Well, like it says in my sig, my kitty has many names. The name he was given by my mother-in-law is Dudley, and I have no idea why she picked it. I don't really care for that name, so I call him a lot of different things. Among some of his names recently are:
Ralphie, Frankie, Joe, Henry, Hank (sometimes Hank Williams Jr.), Gorgeous George, Herman, Mr. Belvedere, Babe Winkleman, Farty Fartboy (this is not because he's gassy; it's from South Park), Bubba Franks, Francis, Melvin, Larry, Sparky Sparkplug...............it all depends on my mood that day . He knows I'm talking to him just by the tone of my voice, so I don't need any particular name to get his attention. (On the medical records though, he's still Dudley.)
