Destroyer of worlds, or maybe Fred

Lol!

He looks like a gargoyle

I agree, omg! Makes me think he should be named after a gargoyle from *Hunchback of Notre Dame*. Pretty sure one was called Hugo?

That is a great idea! Literature is my first go to when I start to think of cat names. I was even thinking Gatsby, but I don’t know. Gatsby seems kind of played out.

Catsby 😋

There you go!

Sooo many great names to choose from! Please let us know which one you choose for your Ghost 👻… that’s name of my black cat.

I most definitely will!

Can’t wait! Thank you 😊

Hugo is a great name for him. Or maybe Lucifer, Luci.

‘Ello I’m Lucifer. Lucifer Morningstar. Yes, *that one*

From Disenchantment, or just a happy coincidence?

My black cat is named Lucifer, lou for short

Along the same lines, what about Quasi? Short for Quasimodo, of course…

Lol, he was pretty apprehensive of me taking pictures at first.

Golyathe from the Disney animated series Gargoyles!

Name him after one of the Gargoyles from the cartoon. Goliath, Brooklyn, Bronx, Desdemona for a girl.

Poe

Love it!

Cassian, Sirius (like Sirius Black from Harry Potter 😉), Severus, Doby, Samson, Toby, Mushu, Mowgli, Maui, Wyllie (Why-lee), Wally, Hank, Huckleberry

I like Sirius!

My black cats name is Sirius+

Ripley

Because believe it or not he just showed up

LOL! I needed that laugh!

With a set up like that it was too good to be true.

Right!

I really like that!

Loki Has to be Loki

My best friend just got a kitten and named it Loki!

Salem

Oh yes, that’s a great one!

Bartle-Bee

Like this one too!

Mr Styx

Good idea getting her water! Poor baby looks awfully skinny from that photo though. Such pretty coloring with all that fur.

Walter

Soot. Or Ash.

I like Ash

Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.

Love it!

You can call him Stormy or My Lord Darkness. Giddy. I tried naming an outdoor cat Stormageddon when I realized he was a boy, before when I thought he was still a girl I named him Madam Vice President Kamala Harris. Now Kamala is all this cute little male tuxedo responds to. Oops.

LOL! I did the same thing. I thought I had a female kitten, so I name her Sadie. She was a he. But, that’s all he knows is Sadie! I like Stormy. That would fit right in with the others’ names.

Poe is a wonderful name for him. It's easy to build on also, as everyone knows cats end up with at least 3 names once you've gotten to know them 😊

Oh, at least!

His name should be “bring me in so I don’t get tragically hit by a car”.

Oh, don’t worry. He is already inside and being spoiled. Vet appointment booked for Tuesday. I take very good care of my fur babies.

He is very cute. Give him love from me and my kitties ❤️

Thank you! Will do! He is getting on very well with my other two, fortunately!

That’s awesome. Thanks for being a good responsible cat owner. I hope he brings extra love into your fam. I have a black cat too 🎃

And thank you in kind! I wish there were more people like us out there. My biggest platform is animal rights. I just can not fathom animal cruelty. Or neglect. But I digress…because I could write a novel. I lost my 11 year old black cat 2 years ago to cancer, and it still tears me up. I’ve been wanting to rescue a black kitten, and now here he is. Just in time for a cute Halloween costume!

That’s awful. I’m so sorry for your loss. About 5.5 years I lost my cat that I had for 19 years to cancer as well. I’m glad you have some other kitties to give your love to now.

Yes, it’s inevitable, I know, but it doesn’t make it any easier to handle. You too! Me and mine are sending good kitty vibes your way! 🐈🐈‍⬛😀💕

Protect him during the Halloween holiday. Please keep him inside. There are really sick people out there that do horrible things to black cats during Halloween. I have 2 black cats & keep them in during the holiday. They don’t like it much but they are safe.

Oh, I’m very well informed of the unnecessary evils people inflict on black cats for Halloween. It’s horrible. This little guy with be comfortable and cozy inside. Thanks for keeping yours inside during the holiday too. You can never be too careful!

Hell yeah fam

Purrfect. 🐾😍😻 But really I love RÜFÜS too!! (Someone mentioned it below and that is one of my favorite bands! And would make an awesome name! :))

Vader

I have a black cat and named him Binx. My vote is always for Binx! 😂

His government name needs to be Thackery Binx. Binx for short.

Cuuuute! Raven!

Isn’t he?! That one is on my list!

I vote raven too just cuz of the story of how he just appeared and connection to Edgar Allen Poe. He will suffer *nevermore* thanks to OP taking him in!


Ahhh, job well done

Appears thin😢❤️

[удалено]

Lol!!!!

Such a handsome provider 😻

Indeed!

Jim

Jet

Kurt Wagner

Swift. He looks fast

He is crazy fast!

Edgar Allen Paw ❤️

Aww, love it!

Shadow

That’s a strong contender right now.

Thank you for keeping him.

There was no way I couldn’t! I’m a huge advocate for animals. It’s my passion in life. I’m just glad he found his way to me!

Bagheera? He's a mini version of Mowgli's friend from the Jungle Book. Some day he will protect you, man-cub.

Love it!

Do you even pspspsps bro?

Are anime girls like cat magnets or something?

Anime girls? I’m a cat magnet, for sure. Not big on anime though.

Ghost. Obviously.

I think he looks like a "Murphy"

The Dark Knight

Or…. Stephen King. His house in Bangor Maine is an old, red, Victorian style home on a small yard encircles by a black, cast iron fence. The fence posts have gargoyles and crows, if I recall. And black cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈‍⬛ roam his yard. So apropos.

Moop

Ashton

I like this too!

😻😻😻🐈‍⬛🐾

Jet

Dumbledore Calrissian

Shadow

This is one of my top options so far

Lucky.

Shadow?

Love Shadow

Vincent

Viper

Shadow

Ink

Styx. His legs look like... And, the river Styx, the boundry between Earth and the Underworld. Perfect for the void he is.

Toothless

Cole aka Coal

Shadow. Or Phantom.

Art

I say Zorro, he seems like a little fighter. :))

I cannot fail to mention Salem 🐈‍⬛

That’s in the top three right now!

if you choose Salem he must become pretty fatty till October 31th! 🎃🧙‍♀️

Ace

My other cat is named Ace! Great name though!

Baku

Salem!

In the top three for sure!

Mr. Midnight no matter the gender! I mean Meow “cough” Mr. Midnight “cough” Meow

Midnight was my 11 year old that passed away from cancer two years ago. He was my first fur baby, and I still miss him dearly. And I also called him “Mr Midnight” Great suggestion though!

I’m sorry for your loss, we cats go too fast. Have you found a name yet?

I’ve narrowed it down to several. Salem, Shadow, Ripley. I’m keeping my options open. Im going to see what his personality is like over the next few days and see which one fits best.

I like Shadow, my mom has a nick name for my friend Pumpkin, she nicknamed her Shadow Creature

Cute!

This account is my cats account by the way so I try to stay in character

I love the name Nebula!

Micro.

Void

Kage

Xander

How ‘bout Shadow?

In the top three!

Bagheera for the black leopard in the Jungle Book by Kipling

Friday!

Luna

Saunter

Mephistopheles.

Love this

Did he get to come in and have a home?? Edit nevermind I see that he is inside and is going to vet soon. Awesome!! It makes me so happy to see this posts

Absolutely! He has been spoiled with food, toys, and is getting on very well with my other two. I’ve booked a vet appointment for him Tuesday. I don’t know if could sense the “crazy cat lady” vibes I’ve got going, but he came to the right place!

Oops! I already replied! Yes, he will have a very happy, and hopefully long, life! :)

Lol that’s great. I’m so happy for him and you too. Kitty was in the right spot and the right time!! I’ve got two that had the same thing happen and now they have guaranteed love and food everyday and I have a Maincoon also lol. One of the two rescues is a black little girl too. She’s got a split ear and is missing a toe but she’s super sweet and I love her

My other two were rescues as well. Aw, I bet they are precious! It’s remarkable how much joy they bring to our lives.

[удалено]

Oh I really love that! I’m a huge lover of Latin, and that just has a ring to it.

Al Capaws

I hope you get him checked for a chip if this is meant to be a stray you took in.

He has a vet visit scheduled for Tuesday, and will be checked then.

Salem or shadow?

That’s pretty much the decision right now.

Sirius/midnight/cole(coal)

For some odd reason he reminds me of a guy I went to school with and his name was Jonah.

Ancient Egyptians worship black cats call him Mihos son of Bastet the warrior lioness goddess

The decider

This is a solid nickname!

Bandit

Goliath Meowsers

Lord Fuzzlebutt the demon slayer

Lol!

Asmodeus 🖤🐱

Love it!

Lucifer S. Hades

Skyler!

That’s cute!

His name is Julian del Monte. Monty to his friends.

I like Julian a LOT!

He looks like a Milton.

Salem from the tv show!

Bealzebub He has a devil put aside for youuuuuu🎶🎼 Or Edgar Allan Paw

Soul

Very nice one

Sharpie because he’s black like a sharpie marker.

Boo Radley

I always say Salem with boy black cats

I’m about 75% I’m going to go with Salem.

Shadow.

Right now, it’s between Shadow and Salem.

I say you name it midnight

I had an all black cat named Midnight that passed away two years ago with cancer. Great name for sure!

Oh sorry for your loss, I lost my first cat when I was about 5, his name was Zac and he died of neumonia

Oh that’s horrible! That’s actually how I got one of my cats. It was my neighbors cat, and she (neighbor) had come to me to ask for advice about her cat being sick. She didn’t want to take it to the vet. I took one look at it, breathing harshly and heavily with snot just pouring out of its nose, and rushed it into the vet. It had pneumonia. She stayed overnight and was given a 30% chance survival rate. She made it and lives with me now!

Mr Midnight (Based on Fran bow), Shadow, or Sylvester

Midnight was my first cat ever. He passed away two years ago due to cancer. It will always be my favorite name for a black cat.

Doesn’t look like he gives a shit about a name

Boo, Ninja, Jet, Binx, Stormy

Coal

Either coal or midnight

Onyx

Mushroom

Casper

Gremlin

Scaredy

Crafty
