Some cats I have had no problem naming, I knew I was going to change Samantha's name when I got her.. I never liked Midnight. I used Samantha in memory of my soul kitty Sambo and because it "fit" her... With Amy, I knew that "fit: soon as I head it. Boo and Giz were names when I got them..

I have had some I had to "try" names on before I found one that fit perfect.. Some I drew a complete blank and couldn't come up with anything that fit and that is when I always got my sweet brother in law to help and he ALWAYS came up with the perfect name for me. Rastus was one that he came up with for me that I loved and it FIT!

So if Austin is now Butchie, if that feels right for you, he likes it and responds... then BUTCHIE it IS!!

WELCOME YOU CUTE LITTLE BUTCHIE! Some day you will be a BIG HANDSOME MAN CAT and Mommie with have to call you MR BUTCH!
