Oh boy, am I glad to know that others have had the same experience with "mistaken identity" or something like that! In my case, it explains Emmett's name. A former petsitter asked me if Stump would like a buddy, I said yes, and soon she brought over an adorable kitten, about 4-5 months old, whose name was Emily. I didn't do any examining, but when I took "Emily" to the vet to talk about spaying, the vet took a closer look and said, "This is a he! You have a he!" And all I could say was, "Well, I guess the name Emily won't work anymore."

The vet suggested the name Emmett and that's what he answers to (well, when he feels like it...)
