What is your pet's name?

This is Portia :h: We got her from the Cats Protection League and because they have so many cats they named them by themes - she was part of a set named after cars, called Clio, Lexus and Porscha. We just changed the spelling so it was like the Shakespeare, although she's probably the least sophisticated cat in the world :tongue:

i have a cat and he's called clarence :smile: that was his name from his previous owners so we didn't think it was wise to change it although it's still a lovely name :smile:

I have a black cat called Lexi, she was called Squeaky when we got her as a kitten but my childhood nickname is Squeak due to my high pitched cry as a baby, my parents still call me it a lot and I didn't want to have any confusion when the cat is called and I answer. So I changed her name to Lexi :tongue:

No we didn't. He came from a rescue centre in Bristol.

He was one of only 2 left from a litter of 8 that were dumped on them. There was him (the runt of the litter) and one of his brothers who exactly the same in terms of shape but was pale brown, really odd for a basset hound cross.

He is a lovely little dog though, is very nervy because we think he was abused by the family that dumped them all at the rescue centre. We've had him 2 months and he is only just getting brave enough to come up to you in the house. Outside he is OK, as soon as he is lying down he is fine but if he is wandering around the house he is terrified of people. He is finally getting over it a bit and is really coming out of his shell though.

cat called Gazza/Gaza, named after where my dad was born. I didn't pick the name, he already had it when I got back from a trip, but I like it. I had a cat when I was younger, a black and white cat.....called Jess. I was super imaginative as a child, clearly. I also used to have a rat called Jamellah (Arabic for beautiful!) and my sister had one called Wriggles.
My Dog is called Alfred (We got him from the Dogs Trust and they had called him Teal :lolwut:) My cats are called Bobbie (After Bobby Robson because she's black and white and my Dad is a geordie), Maisy (She was called that when we got her) and Buzz (After Lightyear) :smile:
We had a few hamsters when I was younger - there was Holly, who bit me and then died, then Fudge who was ADORABLE, then really cute mini dwarf hamsters called Smoky and Smudge. But then Smudge killed Smoky so we never really liked him after that. :dry:
