How did you get your cats name?

Tangerine is orange, and I wanted to call her something stupid I guess. Cortney liked Tangerine, and so did Tang.

Boi brown AKA sox, was boots for about one day. My late friend Eric (rip) came over and said boots was too common, and sox sounded better. We called him sox, and Sox likes it. I call him boi brown more than anything though.

William (aka Willy YumYum) was named that at the shelter where he was born and lived for almost 2 years before we adopted him.

Percy Peapod was originally named Percival Proctor, but we started calling him Percy Peapod and that stuck.

Tiger was originally T.C. ( for TabbyCat ), he eventually be came Tiger Cat

Pippin was named Mr. Magoo when we adopted him from the shelter at 4 months. But we changed it to Pippin after a very brave and adventurous character in a book I was reading.

Norbert was originally named Bandit by our neighbor who kept him and 4 other cats on her porch for over 5 years. All of a sudden, she decided she didn't want them around any more and was threatening to turn them all out to fend for themselves. I found homes for 4 of them, but Bandit was pretty unsocialized, so we ended up adding him to our tribe. We didn't want any memories of his former caretaker, so we named him Norbert after the little dragon baby in Harry Potter ( always hissing at everything).

Finally, Scooter Pie was named Scooter by his Seattle foster mom. We got him and we didn't change it much, just added the Pie!

That's the Tribe!

Sassy was named after the cat on Homeward Bound. She lives up to her name. Missy was already named when I got her and the name seemed to fit her so I kept it.

[Felicia's Mom]

I once heard a singer who's name was Felicia. I thought she had a beautiful voice and after hearing her name, I thought it was beautiful too. I didn't need a name at the time, so it was tucked aside until I needed one.

With Beau's name I don't remember.

Cleo a RB kitty, was from a pet shop where he was named Cleopatra. I just continued to call him Cleo. After realizing he was a male, his full name was changed to Cleophus. Which was a man's name from the Bible.

[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" !
