Let's see, Hubby's cat's formal name was Cat Mondu, which was morphed from Katmandu (we were watching a show on Nepal when we were discussing names with the tiny little puffball kitten). A friend of ours who had been in Korea asked why we named our cat after a noodle dish. Mondu eventually became Mouse. He answered to both names.
Once we had Mondu and Koogie, we decided our next cat would have to be Pop Dong, which means Bowl of Rice, to complete the meal. We inherited a very old cat from a home in which the middle aged grandmother was suddenly terrified of catching toxoplasmosis. Poor old Pop Dong, booted from her cushy home and family because of idiocy. We eventually just called her Old One. She was a master of the trundle-butt, in which she'd walk in a big circle, picking up speed, ending up with a butt against a person so that that person would pet her. She'd do this for as long as anyone would let her.
I want a kitten, somebody new to hug and name and cuddle and learn their habits.

When I was a kid, we had a somewhat fat kitten that we named Mouse. When Mouse got older he lost his fat, so we renamed him Rodent. Rodent had siblings named Spockat, Tigress, and Foolish Big-Eyed Orange Cat.
She's sitting on the back of my chair, snuggled up to my back. I'm afraid to move. So cute.
When I was a kid we named our favorite cat Alfie after our mom's dad, Alfred. Mom never told her parents the cat's name. I don't know why. He was a very cool cat.

Ah, the trusting kitten "My humans won't let anything bad happen to me" phase. Which once kept me sitting in one place for half an hour with a kitten napping in my cupped hands.
Which one is the Cat Conversation on the Big List o' Topics?
The one that makes me want those hypoallergenic kitties I keep hearing about to a) work and b) come down in price and c) DO IT NOW NOW NOW.
That's the one, yep.
One of my good friends got a kitty. He named her Serenity, Sera for short. She's adorable and I want to go to Northern California and play with her, but I can't.
Why don't puppies inspire the same level of Squeee! as kittens? Puppies are cute and cuddlesome and bouncy, too. Though they do tend to squat in the middle of the floor and take care of business whenever the urge strikes them.

Because they grow into dogs. Nobody gets to be a crazy old dog lady unless she's a toothless hillbilly with hounds.
crazy old dog lady
This is really my goal in life.

You can't be a married crazy old dog lady.
