. She is a little princess. ( still is )

I guess what I am saying is to maybe wait to see their personality. Oh and the name gizmo is free to use.

Candy Corn (CC for short) is available for adoption. She's a lovely calico and we adore her, she just doesn't get on well with the existing cat population. You could rename her.
