Stuff I like

[Holly Stuckey]

Thankz for responding; it makez me feel welcome:)
I like toy ratz, cardboard (to scratch & toss around the room), being
pet
on the eyez and earz, heaterz (I like to be warm), Fancy Feast food (but
my
Mum sayz I have to cut back on it 'cuz she read in the newsgroup that it

will rot my teeth), sleeping, lying on my Mum's nice clothes, and
watching
cartoons. I hate car ridez ('cuz it usually means a trip to The Bad
Place), loud noises, the diet food my Mum tries to feed me, and the catz
screensaver on
my Mum's computer (does anyone else's hoomin have this?).
What do you guys like and hate?

All furry nice stuff! Although we don't eat Fancy Feast, Mama feeds us
Science Diet. Do you like feet? Liddle Olive likes to
pouncepouncepounce our Mama's feet.

I hate car ridez ('cuz it usually means a trip to The Bad

Yech! The metalmonster that takes you to TED!

We don't like when Mama leaves us alone for too long. We don't like
funny noises like Mama's box that makes a loud buzzing noise and wakes
her up (then she turns it off _then gets up_ instead of going back to
sleep! Isn't that stoopid?). We don't like when she won't let us eat
whatever we want when we want.

There is a Cats Named Sam Club. I don't know if they have any female
members, maybe you can be the first!

Pip (4 years old, black and white and very fa...er fluffy)

I fink itz OK to haff to cats wiff the same name. After all, we have Sam,
Sam, Sammy (my hero) and Sam who meowchat. Maybe there can be club for
cats named Pip?

I, KitTen, sometimes get confused with Kitsen (our names are similar you
know). It always works out in the end.

KitTen

Pee Ess - Ize can't speak for Pip. He might have copyrighted his name but
I have never seen him sign his stuff with: Pip(tm). If your concerned
about a copyright violation I suggest you talk to Christofur. He is a
lawyer you know.

Ooooh, ooooh! Ize dont know what to do!!!

Ize never had a winkwink before. Then Sammy N Ize started taking a shine
to each other at the Holiday Hop. Ize don't think weez official winkwinks
yet. N now Pip wants to be winkwinks. Ize dont know what to do! Ize
asked Paw N he said to have them go out back N settle in in a manly fashon.
That doesnt seem furry nice though. Kitsen has two winkwinks, does
anykittie know if she has problems keepin up with her "obligations"? Ize
thur anyfing else I shood do?

Gurlkitties! Ize need advise!

Boff these boykitties are reelreel nice. Ize dont want to hurt any kitties
feelings! Ize never had a winkwink before N Ize want won reelreel bad.
Ize wood hate too come out of this wiff no winkwink. Ize dont want to hurt

Hi Pippy,

Ize KitTen. Ize got my name cuz when Ize was a kitten, Paw thought Ize was
a boykittie N named me Bob. Well, when he took me to TED they told him
that Ize was a gurlkittie. He didnt think Bob was a gud name for a
gurlkittie N just called me KitTen until he could think of a gud gurlkittie
name. He never did (Paw iz stoopid sometimes).

Maybe weez cood go to thuh soda fown-tin N meow a little. Theyz dont have
furry many sada glasses so weez might hafta get jist one sada N two strawz.

Ourz Mommy's kousin hadda dog named Puppy till dey kould fink of a good

re-named Bubba-Sue. See? KitTen iz a good name!

Samson iz named fur sum strong man inna Bible who had hiz eyez

an' hoominz thought he didn't have no eyez. If he hadda been
a gurl-kat, he woulda been named Amazin' Grace.

We don't know why Tyler iz named Tyler. It jist fits him.
Mebbe hiz mommy kin' help him 'splain how she kame up wif it.
Mommy don't know.

Bobbie (a gurl, but fang-fully not named Bobbie-Sue)

[Cheryl L. Rankin]

Stuff we like:

Bobbie: Singin' solos at da toppa my lungz,
Empty or full laundry basketz.

Dylan: Fresh newspaperz to shred to piecez

Tyler: Rubbery bracelet fingys

Samson: Divin' into wadder dishes (a new-found pleasure)
Sleepin' onna headboard of Mommy an' Daddy'z bed

When Ize was just a baby-cat my daddy came to pick me up and take me
home ... They put me ins a box and closeded the door.. I waz furry
skeered. Then we gotted in the MetelMonster and I cried n cried...
Daddy kept calling me a poor precious kitty...
We *finally* gotted home and Meommy asked what was my name and Daddy
said "Ize been calling her Precious. It stuck.
At first I waz really embarrassed, but now being a mature 4, Ize know
that I am precious. So the name fits!!!
I have a lil sister-cat named Squeaker.. who should have been named
Rowdy-Girl. She is not lady-like ats all!!!

Precious

I got my name because mommy likes dad name Tyler. Akchewally, da
name of the road where da humans 'ciety is is da Taylor road
an mommy's roommate Trish sayd "Hey, name him Taylor" an mommy
didn't like Taylor so she took out da 'a' an now I'm Tyler.
It's a good fing because Granpa's sisster hadda baby girl an
named HER Taylor, an dat wooda been confusing.

Tyler (the one with the boring "how I got my name" story)

Note from Mommy: If I had waited a while to name him he would
definately be Forrest Grump or Thud. Lucky for him I couldn't
stand to wait until I got to know him to name him. :-)

[Malinda McCall]

Let's see. I don't have a kitty of my very own (nor am I owned by a kitty
at the moment) but I can remember SOME kitty names' origins.

There was Missy, who was a papered and pedigreed purrfect grey Purrsian.
Her real name was Miss McCall From [Insert Overly Fancy Locale Name Here].
Missy had a bad temper and tried to scritch me when I was an infant. I'm
still not sure why I stayed and she went...

Then there was Whiskers, who was a handsome boyqat with a white bib and
white chin and the longest white whiskers poinking out of his otherwise
black self! He could scrape both sides fo a door walking through, my dad
used to say. Very proud of his mustache, he was. He got into an argument
with one of those metalmonsters and is no longer with us, unfortunately.

Then there was Socks, my all-time most favorite pussqat. She was named
after the kitty in Beverly Cleary's book, but she was not a boy or
stripey. She looked like a creamy grey Siamese with a round head but she
had white paws and a white chin. She was beautiful inside and out (sweet
disposition) and even her miaow was soft and pretty. She lived almost 17
years and would welcome us home. You'd see her through the French doors
but not hear her, it was funny.

I had a stray adopt me for a while, he was a boyqat who was all silver
grey with green eyes, big and tough. He was Smokey Jazz because he was
dignified and elegant like a jazz club, and smoke-colored.

Then there was my ex-roommate who has a cat who was black and white. I
suggested she name her cat "Domino" because he liked pizza and because of
his coloring. I can't recall where I saw that name for a cat, but I am
kind of proud to have remembered it. It fits.

Currently we are owned by my roommate's cat Fangus, an orange tom with
white tum and feet and chin. He was Butterscotch at first, and we called
him Scotty. Then we realized that this didn't fit, so he became Fang.
Fang sounds silly when you yell for him to come inside, so he is now Fangus.
It suits him.

Other cat names: Hershey (brown), Caesar (brown Siamese), Sergio (grey
Siamese), Benjamin, Wesley (Himalayans), Felix (long-haired black and
white 'mutt'), Josh, Oliver, Charlie, Puddy (brown Siamese cats), Anais,
Orbit, Alex, Natasha (grey striped kitties).

M

[robi...@avana.net]

Bunny:

I wuz orijnally named Franklin (don no why), then Daddy changed it to Fergus
(still don no why), but then Mama found out that if she held my ears back, I
looked like a baby bunny--that's where Bunny came frum. Then I sometimes forget
to pull my tongue in all da way when Ize washin, an a friend of hers called me
Teddy Bear Mouth, which got shortened to Bear. Now my full name is Bunny Bear
Cat, and sometimes Mama calls me Bunny, or Bun, or Bear, or Bunny Bear, or
Bear-Bear...

Blue:

I waz sposed to be Jake 2, cuz 'parently I looked sorta like another cat that
went to Rainbow Bridge a long time ago named Jake. But because of the way I look
at stuff with my big blue eyes, I got called Blue, an it jus stuck. Mom and Pop
also call me Nutty, Nutler, and Crazy cause I run thru da house mrantlin to my
self and chasin milk rings or things that no one else sees....

Wow, dis thread 'bout kittie names iz realreal inneressin'. Da older
black cat dat lives her wif us iz named Bette Davis. I hearded Mom
say dat when Bette was liddle (8 _whole years ago_!) she had real
pretty green eyes jus like da actress Bette Davis. But somewhere down
da line, her eyes changed from green to da prettiest gold color. I
like dem da way dey looks now.

Dere wuz a cat dat used to lif here named Earl Grey. He wuz a stripey
gray and brown cat wif more den a liddle Maine Coon in his background.
He got hurded by a metalmonster a year an' three days ago and went to
da Bridge. He wuz named that 'cuz after Mom 'n Dad founded him, Dad
din't want to keep him 'n thought that he should be sent to da hoomane
society for some udder fambly. Dad thought that if they din't give him
a name it'd be easier to give him 'way later. After three dayz uv
lookin' for anudder home, Mom suggested they call him Earl Grey (after
Dad's fivrite tea at da time). Mom knows all of Dad's weak points.
After dat, dere wuz no way he was gonna haf ta go 'way.

My sister iz a little tortiegirl named Megan. We don know why. We
heard dat she wuz 'sposed to be a Bridget. This waz cuz our peepul
had spended dere huneymoon in a place callded Ireland. But mom said
no, 'cuz she din't look like a Bridget. Its good dey din't name her
dat, cuz Megan suits her lots better.

I iz named Dublin, but mos' efurryone calls me "Dub" too. I iz named
after da capital of Ireland, which iz da mos' 'portant city in Europe.
Mom 'n' Dad want ta go back to Ireland some day, but dey tellz us dat
we cats can't go 'cuz dey got an somefing called "Qwaranteen" dere dat
dey say we wun't like. I wish I could go, 'cuz den alla Irishpeepul
('cept for da Corkmen) wuld treat me as real 'portant for bein' namet
after dere first city .

/s/Dublin

I like my name lotslots. I glad I din't haf ta be no Bridget.

Hello, Ms Precious (welcum to yu!),

Well, I wuz a growd up boykitty wen I found dis my reel true hous just
dis last Feb. I'd been in da Owt fur a longtime, I fink. Ennyway,
hoomindad wuz kinda laffin at my Persian face (noffink wrong wif my
face, reely) an sayin dat I lukked like an "Old Man", an wanted to
call me dat, but hoominmom din't like dat fur a name, so she changed
it to Omar. An dat's me.

Neko's name is "cat" in Japanese; Mietze's name is "kitty" in German.

Norville and his sister Pauley (RB)...well, hoominmom and hoomindad
watch *way* too much TV. Dat's all I'ze gonna say 'bout dat.

A kitty who liffed here way befor me was named Seymour, a girlkitty
who wuz named by a hoomin who din't know how to tell girlkitties frum
boykitties. (Silly hoomin!)

Omar
wif Norville, Mietze an Neko, too

(Note to Boris*...I nefur new da story ov yur spot before...most

A long time ago, our meowmie had a parakeet that she loved, but cudint
think of a name for her. So she called her Bird, and it stuck. Later
on, she had a green parakeet and a blue parakeet, and again meowmie
cudint think of names. She wud talk bout the blue one and the green
one, and their names became Thuh Blue One and Thuh Green One.

We sure iz glad that meowmie became better wif names when we came along!

I think you kittiez have reelreel interesting stories about how you gots
your namez.

My meowmy named me Josie after the character in the comic book "Josie and
the Pussycats" Ize a calico tabby, and the three characters in the comic
book had red hair, black hair, and platinum blonde (white) hair, just like
me!

My middle name is Marge, after Marge Simpson, because I makes growly
rumbly disapproving noises when I'm around Tilley Bear, the dog which
lives wif meowmy's parents. Marge Simpson makes the same noises when her
husband Homer does somefing badbadbad.

It's a gudgud fing dat I gots my name early on, cuz if meowmy had waited,
I'd probably be named Purrcy, Sweet Pea (gag!) or Little Hairy Butt once
she got to know me :-3

Hi effurykitty!  My name iz Harley, but it almost wazn't.  Meowmy couldn't fink of a name for me, so she was holdin me an sayin "what am I going to call you sugar?"  She 'cided to call me Sugar.  I was glad she 'cided on a name, so I purred and purred.  She told me "Goodness, you sound like a Harley!"  I didn't know what a Harley wuz then, but owr nay-bor got a small, but very loud metalmonster, so now I know.  So that's what meowmie called me.  Iz glad, cuz' I'm a manly boykat, and Sugar is a girley name!

Panda here, I like the name stories.

Mr. Lenny and Ms. Lucy is snoozin, so I tell.

Mr. Lenny and Ms.Lucy came as "Lenny and Lucy" when meowma found 'em in
the cages place. She thot 'bout changin 'em b'cuz they is furry
dig-nee-fied Meezers ('cept when Ms. Lucy shows hur tummie) but they
already answered to hur as Lenny and Lucy so dey didn't change. I haf
ta say "Mr" and "Ms" owta respek 'cuz I'm da liddle on'n'Mr. Lenny gets
grumpy.

I got a bedder name story, tho! I din't have a name befur the cages
place, an' when I got tuk there, they counted ally me toes and sed "hey,
itz a polliwog.. poliday.. ploddydog.. pteradactyl.. polident.. oh, that
Polly name, she got lotsa toes!" When meowma come to get me, me papers
sed "Polly".

Well, I din't feel like a Polly and I wudn't talkin to anyone who
calledme Polly (well, Iwasn't talkin, I was hiding in the cubbyhole fer
a wile) an Meowma had ta name me. She thot, "I need and L-name like
Lenny and Lucy" but she thot "She's a pretty blak and wite cat" and she
thot "Wot a good name for all dose toes?"... an' then she thot of big
Panda amnials, whot are blak and wite and hold things in their paws..
she thot this after I picked up a thing in my paws. But then she thot
"wadda bouta L name" and then sed "LADY Panda. LADY Panda of TOES".
And so I sed "Mrreeeeff!" and runned over to her feet. So me full name
is "Lady Panda of Toes".

I'm a liddle goof tho so everyone calls me Panda or Bonk, cept the TED
called me an' ole' boot.

Becky got her name frum when Pawz sister wuz gunna have a kitten. His
sister went to thuh pregnent hoomin TED who took an ultra sound ( even
though she didn't have one ) N she thought it was gunna be a gurl.

Paws sister N her husband agreed that ifz the kitten was gunna be a gurl,
she gits to name her, ifs itz a boy he gits to name it. Well, since Mr.
Ultra Sound sed it was a gurl, Paws sister had the responsibility of
comming up wiff a good name.

Paw went to lunch wiff his sister N they went to the book store N got a
hoomin kitten name book N sat out side N went though it. Paw sez they had
lotsa gud belly laffs going though thuh names. They (well, she) desided on
Rebecca fur the name of the hoonin kitten.

Well, when Paws sister had her kitten, IT WAS A BOY! (stoopid Mr. Ultra
Sound) They had this reel gud name N no place to put it. I fink Paw stuck
it in his back pocket fur later.

When wee adopted Paw. He had this reel gud name jist waiting to be atached
to a kittie. So he named Becky, Becky. Paw likes it cuz it reminds him of
the last truly care free afternoon he had with his sister.

Weze were named Punkins & Puddi Cat as affectionate names that our
original Meowmie (Meowmie's Meowmie) could call us and it wouldn't
matter which of us was which if she made a mistake. See she had
something called macular degeneration. Weze both torties, but I'ze
dilute and Punkins is full. She knew Punkins had more orange coloring
than I did so Punkins. I'ze a little bit bigger and got Puddi Cat.
Weze didn't mind, she loved us both.

Wen I wuz in Kittenhood, Meowmie cudn't tell wut I wuz (boy or gurl).
So she wanted tu name me sumthin' that cud go effur way. I have lotsa
toez, and meowmie sed I'z haff big Waffle-Stompin' paws. Then she
disided to call me Waffle. I wuz furry glad, cuz befor, she usta say
"Come on, Baby, what's your name?". Now, how wuz I 'sposta kno!!

Meowmie startid callin' thu cat-next-door "Stripey" becuz hez got
stripes all ofur. Then naybor movd away 'n axed if Meowmie wanted
Stripey and thu ufur cat. Meowmie sed "of course!" So Stripey 'n ofur
kitty were ourz! Ofur kitty iz furry sweet 'n cuddly, and haz a voice
lika squeaky toy. So we named him "Squeaky". Boy, Squeaky 'n Stripey r

I got named after a book person too! Mom needed a name wif an x in it,
since that was all I responded too. The kitty jail called me Alex but
she knew enough to see that wazzint my name. So then she thought of
the very smart "Cat WHo Walked Through Walls" in the Robert Heinlein
book and I got named Pixel.

Pixel, who doesn't know how the othercats heer were named, except fer
Tribble made a purring noise like those Star Trek Tribbles did

This is Sasha, a very *fluffy* big 'sis' to liddle Moose....

When meowmie brought home him home I wazn't furry happy at furst, but

of fluff, but he had Loooong gangly legs wif big 'ol pawz, and hiz

Hiz eers were 'bout as big as his whole body!! Meowmie said he looked like
a brand new baby Moose- we seen 'em on da Learnin' channel, and dey iz all

So, Moose he iz, and he finks itz his name cuz he iz a bigtuff

Itz sorta funny KitTen, cause Mom n Dad both thot I wuz a girlkitty when
I wuz small <hoomins! sheesh!> an they wuz gonna name me Aurora (just
like that smart and savvy Ms. Aurora SOC). TED told them I wuz a
boykittie, then asked fur a name so he culd put it on my record. Mom
looked at Dad an they just didnt know what ta do. Then, since they waz
thinkin of stuff in tha sky, Mom said - Orion, the Hunter, and Ize a
furry good hunter too!

But theyz just couldnt decide what ta name poor Boots. Furst Mom called
him Velcro, cause of the way they used ta have ta peel him offa their
bodies when he waz so small. Then Dad said - Charlie Velcro - and weze
thot that waz gonna be it. But noooo! Boots knew hiz name and he knew
it waznt Charlie (though he didnt mind so much about the Velcro part).
Since heze gray and white and haz a bit of gray on each paw - somewhere
- Dad called him Boots one night. He answered to it right away. Then
Mom called out "Boots" and he walked right to her. He had told them hiz
secrit cat name and that wuz that.

Hey KitTen, I say shur, ahff too winkwinks! Two is dubbul da fun, and
dubbul da luff. Unfurnately, my winkwinks are da best in the wurld so yu
cudn't hav as much fun as me, but I'm sure Pip and Sammy are reel nice
too. Ize don't hav any trubbul wif my "obligationz". Besidez, KitTen, if I
hav two winkwinkz and it wurked out, and yur name is like mine, then yu
will probly wurk out with two winkwinkz. However, it is kinda fun bein
known as da only (I think) kitty with two winkwinkz! Ooh, maybe we could
start a speshul club: CWSNTHTW (Cats With Similar Names That Have Two
Winkwinks) !!! Weze wud be da only two mempurrz, cus there isn't any
kitties who even hav names similar to our, let alone also have two

KitTen, that reminz me of how I got my name. Fur a while I had lots of
diffrent names cuz our famly cudn't decide on wun. But Alison started
callin me Kitsen which was da name of meowmie's fren, and I gess it waz
better dan da rest cuz it stuck. Then when I found rpc Alison wanted to
make my name sound furry dignified and speshul cuz I iz speshul, so she
made my full name Kitsen T. Kat (I hav never told anyone what da T stands
for, though in the Tufgirlkitty thred I joked that it stood fur Tuff). But
I go by everything from Kitsen, Kitsen Kat, Kitsen T. Kat, Kit Kat
(acshully I just made that up), and Kits. Oh, and I hav a speshul nickname
onlee my truluvz and my immediate family know.

We have something in common then...I wasn't named after Bob Dylan but
my meowmie named me after a character in one of his songs. She was

I almost got named "Magic" because she was watching the Lakers in the

Dis is an infurestin' thred bowt how kittiez got der names. Tu bad we don
haff gud stories on da subjec. Ize a calico tabby kitty so Mommy, who
isn't furry original, decided to call me Callie (fur Calico). Sumware
along da way, her frend started callin me Callie Sue 'n it stuck so dat's
my full name. Ize don reelly no why Maxwell is named Maxwell. Mommy sed
she wanted a tu syllable name dat cud be shortened 'n Maxwell jus seemed to
fit him. She konsiderd Samson also but Maxwell's glad she decided on
Maxwell (no offense, Samson - but Max jus isn't a Samson). Da kitty dat
lived heer fur awhile abowt a yeer ago (hissspit), J.B., got her name frum
her first hoomins. When day got her, Mommy's friend, Alice's, dotter was
in high skool 'n was datin' a guy who's nitials were J.B. 'n she wanted to
name J.B. after her boyfrend.

I was named after Mike Tyson, cuz I have HUGE feet with many toes and
mom thought they looked like boxing gloves. Mikey (whose whole family
was dumped)

I was named for Charlie Chaplin, cuz Mom said I looked like a Little
Tramp when she first saw me hiding under Dad's Jeep. Charlie (also
dumped)

I was named Pauline, cuz when Mom first saw me, I was living under
Pauline's porch in West Virginia. Pauline (yep. dumped, too)

Mom says names just "appear." Then she says, "...and so do cats!" We
don't understand. Mike, Charlie, and Pauline [who don't understand
dumping cats either]

Thuh similarities in our names just keeps on amazing me!

My full name is KitTen T. Kat. The 'T' stands for "The". I usually jist
go by KitTen. When signing legal documents, of cource I use my full name.

I wuz called K.C., short for Kittie Cat for a little while. It was
pronounced like Casey. Paw finks if he gets another cat (hissspit) he
would name it K.C/Kittie Cat/Casey that way one kittie cood have three
names.

Well, my name is Charlie - and this of course
means 'Charlemagne' the Great and Magnificant...

For those of you not so firm in history:
Charles the Great was a BIG KING with millions of
chicken pies in a palace made of plush, he had
golden litter boxes, scratching trees as high
as skyscrapers, and an army of slaves offering
goodies to him whenever he wanted some.
He's now living in heaven, along with Jimi Hendrix
and E.T.A. Hoffmann.
That's where is my name from!!

Only my Mom uses to tell a stupid story about
her favorite actor C. Chaplin - she always says
when I was a kitten I walked exactly like him...
Uh, I've watched that guy walking - no majesty,
no dignity, no nonchalance at all....

Guess she's badly in the need for
some glasses..

My granma had a cat named Yoda too! She says its because she has big
eers.

My name is Stinky because, well, sometimes I am!

-Stinky (and purrowd of it)

[Robert Pindell]

Our hoomin says that cats name themselves.
My full name is Kammerjäger Ärgernis Katze. Why it is is German our
hoomin never said. The name means Exterminator (like "pest control")
Nuisance Cat. Our hoomin said that when I was a kitten I was very
careful to inspect the corners for bugs many times every day. I also
caught lots of crickets and grasshoppers. I even had a big tarantula
cornered one time but the bigger hoomin scooped me up before I could do
anything to that bigbig spider. He also said that I was always under
foot and a nuisance. Kammerjäger got shortened to Jäger but I am still
a nuisance because it is funfunfun.

Jäger

I named myself too.
My full name is Dé jà vu Alloveragain. My hoomin said that I did
everything that Jäger had done when he was a kitten. So with me it was
"déjà vu all over again," as a certain baseball player once said. My
name got shortened too and I go by Dé jà vu. I know that it should be
"Déjà vu" not "Dé jà vu." I put the space in the middle of my name
because kitties all know how hoomins sometimesrunalltheirwordstobether
when they yell at us and I wanted to be different from those hoomins
thatrunalltheirwordstogether. After all my hoomin ran all the words in
part of my name altogether and I didn't like that.

Wez all got names that describe us. We also have alternate names to be
called when our given ones don't fit. Stinker, meowmie's first kitty,
was also called Sh*thead cause he was such an impish kitty.
Mellón's name means "Friend" and she is really friendly to efurryone.
Meowmie says she came right over to see her when she came to take her
home.
Harry's full name is Harry Houdini. Meowmie says he is the greatest
escape artist cat she has efur seen. Meowmie also thought he would be a
shorthair kitty. She is embarresed to say she has a longhaired kitty
named "Harry". Other hoomins think she named Harry after his fur.
I am called Bandit. Meowmie says I stole her heart when I played dead
in her back yard. Ize not stupid, It convinced Paw to let me IN. Meowmie
wasn't going to adopt me cause she said she had too many cats.

Meow, my name is Mittens and I got my name in a very similar way. When
I was a stray in the OUT in Pouncer's yard, I was called 'kitten'.
Pouncer knew me by that name so when my humans adopted me they needed a
similar name so Pouncer would know it. I'm a mainly black tortie
girlkitty with black legs and white paws, so they callen me Mittens.

[David Arnett]

Meow, my name is Pouncer. I think it's pretty obvious how I got my
name; I like to Pounce on anything that moved. 17 years later I still
pounce!

Mew, my name is Mittens. When I was a stary OUT kitty in Pouncer's
yard, the humans called me 'kitten'. When they toom me in, Pouncer knew
me by the name 'kitten' so they needed a name that sounded similar. I
have black legs and body with white paws so they named me Mittens.

Meow! My name is Shadow, and most hoomins fink it iz becuz I am a
greay-grey kitty.
Mommy sez that she named me Shadow cuz when she brought me IN from da
OUT, I follwed
her eferywhere in da house. Mommy & Daddy also call me Fuzzybottom
(dat's Daddy's idea)
and da Beast of Tweny Thousan Meows cuz I wake dem up at nite so's dey
can play wif me.
Mostly dey jus turn ofer && go back to sleep, tho. Silly hoomins. Don't

Yeah, we must be related iffn botha our hoomins speek Spanish. And if
KitTen is your winkwink, then I must somehow be related to hur, which must
be why we have such similar names!

U.S. law for quite some time did not allow for dual citizenship but I
believe the policy was changed. However, it only applies to hoomins.
Cats, being the superior creatures that we are, are under no obligation
to follow hoomin rules and can be the citizens of as many countries as
they wish. We do not need passports either. This makes for ease of
travel. Clarence, the President, I'm sure, will back me up on this.

hel O, Mom sez i can post stead of lurkin (bin lurkin 4 a wile). Ize
named Leia 'cause TED called me Yoda the furst time Meowmie took me 2
him (I onli wayed 1 pound then) I put mi ears down & look lik Yoda.

But Meowmie said i needed a gurl name (Ize a mostly white calico, so
it was pretty sur ize a gurl kitty), and Princess Leia was the onli
gurl in STar Wars. My liddle hoomin, Will, foought that a kitty wif a
Star Wars name would be gud!

After dey made up der minds to call me Leia, Daddee said he oncet new
a calico named Tearalong, the dotted lion. Meowmie tinks dat would
have been a gud name for me, tu, cause i act mor lik a lion than a
space princes! i am a luv bite specialist & like to pounce on pheet!

That's right. After the inauguration ceremony that we're having Monday,
all human laws will be changed anyway. I will be posting my inauguration
speech in the morning and soon VP Galaxy and I will be announcing

My hoomin found the hoomin rules the hard way. She wuz born inna US, but
wuz taken to KANADA when she wuz a baby. Then thu Kanadians wouldn't give
hur a passport 'cuz she was Americun, cuz she spent a cupple of months
there. The 'Mericans gave her a passport, but wanted hur to pay taxes,
On What?? She sed. Im a poor student wif no income.

No one effer asked me or Mandy what our na-shee-on-al-ty is!

Meomie is pretty sure we was both both born in Canada. Mandy wuz a
free-to-gud-home cat. Meomie hadda luk at Mandy's first home, and her
momcat. (No one seems to no who the dadcat wuz.)

Meomie was finiking about gedding a Siamese, but wun uf her hoomin frends
told her that there was a 'bandoned cat which was beein cot inna trap.
She luked at me fru the bars, sed 'She has a pritty face; she has to be
cheked out by TED The hoomins wif da trap sed why shud we pay TED's fees
... Noone 's going to pay TED's fees but Meomie.

TED sed I wuz helfy, and Meomie brot me home.

Vivian lighten up. The thread is plainly marked "MEOW" if you do not
care for the phonetic style then you may skip them easily. However, it
is not "baby talk", you may be interested to know that there are people
in Britain who actually have a dialect where the words "thing" is
pronounced "fing", "anything" is pronounced "anyfing", etc. Kate

I can't really tell you what I think, as my Grandmother raised me to
be more of a lady than that.
When I first joined RPC I too found MeowChat to ba annoying and,
well, downright stupid. But, I took the time to read some and soon got
caught up in all the stories that the 'cats' had to tell and was very
entertained.
And yes I admit it, I too have started posting in MeowChat, and have
found everyone there so nice, warm and welcoming, that I plan to stay a
long time!
Being virtually housebound I have come to depend on the friends that
I have made on-line.
If you don't like MeowChat _don't read it_. Its really that simple.
The vote should be soon, and you can make your voice heard there. I
feel sorry for anyone that has to resort to name calling to get their
point across. To me it just seems childish.

Gosh, I am sorry you are so worked up over stories about how cats got
their names. Some of us think they are cute, and this one was clearly
marked in a MEOW thread, so ANYONE can easily ignore it - they don't
have to run away.

And BTW - the no archive command doesn't work too well when others
follow up with the article with the whole thing and your name
included, which I do to all who try to hide rude posts
