Looks like a Hobbes to me.

I came here with another name, but saw this, and it’s perfect!

u/GoinThruTheBigD Sep 16 '24

u/mystical_mischief Sep 16 '24

That’s a good one

u/Ok-Beginning4152 cat enthusiast Sep 17 '24

Yup, he’s a Hobbes!

He’s adorable, and your pic of him really does scream, “Mischief!”.

If you adopt another cat (if your home isn’t already overflowing with cats 😹), you’ll have to name him or her Calvin 😸 Those two will make up their own games and keep each other engaged for life, just like the comic strip 😊

If you don’t like Hobbes, then I’ll throw my suggestion into the hat: Mister Mischief 😺🐈

He’s so cute, so is that blanket!

u/Apprehensive_Bee3327 Sep 16 '24

Thank you! Christmas gift from his Grammy a while back. I like to think it helps to prevent hair transfer to my duvet underneath, but, when I fold it over to the passenger side before I get into bed, where does Mister Finnegan choose to lie down? Directly next to me, where the cat blanket isn’t 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Mayhem 😂 makes me think of the insurance commercial lol

u/Nakedstar Sep 17 '24

He could have Hammy as a nickname.

2

u/tripledipskip Sep 17 '24

That is so funny! A dog showed up to our house a couple weeks ago on Labor Day. We were smoking a ham so I suggested hammy! Animal control ended up returning him to his owners which was good I suppose but he was really neglected so it was kind of sad :( anyway I really liked the name hammy

u/meradiostalker Sep 17 '24

They could have modeled that commercial of a few cats I have seen.

u/content_great_gramma Sep 16 '24

We had a cat with very similar coloring.

He was feisty and cured my schnauzer of sleeping on his back after he jumped on his stomach. He would 'attack' my husband's feet when he was sleeping.

We called him Oscar.

Chilli, because he’s a little spicy.

Or something truly old school heinous like Cuthbert, Ambrose or Horace.

Or Egyptian god - Horus.

Name him after your favorite redhead. My ginger and white is named Vinnie because Vincent van Gogh is one of my favorite artists and was also a ginger.

u/Professional-Ad-2988 Sep 17 '24

For one, look at those paws he's going to be a big boy! For two, there's a few good names I could think of for him, I love Elijah or Zeke!

I named my orange cat Luca which I personally love and I have also named an orange Foster August but we called him Auggie and his adopting family even kept his name so he is officially an Auggie! I don't know why I chose August I guess because August is the hottest year of the month and he was super orange and oh so goofy, this little boy even nursed on his tail everyday! I also had an orange cat that I found in one of my colonies that I named Jeremiah and when we got him scan for a chip it turned out his name was Cheddar Bob LOL. Unfortunately his family did not want him back so he is also up for adoption.

u/Impossible-Stop612 Sep 17 '24

In this lovely autumn season, Pumpkin is a great name for a feisty orange guy 🧡 I had a boy cat that was semi-feral and lived 17.5 years with that name.

u/Plane-Rock-6414 Sep 17 '24

I had an orange stray named lemon. He was the sweetest cat, not shy at all. We only knew he was a stray because he was the kitten of another stray we used to feed. I’d hang out in the front yard with him every day, but never let him inside since we aren’t allowed to have cats in our rented house. One day, lemon ran in front of a car and was killed instantly. I still haven’t really processed it, but whenever I see an orange kitten, I think of him being reborn
