Some 20 + years ago, I found 2 tiny 5 week old kittens wandering the streets late one night on Nantucket Island. Needless to say, we took them with us, and one was named Tucker, and the other was "Y"...named for the perfectly shaped Y on his chest. :D In those days the cats would go out if they wanted, and I got some very odd looks when I called "Y" in for the day lol!
My mom named one of her kitties Cucumber...because she always hung out in the cucumber area of the garden.
I gave my latest kitty the name Vegas.....all I could think of was that he was so down on his luck and there are lots of people who go to Las Vegas to try to change their luck.....lucky for Vegas because he hit the jackpot and found himself his forever home.
I had a cute little orange boy one time that I just couldn't think of a name for, NOTHING fit him. My sister and her husband came to visit from out of town and he is great at naming animals so I asked him what he thought his name should be. He picked that little ball of orange fulff up and looked him eye to eye and said "I dub thee RASTUS!" It fit him perfect too!
I'd love to name two males Penn and Teller, but that might give them (escape!) ideas!
A friend in high school had a dog named Bear and a black cat named * Gasp! Cover your ears kitties - * DOG
My dad had a cat named Sedgwick Huxtable
My mother had Zasu Pitts - named for the actress from the 20s through the 50s
and we of course have The Beans.
... almost forgot about the neighbor who had a cat named Ratzbreath - The Great Hunter!
