Tell Me, What Name Did You Choose for Your Cat, and Why

[WebmasterMaryJo]

We seem to always have had cats.

When I was younger we had Mitzi ... story on Mitzi... she used to like to get up in the motor of the family car on cold winter days. Well, one day, she got up in the motor, and my dad went to work. When my folks didn't see her they figured out what had happened, and were understandably upset. They looked all over for her. About six months later, my mom heard a faint meow at the window. It was Mitzi -- very skinny, filthy dirty, and purring up a storm - she found her way home, and it took her six months to get there.

We had another kitty named Puddles (heck if I know why my parents named him Puddles), but he was my buddy, and I spent all day long with him. My dad tells me I used to share my ice cream cone with him ... one lick for me ... one lick for my cat (hey, I was only 4 at the time).

Next, we had chocolate Siamese, and named him Coco. He was mean, though. Then we had another Siamese, Queenie - Seal Point. The best pet I have ever had in my life. She used to follow me around like a dog, and would jump in my arms when I whistled. I still miss her.... Next was another Siamese - Minga - named after a place in Spain, where my grandfather was from.

Beeper - a black and white kitty. My ex used to say Beeper for nerd, and so we named our cat that.

Our cats now are Lucky -- she's Lucky we found her, and Diamond, for the diamond marking on her head.

We have Olivia, Molybdenum Molecule the Particle Cat, and Leigha.

Olivia is named for an artist DH and I both like.

Moly, for short, is a combination of names, I wanted Molly for her name and DH, being the drafter he is, thought of Molybdnum right away. The particle cat part is a take off of a "They Might Be Giants" song.

Leigha is a derivitive of my middle name and the only name DH and I could agree on.

Sassy- because she is feisty and full of herself

Bear- solid black and she looked like a little black bear

Ace- she's white with a little gray star over her eye. She looks like Ace Frehley of KISS

Rascal- he's always into something

Cutie Pie- he is the cutest cat I have ever seen

We had a few:

Frank (Francis Albert Cat) because of his blue, blue eyes. Frank was such a sweet cat. He went through a lot, too, from fighting with a possum (and nearly losing his tail) to FIV and tangling with a dog (Frank died in my arms).

Oreo: She was black and white. Afterwards, I decided I should have named her Figaro after Pinocchio's cat. She was my cat.

Auric: He was reddish-gold, like Auric Goldfinger's hair.

Socks: He was mostly black with white socks on his feet.

Names we just liked: Muffin, Punkin, Nelson.

None of them are alive. We had Muffin the longest (about 14 years).
