How did you get your cats name?

Spunky was named that because of his SPUNK in standing up to Ashley and Boo when he came to us as a kitten. Barry named Ralph, I added the Syracuse because he is my Orangeman(too bad Syracuse went to just Orange), Norton, was rescued from a sewer and was named after the character on the Honeymooners, Ed Norton, who worked in the sewer.

well lets see, when we were bringing home Abby from the shelter, my son asked if she was a Tabby cat, I said no , she is an Abby cat . so that is how she got her name.
Buddy was hard to name. He was gonna be Jake, but that is the name I was gonna choose for a great dane puppy that I was (and may in the future

) get. so it was a few days till Buddy actually got his name, from us saying to Abby...." wheres your little buddy?? " and the name stuck....so Buddy it is

Tigger my favorite character from Winnie the Pooh, Tigger also was adopted with her twin brother so we named him Tony after Tony the Tiger.

Smokey because of his smoke coloring.

Tucker because we did not know if she was a boy or girl and I figured that Tucker could fit either.

Mystic was actually Merlin because I first thought she was a boy and was completely black. I think black cats and I think of things mythical. When it was determined that she was really a girl her named was Mystic.

Abner....I really have no idea why he got that name, it was just the name that I said the first time I laid eyes on him.

Gracie and Gabriel, well they were rescued by a very special lady here on PT and when I saw the first picture of the two of them together I knew in my heart that I wanted to adopt them both. Gracie was just a name that I always thought was beautiful and Gracie was adorable as a tiny blind kitty. A post went out for a name for her brother and Gabriel was mentioned by T&P's mom....so I kept the tradition of twins with the same first initials going, however Gabriel is now called Little Dude and we hardly ever refer to him as Gabriel.

Vegas, well Vegas was pretty down on his luck when I started to feed him. He was feral, had been hit by a car, and was infested with worms. All I could think of was people who go to Las Vegas and end up with nothing, well that's what Vegas had, nothing. Lucky for Vegas that his luck turned around and he is now in his forever home...never to be homeless or out of luck again.
