How did your cats get their name

[Moli]

Leo is my sons cat and Leo is his birth sign....
Merlin was always up to something as a kitten...
Oliver was always hungry...
Casper.was Nero when I got him, but didn't like it..I thought he looked like a Casper...

Leia & Patches were both named whrn I rehomed them; they knew their names, so they stuck, even if not my preference. Dandy's registered name was Juciful's Yankee Doodle Dandy ...I tried & tried to think of an Asian name for him since he was a Singapura, when it dawned on me that he was born in Massachussetts, so therefore, a "Yankee Doodle Dandy"!! Also known as Doodles. Misty, my first blue torbie just looked like a Misty to me (not very imaginative). and Sultan, my Aby was so regal in bearing & demeanor even as a kitten that he HAD to be a Sultan!! Not going back any further...this is long enough!!

Hreow, I've ben meaning to tell you there was a song in the late sixties by Noma Tanega called "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog". Doubt if it ever made it to the UK, but you can check the lyrics on Google if it would amuse you...and I noted that you csn also download a ringtone of it...lol

Well C-Fur was C for cat. Purrdie was because of her purrr

Hmm well my last cat was called Chocolate (as when i was 2 that was all i seemed to eat), so it only seemed right to carry on the theme, Hance Jaffa Cake. (Also becuase she looks like a jaffa cake )

Cartwenm, forgive this Yankee, but what is a Jaffa cake???

[Snoof]

DM, a Jaffa cake is a biscuit (cookie) type of thing. It's a sponge cake bottom, with an orange goop on top of it, and then the orange goop is sealed in with a layer of chocolate. They're absolutely delicious, and the sole reason I changed my opinion on chocolate-plus-orange flavours from "Ick" to "Scrummy"

Edit: Picture:

The bulge on top is where the orange goop is

Thanks, Snoof! Sounds tasty...my stomach is growling wishing I had one

[Snoof]

They're awesome, DM - if you want to send me your address I'd be more than happy to send you a box so you can try them

[dandysmom]

Snoof, I'm tempted, tempted.....BUT since I managed to lose a couple of pounds with this stomach flu, think I'd better say thanks but no thanks...afraid I'd pig out on them!!!
