Currently called Pumbaa but I think he will be far too elegant for that when he's full grown! His siblings are all silver tabbies and I was very tempted by them too!
Oops forgot to say: he is a semi-longhaired british blue, about 8 weeks old and he will be mine in 5 weeks. 8) 8)

Wow! What a stunner! little fluffy ball of cuteness!
-
Oh no.........I am in love :)
-
Awwwww amazing!
I live fluffy kittens, infact all kittens and cats!
-
Aww, (http://209.85.48.8/html/emoticons/wub.gif) I want one. (I've been trying to resist the temptation to visit the dog & cat home for weeks. ;) )
He really is gorgeous.
-
Am so jealous, really want a cat again :'(
-
Gorgeous :) :) :)
-
aawww love his fluffy pointy ears,he is gorgeous,seems to like the camera already! roll on 5 weeks!
-
How beautiful!
Have you told your dog yet that he is coming? ;)
-
aawwww cute kitty :D Hard to belive they grow up to be right grumpy old so and so's isn't it ;) (speaking from experience of a male short haired blue / grey geezer :D)
So who named him? the owners?
-
The breeder's family call him Pumbaa but I get to decide of course and also to choose his posh name for registration purposes.
And Betty ... shhhhh ... she's quietly chewing on her Xmas bone by my side and has no clue what's about to hit her! ;)
-
Oh he is just fabulous! I want one!!! I want two! He definately needs a more elegant name than Pumbaa as he was the warthog in the Lion King! How are you going to wait 5 weeks!! :)
-
I'm not a cat lover I've always preferred dogs but Pumbaa could change my mind he's gorgeous :)

Aahh. So what names do you have in mind and does A4A get to vote ;D
-
I'm not a cat lover at all, and long-haired ones usually look the most evil to me, but he is really cute!

Given how pleased you all seem to be by the pics, I think I might have made a wise choice!! ..although I've got a lot to learn about cat grooming since I've only had moggies before!
His breeder name is Torridonian and so far we've come up with:
Torridonian Island Magic
Torridonian Blue Meanie
Torridonian Kind of Magic
Torridonian Dark Knight
and
Torridonian Lord of the Dance
As to his real name (the one that he'll get called by us) I'm veering towards Chomsky. Have a look here to see why:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky)
For those that don't know - my whole career life has been devoted to language, linguistics and psychology and Noam Chomsky is one of my heroes. Plus I just like the sound of it!
All suggestions gratefully received! ;)
Trouble is I barely know him so far but names grow to fit the persona. Gosh he ism lovely though isn't he? (OMG I'm suffering from proud mum syndrome!! :o :o)
-
I like the name chomsky too. :)
-
I chuckled when I read "Blue Meanie" (maybe it's an Edinburgh thing... ??? ), so that option gets my vote. I like the irony; in my experience
very few none of them are cute 'n' fluffy. :D
-

Thanks Den! It has a satisfying ring to it I think?

For those not in the know, "blue meanies" is the affectionate patronymic hereabouts for the traffic wardens!
As to cats ... soft, cute, fluffy .............. and demonic in my experience! ;D
-
Torridonian Island Magic....def, Tim for short, or Timmy, beautiful kitty... :)
-
Thanks Jan and welcome to A4A.
As one who grew up with "The Famous Five" I'm afraid Timmy just won't do. He's a dog! ;D ;D
Anyway thanks for your suggestions. I'm sure I'll change my mind 100 times before the kitten comes home.

I love cats and we always had them when I was a child, but not since. I have two Border Terriers who would not be impressed if I introduced a cat into the house. I'm just wondering how you are going to do it, or maybe your dog is already cat-friendly?
-
How gorgeous! I don't think my two would take to another now, so will have to share yours via lots of photos please

To be honest I don't quite know. The trick will be to ensure that she gives the kitten some breathing room!! At least until he finds his feet.
I'm not overplanning things as I usually do since when things don't go to plan I have a minor panic! Better to go with the flow!
The breeder suggested we could train the kitten to a harness and let them go for walks together! Sounds like a good bonding strategy.
The last time I did this was with a golden retriever and a ginger tom kitten. After the dog - who was absurdly keen to make friends - had had his nose slapped a few times (by the cat I hasten to add) they settled down happily together although we had to keep separating them initially since the cat thought the dog was his new mummy and tried to feed.
-
I love the idea of Chomsky! Very individual for such a handsome chappie!
-
What a lovely kitten Grawrc. He will keep you busy with all the grooming he requires to keep his coat from having knots. ;D
-
Aww what a beautiful kitty! Am getting all maternal seeing those photos... funny how babies never have the same effect on me ;)
-
Chomsky is the perfect (purrfect) name! It's so him and so you! For his posh name I like Blue Meanie. :)
-
Well Chomsky it is, Blue Meanie it is and he arrives on Sunday!!!!!! I'm so scared..... :o :o :o but also excited and enthusiastic!
Oh forgot to add : I bought him a suede and fleecy bed from Pets at Home (half price in the sale). Put it on the floor yesterday and Suzy (my cocker) has abandoned her own bed (and mine) and just uses the kitten's now. ....

Woohoo! So exciting. I would be nervous too. I don't think Biccy would like us getting another cat but I'd love a kitten again!
