Bailey was always going to be Bailey just because I loved the name. But.....
I had a very large ficus tree in the front room and as a kitten she was always climbing up the wicker planter and hiding in the artificial ferns I had in the bottom. After cleaning kitty truffles out of the ferns for several days, I decided it wasn't a good place for her to be "hiding" any more. I put up some guards around the bottom of the tree but she was so small she crawled right through them. So I ended up watching for her to go to the planter and when she would climb in I'd pick her up and put her in front of her litter box. Well she'd turn around and run back to the planter as fast as her little legs could carry her. After several attempts at coaxing her to use the litter box I picked her up looked into her eyes and said "Bailey-Jane you can't go in there!" and she's been Bailey-Jane ever since.
