Spook got her name by the way she acts...most people assume she got the name because she is a black cat but noooo lol You really have to be around her to realize that she is just a Spook.

Hoodini got his name because of his cat like ability to hide in obvious places and his ablity to quickly escape from any social situation. He never is interested in escaping out of the house, but he sure does dissapear quick when people are around! That and the name just fits him for some strange reason . When we first got him both me and the hubby almost simultaniously said "Hoodini" when we were thinking of a name for him.

Remus is an interesting story. His full name is Remus Kibbyashi Maru, AKA the cat with no solution. The Remus part was inspired by a dream I had a few nights before I got him. In the dream I went to the shelter and a cat named Remus was waiting for me. When I did go to the shelter later in the week and saw him I knew I had found my Remus boy! The kibbyashi maru part was inspired by the Kobyashi Maru (sp?) of Star Trek fame. Basically it is a training scinerio that supposedly is unbeatable but all starfleet cadets must face it. Remus, too, has no solution. Sometimes you just can't figure him out! Everyone though, even people who claim to hate cats, loves Remus and tries to figure him out. I've stopped telling people that this is imposible
