Just got this little guy, I was thinking. Of calling him Beef, but the more I say it, the more I think he’s not a Beef. I would LOVE some ideas 💕💕

They look so cute. Are they twins because they so much look alike?

Berlioz (from Disney’s Aristocats) and, as previously suggested in the comments, Kovu (from Disney’s The Lion King II) would be cute. Other unique but more straightforward choices: Smudge, Cinder, Scoria, Char, Nimbus, Shady, and Pewter.

In the first picture, I was thinking Spot for his tiny white spot. Later, I thought Foggy or Pewter. Remington Steel juzt came to mind for his steel color.
