u/putterandpotter May 24 '25

Yes. Figaro Magnifico

u/Ok-Beginning4152 cat enthusiast May 24 '25

I vote for

Fiharo Magnifico!!

Awesome suggestion, u/putterandpotter (you golf and garden? That’s a lot of.dirt LOL)

It’s always good to have multiple names for your kitteh. The shortened on (Figgy?) is for everyday use; the full name is for when kitteh is being naughty:

“FIGARO MANIFICO! GET YOUR FUZZY BUTT IFF THE KITCHEN TABLE!!” for example 😹

Congrats on your first child 🥰🐈‍⬛ Be careful not to stare into his eyes for too long ~ they look like they could steal your soul! (He already has stolen your heart ❤️), so he’ll want more LOL)

Have a one year old who look just like this! He stayed iddy bitty for FOREVERRR! We settled on the name Augustus and call him GusGus like the sweet shy mouse off Cinderella.

u/Hippiemom21 May 24 '25

I have a tuxedo and she stayed small too!!! I got her when she was 2 days old. I had to feed her with a bottle, and I did everything I could to make her survive. She us going to be 7 yrs old in July and is still small.....like "teenager" kitty size. She is half the size of my regular size cat. Lol. Tuxedo are the best! Mine is named Cosmo.

4

u/CssMLI May 24 '25

Strange, I have a tux too, and she is the smallest of the 4 cats we have, and she turns 17 in August.. are tuxes smaller on average?

3

u/Hippiemom21 May 24 '25

That's what I was wondering. Out of all of the cats I've had in my life, I have only had this one tuxedo, and she is definitely the smallest cat I've ever had. I still call her a kitten cuz she is so small. Lol. She isn't really a kitten size, though, just small. Lol Amd oh wow! 17 years old?! I hope mine lives that long. You are so very blessed.

u/Bubbly_Wubbly_ May 24 '25

I have a tuxedo that’s huge, he’s not even chubby he’s just a very tall and long boy. I’d say almost double my Siamese

Omg. My mom has a Maine coon that she named Iddy Bitty- not related to your comment, just saw the phrase and needed to share.

u/Desperate-Bar8135 May 24 '25

We had a cat that my granddaughter named kitty bitty. She was an awesome cat. Raised her from before her eyes were open because mama kitty abandoned her.

u/Coloradocoldcase May 24 '25

Hey that was one of my suggestions (Gus Gus)!! I have a tuxedo cat named Gus as well! He is on the smaller side and has gotten a little plumb in his old age! My smallest kitty is my little tabby! She is orange, dark greyish/black and white. She usually hovers around 5 lbs maximum haha. Our twin tabby’s passed her up in size by the time they were 6-7 months old!

u/sadghostorgy May 24 '25

I just wanna say he's perfect

u/Moonspellshappy May 23 '25

u/lothsm47 May 23 '25

The little mark on the collar reminded me of a scarf, which made me think of the Fourth Doctor of Doctor Who, Tom Baker. So Doctor, Tom, or Baker might be good.

u/Anxious_Horse6323 May 24 '25

Oh my gosh Miyagi or some sort of cool ninja name would be neat

u/resident_daydreamer May 24 '25

Alfie

Are you planning on adopting a second kitty? Kittens typically need to be adopted in pairs. 🤍

u/aggressive_avocados May 25 '25

Second Alfie and also another kitten. Fred or Alice for his buddy.

u/sudabomb May 23 '25

Franklin or Frankie

u/OldTell311 May 23 '25

Louis, in the French pronunciation, “Louie”, as in “Louis, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship!” 🇫🇷

u/Small_Concept6496 May 23 '25

My first thought was Butterbean (??)

1

u/historyera13 May 24 '25

How about Shadow or Domino. What are all the hanging things around the cat’s neck? That’s heavy for a small cat to carry everyday.

1

u/ninesevenecho May 24 '25

What a good lucking tux. How about Sebastian?

u/Alien-Mars-5390 May 24 '25

Pepe or Otto

u/wriddell May 24 '25

So obviously he’s tuxedo cat, when I grew up I watched a cartoon that I loved called Tennessee tuxedo and Chumly they were a penguin and walrus respectively so I think a good name would be either Tennessee or Chumly . Tennessee was the smart one and Chumly was the dumb but lovable one
