A cat by any other name...

I like to go on the local animal shelter websites and look at the pictures of animals up for adoption. I never fail to find some amusement in the more unusual cat names (for some reason, the dogs always have boring predictable names like Skipper or Brandy). To wit, today at the Ottawa Humane Society, there are a Giuseppe, a Moose, a Mac Attack and a Slim Charles looking for new homes. All of a sudden, I find myself thinking Giuseppe is the best cat name ever...

[this is good]

one of my favorite cats names was what the guests at the local soup kitchen called the stray they all snuck scraps to: Dammit. They'd say, c'mere, Dammit! Eat yer supper! Until Dammit had kittens, and they had to start calling her Dammette. :D

I've probably told this before but will risk repeating myself: I've always wanted to name a rabbit after a (long ago) coworker, Willoughby Farqhuar.

And.. if I ever adopt 2 cats again, I will name them Hello and Goodbye. Just so I can sound crazy while calling for them.
"Hello... Goodbye... C'mere Hello, Goodbye... C'mon... Goodbye.. Hello!!"

I think Giuseppe is an awesome name! (oh! especially if he had markings that looked like he had a leeettle mustachio...)
&:o)

It's a great name until you happen to know a Giuseppe (human) who is whinier than any animal - lol.

Names in general are strange.

"Slim Charles." A rogue and a cad, no doubt.

I enjoy reading the names of the cats on www.stuffonmycat.com - last week I saw "Murray Sparkles" and I just can't get that out of my head. Pancake Weinman has also been featured multiple times lately too.
