Names for Cats
Everyone knows my name is Coffee, but I wonder if you know why? When He and She brought us home from esspeeceeay my papers said my name was Hank. She said I don't look like a Hank, although She couldn't say what a Hank is supposed to look like. She considered very carefully and decided I looked like the color of coffee-the-drink with cream in it. She decided to name me after that stuff She loves as much as She loves me, so I became Coffee. My sister's papers said Casey, but She said that sounds like a boy''s name, so She changed it to Kasey. It didn't sound different, it just looks different. I could have told Her that Kasey wouldn't care. Our next-door cat was named Katie, but when she came to live with us, Katie sounded too much like Kasey, so She changed it to Kate. That worked very well, until Kate got tired of being an indoor cat and sneaked outside. He and She coaxed her but Kate wouldn't come in, so she was gone. I'm glad she left before the fleas came in here. She would have hated those fleas. Before we came here to live, They had a cat named Charlotte. That was her name when she came here to live, and She didn't change it. Charlotte used to belong to Her beloved Mazie, so it was OK to leave it. Poor Charlotte died from eating some bad cat food in a can, which is why they only give us dry kibbles. That is fine with us. Before Charlotte, He and She had dogs instead of cats. When the dogs were used up, She didn't want more dogs, because they are more work than cats. (ahem)Before the dogs there were two cats that they named after playing their favorite game. There was one named Finesse. She looked like a Siamese cat, but she wasn't. They said that was a clever finesse. When They went to get Finesse, They saw her scraggly sister. They were afraid no one would want this kitten, so He and She decided to take it along, to be sure it got plenty of love. Since this was one more than They needed, They named her Overtrick. The funny thing was, when Overtrick grew up, she was gorgeous. They love dogs and cats just the same, but She is too old to take a dog for a walk, and they would have to let it outside, and then clean up its poop. They decided on pets that use a litterbox, which is much simpler. He keeps it very clean. Even Kasey appreciates that. Well, that's all the pets They have had that I can remember hearing about. She is very particular about pet names. My name makes me feel quite loved. Toodles.
