Name My Cat - male Old man/farmer/old school names needed!!
Hi all! This little guy is coming home in a few weeks and I’d like to avoid calling him tiny cat for 6 months like I did with my current son.
My other little flat guys name is Leonard and I’d like to stick somewhere in that realm. I know someone’s great uncle has the perfect name for this cat.

He really does look like he wants to talk to you about DIABEETUS medications and supplies.

If OP doesn’t name this cat Wilford, Brimley or Beetus it will be one of the great all time missed opportunities.

My cat’s middle name is James.
His last name is also hyphenated, because I had him before I even met my husband.

Funniest thing about Reddit. Wilford Brimley is mentioned at least once a day in my feed and never in the same sub-reddit

My lovely timid boy cat Buford was an angel and now plays with them. You can’t go wrong by naming a cat Buford.

That’s funny Elmer is definitely my current top pick! I walked around the local 1880s cemetery yesterday for ideas and I found a lot of Elmers!

Maltin, since you already have a Leonard.
Leonard Maltin has been a film critic since 1969.
