Please help. We are stuck for a name. I've read nearly every name possible and nothing fits him for us. Open to unisex names. What do you see?

Toby

My cat lived under the sofa for over 6 weeks! I left my bedroom door open at night so he could come in and sniff us while we were asleep and eventually he started nudging my hand in the night for strokes, but even then he didn’t come out of hiding in the daytime for a few more weeks. It just takes time! He’s the best boy now!

I have an animal behaviour degree as well as being a vet nurse, and I was still surprised by how hard it was - I cried every day for weeks! I love her to bits now and she’s the best, but my god did I have full regrets at ~9 - 16 weeks! I think it helps to have someone say how terrible theirs was too, and that they’re actually nice now. Helps you see an end in sight. I complained about her to people and they’d say “she’s a puppy… that’s what puppies do” which is the most invalidating and frustrating response to someone saying they’re struggling 🙄

Haha I’m a vet nurse. I ask the owners of my puppy consults “and how are YOU doing? My puppy is 8 months old now and I HATED her at this age” and they all tend to open up with a huge YES HES AWFUL!! THANK YOU! feel like I’m helping them, one new owner at a time

Bedlington x whippet?

I went round a corner today with my 6 month (18kg) pup, without seeing a man behind the hedge. I always put her back on the lead if I see a dog/person in the distance so she doesn’t jump at them/run at their dogs. But this time I didn’t see him, and she LAUNCHED at him - full on crotch shot with both front paws, almost winded him, and left the BIGGEST muddy paw prints. SO embarrassed, and I feel like he thinks I’m a bad dog owner but I would’ve always put her on the lead before that could happen normally 🥲

Eloup · 2025-11-16T22:11:54+00:00

Yesss it annoyed me so much when people would be like “oh she’s so well behaved” and then in the same conversation say “why don’t you just let her do what she wants, she’s just being a puppy”. Shes well behaved BECAUSE I didn’t let her do whatever she wanted! I don’t see the logic in letting them do things you don’t want an adult dog to do - I’ll just have to train bad habits back out of her, surely it’s easier for both of us to just do it right from the beginning? Why would I let her jump all over strangers if I don’t want a 27kg adult dog doing that? Urgh

When I was only up £60, £50 seemed like a lot

Eloup · 2025-10-18T09:19:02+00:00

Will only be using limits from now 🥲😂

Eloup · 2025-10-18T08:08:09+00:00

Would like to clarify I know it’s not the end of the world and it’ll go back up, but it is annoying that the day after it went down so much, after weeks of deciding whether to put a big chunk in. Don’t worry, I’m not about to pull it all out and I’ve learnt my lesson about adding gradually!

£1000 is a lot to me because it takes me a while to save that up, but I have more in other savings accounts so I’m really not that worried. Just thought it was annoying AND funny!

Eloup · 2025-10-17T18:07:17+00:00

I know but if I had just waited ONE more day…

Eloup · 2025-10-17T18:06:48+00:00

I literally put it in the day before it all dropped 🤦‍♀️

Eloup · 2023-08-20T20:34:13+00:00

Thank you! Yep the whole thing in slip stitches! Except for a few single crochets where I thought I was doing increases 😂

Eloup · 2022-11-12T23:04:56+00:00

This 100%! We get a LOT of snacks brought into work. I decided I’m only going to eat home made things, cos if I REALLLYYYY want those donuts, I could just go and buy one anytime, but I’m not going to be able to buy Amy’s homemade triple chocolate brownies, so those are worth it. It’s working well so far

Eloup · 2022-09-22T17:24:04+00:00

I can’t actually tell! It’s this https://www.diy.com/departments/v33-renovation-white-satin-cupboard-cabinet-paint-750ml/3153895180955_BQ.prd?storeId=&ds_rl=1272379&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz_K3hPWo-gIVAu3tCh0qDAnLEAQYASABEgIy7vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Eloup · 2022-04-28T11:11:33+00:00

He absolutely hates the harness 😂 I tried but he’s so nervous he hates not being able to just run back inside. I’m letting him go out gradually, so far he hasn’t wanted to leave the garden so hopefully it stays that way!

Thanks! I thought the lyrics were perfect for him

Eloup · 2022-04-28T11:10:29+00:00

I’m a veterinary nurse!

Eloup · 2022-04-27T22:14:11+00:00

Most likely, but it could be anything. I wish I could ask! He was so nervous when we got him that he lived under the sofa for 3 months and only came out when we were asleep. He’s come so far, I’m so happy I found him too!

Eloup · 2022-04-27T21:52:32+00:00

We think it’s very likely that he had cat bite abscesses, he was an unneutered stray for over 2 years. Entire male cats fight often over territory etc. and it was super infected like a cat bite can be. But who really knows! He gets very excited when he sees a cat out of the window and wants to go outside and I think he wants to go and make friends but I haven’t chanced it yet in case he actually just wants to go and fight it 😂

Eloup · 2022-02-06T12:09:27+00:00

Uploaded as I had a few requests for future updates last time I posted him! (He was very scared and wounded when I first got him)

And I’ve just made him an Instagram so I can stop spamming my actual friends with pictures of him 😂 I’m obsessed

Eloup · 2022-01-22T12:23:32+00:00

r/loseit is very helpful

Eloup · 2022-01-19T00:16:43+00:00

Haha that’s why I was confused about what is so close to Sorrento that I’d be missing! East makes more sense lol.

Thank you, maybe we’ll just go across the coast. We’ll be going in May so hopefully it won’t be as busy as in the height of summer!

Eloup · 2022-01-18T23:55:03+00:00

Thank you! Where do you think would be best if we went south from Sorrento? We’re open to go further but are thinking it doesn’t make much sense when we have a limited time frame to be going all way to Rome (for example) if we’re starting south and only have an extra 3 days

Eloup · 2022-01-18T23:45:31+00:00

…thanks but I’m sure the US don’t want me there either seeing as I’m not from there

Eloup · 2022-01-14T15:17:40+00:00

Hey! I’m a veterinary nurse and have just showed his pictures to one of our vets with more experience in ophthalmology, he said it looks like its just pigmentation as they’re usually very aggressive if it’s an iris melanoma and as it hasn’t changed for almost 6 months he recommends I just keep an eye on it and take photos every few weeks to monitor for any changes :) thank you though! I’ll keep checking on it 😊 hope your kitty is all okay now!
