One afternoon I stopped at a small mom& pop pet shop to get food for my RB parakeet JC Chapin. There was a sign on the door saying "We have kittens". Of course the babies were right across from the bird food. I knelt down to look at them and they all came to the front of the large cage. A little face popped up in the middle of the group, I looked at him, he looked at me and it was a done deal. The adorable little baby with the Groucho Marx moustache was coming home. The first thing I fell in love with was that moustache, and that's how Groucho got his name.

I forgot about how Amy got her name. I brought her home from the pet store where she was in the cage with her 2 other litter mates. My son and his wife were with me. Once we got her home and put her down, I said "we have to name her! WHAT?" so we took turns throwing names around... we all agreed "no!" "no!' "no!" to all the names that were mentioned.. When my DIL threw out the name "AMY!" WE all instantly agreed, it fit and was purfect for her!

Right after New Years Day in 1994, my SO rescued a little kitten from behind a pizza place. We were casting about for a name, when she started curling around and rolling on the floor. She twisted around so much, I said, "That cat is like a Mobius strip!" So she became Mobius (Moby for short.) She'll be 15 in September.

My Creamsicle got her name because of her coloring. I scooped her up and said "I could just eat you up cuz you look just like a little Creamsicle!"

Peeka and Boo, brother and sister, got their names because Peeka used to peek around corners and Boo is a black cat who used to pounce at you when you least expected it, as if he was saying "Boo!"

Pigeon was named so because of the way she coos.

Specs got his name due to the white around his eyes, making it appear as though he's wearing spectacles.

Yoda got her name because she always had airplane ears. Little did I know it was because she had an ear polyp at that time.

Puddy got her name from the cartoon where Tweety Bird would say "I tot I taw a puddy tat" because she hid from me when I went to pick her up at the home where she was living and when I found her, that's what I said, so the name Puddy stuck.

When he would walk away from me, his balls were so cute and brown and fuzzy that I'd squeal "Just look at those cute little Coco Puffs!" So that's how he got his name.
