How did you get your cats name?

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Maya was named like that by me, after a very sweet dog we used to know. This name fits her perfectly!!
Inka's was chosen by my daughter Indra who remembered the Maya's and the Inca's from American history!
Zazou was named by me because she is such a sweetheart. The word "sweet" means "zoet" in Dutch . SO "Zazou" means "that sweet one" :
Snoopy, was so small and tiny when my hubby found her on that parking lot. I could hold her in 1 hand. So she looked like a "snoepje". We kept this name but tried to sound it a bit more international, so it becams "SNOOPY" !

Our first family cat, Mustard was an all-orange tabby male, and I named him when he was just a baby. My first cat when I was grown was named Sadie - I can't say why. She was pure white with sea-green eyes. My next cat was a pure blue-grey and I named her Zoe - partly because of the meaning ("life") and because a friend's sister was named Zoe. My next two cats, Tzigane and Myrtille were named by my husband. Myrtille was a dilute tortie, mostly blue-grey, but w/enough pinky-cream to make her look like a wild blueberry just before it is ripe. I don't know why he named our calico Tzigane, unless it had something to do with his own heritage as 1/4 Romany. The cats we have now are Beauty and Indigo. My son named Beauty on the spot at the shelter. She is pure black. Indigo already had a name - Oreo - but we felt it was too undignified and didn't want to keep it. On the other hand, because she was 7 months old, we wanted to name her something that might have some of the same sounds, so after a couple of days, I came up with Indigo. She is half black (the upper half) and half white (the lower half) with beautiful black eyeliner, a white peak in the middle of her face, and a big black spot on her black nose. I thought that indigo dye, if used in intensity, could look almost black.
