Groucho has decided he does not care for the new cat

And he told him so. Interesting for a cat who spent years cowering in the back of a closet, Groucho marched right up to Unnamed and told him off to his face.

And then...?

They both decided they needed to head off in different directions.

Very sensible.

Unnamed is basically amiable and Groucho isn't a physical cat. When he and Blotchy played, it didn't involve full contact (except once, when it became apparent Groucho had never thought what would happen if he won the tug of war and yanked Blotchy off the vanity).

Face it, James, you would be incredibly bored with just one cat. Which is why the universe keeps sending you an unending supply.

You have to name the new dude. You have to give in to the fact that you are keeping him. Nameless kinda makes sense since she is so resolutely not interested in interacting with humans, but the new dude sounds very chummy. Rupert or Norbert or Gawain or Fitch or Chaz or Buttons or Zinnia Bits or Poltergeist or Zietgeist (however spelled) or Zigfield ....

...google google google ... ah - a person who wears tuxedo clothes - although most of the images seem to be of women wearing mostly a top hat. :)

That's his daughter, Zatanna (or, as your searches probably pulled up, Zatanna Zatara).

I dunno, I think having a Nameless and an Unnamed is kind of cool... if confusing...

I still think he looks like a Perry.

And no, I have no idea why.

Terry Pratchett recommends one syllable names you won't mind calling outside for in the middle of the night whilst banging a cat dish. Zut I believe was one he mentions.

He also says black and white cats are almost always cartoon cats so don't be surprised if he pulls a mallet out of nowhere or goes running over the edge of something and hangs in the air for longer than you think possible.

As you can see I'm doing this from memory, not sure where my cat book is.
