Shadow was given her name the day she was born as she was the only black kitten in the litter.

Whisper was given his name because he never meowed as a kitten. Name given to him by his previous owners.

Callie was named Callie because I confused a calico and a tabby. My husband claims she is named Callie for California. Who knows? Either way it stuck.

Kahn was given her name when we drove past a billboard in Tucson for a man running for office with the last name Kahn. I liked it and gave her the name.
