CAT NAMES - the most weird and wonderful

[Karen]

Long before my time, when my parents were dating, my mom had a cat named Crankcase. His alternative name was Friend Kitty.

When he was a wee kitten, he was exploring around the barn and fell in a bin of recently drained crankcase oil. He was so filthy not even his own mother would go near him, never mind clean him. It fell to the humans to wash him off as best they could.

They think that brain damage was a side effect - because he grew up not terribly bright. He'd walk up to a barking, growling dog or hostile human (visitors) and rub around their legs, he loved EVERYBODY - whether on not they despised him. Hence the "Friend Kitty" nickname.

Sadly, but not surprising given his lack of intellect, he died young. They were clearing large rocks from a field (a never-ending battle on any New England farm) and tossing them in a pile, and Friend Kitty decided to race the rocks to the pile. He tragically won, and got crushed.

But his memory, obviously, outlived him.

My husband had a torti female when we were dating. Her name was Muddy Waters. Our first cat together was named Tier (tear).

My brother has 2 cats named Taco and Bell. So when he goes to call them he is yelling "Taco Bell, here Taco Bell, Come here Taco Bell" It's pretty funny!!

For many years, my aunt Bunny was cat-mom to a pair of brown tabby brothers, Popcorn and Watermelon. Watermelon was a marble tabby with long horizontal stripes on his sides. Not sure what got Popcorn his name.

They had a younger orange "sibling" named Woodstock.

When I was younger, my parents had a pair of cats named Tiggus and Crybaby. Tiggus was supposed to be Tigger until my parents found out she was a girl kitty. Crybaby lived up to her name all 19 of her years. She was (and still is) the loudest cat I have ever come across. Spook and Pandora have nothing on this cat lol. She would be sneaky too. She would sit behind you for at least an hour...to wait until you were engrossed in whatever it is your doing (Usually we'd be watching TV) and then she would yowl to wake the dead! Eventually I got used to it, I guess thats why my cats cant manipulate me by being loud lol.

Now I've got my boy Remus. Most people find it unusual, until they meet him and then they say "Yeah, that cats name IS Remus lol"
