In 1975 we picked out a black and white 6 week old kitten at the SPCA. The attendant said it was a female. We took her home and named her Ella. It soon became apparent that Ella was no girl. We didn't change the cat's name to Elton or Elvis, but kept the name Ella. Everyone commented on his name because he was a very large cat. My daughter said she always thought that Ella was a boy's name because of him!
