Our first family cat, Mustard was an all-orange tabby male, and I named him when he was just a baby. My first cat when I was grown was named Sadie - I can't say why. She was pure white with sea-green eyes. My next cat was a pure blue-grey and I named her Zoe - partly because of the meaning ("life") and because a friend's sister was named Zoe. My next two cats, Tzigane and Myrtille were named by my husband. Myrtille was a dilute tortie, mostly blue-grey, but w/enough pinky-cream to make her look like a wild blueberry just before it is ripe. I don't know why he named our calico Tzigane, unless it had something to do with his own heritage as 1/4 Romany. The cats we have now are Beauty and Indigo. My son named Beauty on the spot at the shelter. She is pure black. Indigo already had a name - Oreo - but we felt it was too undignified and didn't want to keep it. On the other hand, because she was 7 months old, we wanted to name her something that might have some of the same sounds, so after a couple of days, I came up with Indigo. She is half black (the upper half) and half white (the lower half) with beautiful black eyeliner, a white peak in the middle of her face, and a big black spot on her black nose. I thought that indigo dye, if used in intensity, could look almost black.
