This is really a great book to help you name your new cat! I wish I would have had this book when we adopted our cat. (Would have come in handy to pick an appropriate name that fits her personality!) It will definitely help with the next one! Observe your new cat for a few days and then go through this book. I guarantee you'll find the perfect name for your furry friend!

This review is from: 5001 Names for Cats (Hardcover)

This is the PURRfect naming companion for your cat. Naming your feline is serious business. The wrong name can result in a cat that is, well, neurotic. Then you would need to buy Mr. Baker's other book, "How to Live with a Neurotic Cat." And if your managerie includes a dog, there is always his "How to Live with a Neurotic Dog."
Oh, there is humor in the book too, lots of it, in fact.

This review is from: 5,001 Names for Cats (McGraw-Hill paperbacks) (Paperback)

I really do reccomend this book only for people having trouble finding a name for their new addition. it is full of odd names. vey [interesting] ones like "hecula" and other very strange names, but if that fits your fancy, go on ahead and buy it. When we got our Devon Rex we decided to name her Aurora, one of the more normal names in the book!!!
