Mitzi is often called Mitty ... it's those big white mitts that inspired her "real" name; itty-bitty-pretty-kitty. Mitzi-mess-maker. Meetza meatball.

Mishi becomes "Biggie" or my Big Boybee. Also MEESH! or Mishka or my Milinki Mishinki (phonetic spelling of my bad Russian!) "Milinki" means little in Russian and he's anything BUT little! Goofus, Goofy, Goony, my main Goon and/or silly cat
