Marshmallow was easy--she's fluffy and has a white tummy. Pickles was one of the random names we came up with and then we let Marsha choose. I think she did a great job! My parents have some very interesting names in their cat past.

Pookie: Found us on Halloween, brother was 4 and had no front teeth. He couldn't say "Spooky" and the name stuck!

Greasy: Moved into my dad's shop (he owns a boat repair business) and fell into the test tank!

Fu: Greasy's baby. Greasy gave birth and 8 days later was hit (survived!). Mom and her friend were taking care of the kittens and Fu stuck his head out. Fu is black and white, with a mostly white face. He has a black moustache and beard. When he popped his head out, mom's friend said, "Look, it's fu man chu!" The name stuck.

My parents have had many more pets (14 dogs and 3 more cats) but I don't think you want to hear about all of them...
