My very first kitty Willie, was named after my (deceased) grandfather. My grandfather grew up in the great depression and for "fun" they did things with cats. He always would tell us these stories......I've often wondered if the stories grew a little with age, but never the less, it was my grandpa telling me a story!

I had my very first kitty for 2 weeks, and no name would fit. Then one day he did something, typical of my grandfather and so the name "Willie" stuck.....for the next 15 years of his life!
