Tito: (Cat) When I adopted Tito from the shelter his name was Ashton. The girl at the shelter named him that after Ashton Kutcher. Well I don't really give a crap about Ashton Kutcher and plus my boyfriend refused to call the cat if he was named after Ashton Kutcher (guess he thought it was lame too). So we spent five days kicking around names. I really wanted to name his Sascha but Boyfriend said that was a girl kitty's name. I thought it was kinda unisex. Finally, it was the night before I had to take him to the vet to get some shots. I knew I couldn't bear to take him as a no-name kitty!!! So Boyfriend starts throwing out crazy names...and out of the clear blue sky came "Tito Magoo." We cracked up laughing and it stuck. We dropped the Magoo part out of laziness. We almost named him Toonces b/c he looks like "Toonces the Driving Cat" from Saturday Night Live but I didn't think that was original enough. So Tito it is. It fits him perfectly, if you could meet him you'd know!

Swimmy: is a fish. Enough said. A beta actually.

He-Man and She-Ra: Two other fish (tetras). I wanted to name them after a famous couple since I got them together. Later I found out they were both males. I guess She-Ra is having an identity crisis. But it's OK since he's a pink fish and pink is associated with girls so much!!!

Dixie: (Dog) Was named after a street near my parents' house. She still lives with my parents.

Mushka: (Cat that has since gone to RB) Have no idea what he was named after. But it's a cool name!
