Well ... My cat's "proper" name is Cashmere. She's all grey, with grey whiskers, except for a white spot about the size of a quarter on her right hip. When I told my parents I had found a cat I wanted to adopt, my mom was wearing her new coat - the fabric is part cashmere, so that's where that came from. I was trying to come up with a musical name for her but couldn't think of anything I especially liked. So she became Cassie, which led to Cassie Cat, Cassie Kitty, Cassie Lassie, Cassie Molassie, Boo-Boo Kitty (after Shirley's cat on "Laverne and Shirley"), and my sister calls her Cookie Puss. My other name choice for her was Pepper ... sometimes I think that would have been better.
