How did you get your cats name?

Oscar - well, a couple of months before he was given to me, I saw paw prints in a dusting of snow outside the kennel where I work. I asked Ted (boss) who it was.

He had been taming and feeding this feral boy since the spring (I saw the prints in October), and he replied: "That's Oscar. Because he's WILD." (get it?)

They had him all "neuticled" and everything, and gave me my $200 sucky boy for Christmas. He is totally bonded to me, and is my heart cat!

COLE - he was dumped near the property (all acreages around there). Black fluffy boy...I thought of Coal, then realized that an artist like Oscar Mayer Wild needed a fellow artist, so Cole Rover Porter came about!

Coco Puff, my Siamese, had the cutest little brown furry balls! When he was walking away, I said "They look like little coco puffs!" But alas, he had them removed, so I guess I should call him just Coco. Nah! Creamsicle is named for her coloring. When she first appeared on my porch, she was to tiny, I could hold her in one hand and my hands are small and I said "I could just eat you up; you look like a little Creamsicle." It stuck. Yoda was named after the character in Star Wars because her ears were flattened due to an ear polyp growing in one of them. (She has since had it removed, the polyp, not the ear. ) Specs got his name because he has white circles around both eyes that give the appearance that he's wearing spectacles. Boo is coal black and looks like a Halloween cat. His late sister, Peeka, was named that because she liked to peek around corners before entering a room. (Peeka and Boo, get it?) Pigeon was named after the cooing sound that she made when she first appeared in my red raspberry bush. And Puddy got her name from "I t'ought I taw a Puddy Tat", the old cartoon. It just fit.

Blessings,

I've been a big Marx Brothers fan for a lot of years and still love their movies. When I was in the pet shop looking at the baby kittens, a little head popped up. A little black and white baby with a Groucho Marx moustache. It was love at first sight! Groucho was the obvious name. At the vet's office another pet owner looked at him and said, "Yup, that must be a Groucho!"

Tangerine is orange, and I wanted to call her something stupid I guess. Cortney liked Tangerine, and so did Tang.

Boi brown AKA sox, was boots for about one day. My late friend Eric (rip) came over and said boots was too common, and sox sounded better. We called him sox, and Sox likes it. I call him boi brown more than anything though.
