Oh -- last night I forgot to mention that I named my family's first cat Clovis (re Cat named Pippin) -- not after the king, but the wry and elegant Saki character.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

There's always Inuyasha. I'd say Sesshomaru, but that has to be a fluffy white cat with a cranky disposition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If he gets to be a fat cat, you can always rename him Zeppelin.

I didn't even know there was a king until just a short while ago. I always think "clovis point people." Hazards of majoring in anthropology/archaeology.

Yeah -- King Clovis followed Pippin, thus that kicked off the memory for me. Just to make things just a little more confusig, Clovis-the-kitty was a girl.
In my defense, I was probably about 12 at the time she got named.

Happy Birthday Sue!

I hope all is well in tommyrot land.
I'm also getting a little concerned if Sean is OK (relatively speaking). I know the universe has been kicking his ass in way too many ways, but I don't think I've seen a post of his in over a week. I hope I was just skimming and/or not seeing his posts right in front of me.
