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!
