He is a beautiful cat. Too bad his name doesn't fit.

I'd say it's a *good* thing his name doesn't fit.

Although, we can't really tell, can we? He *looks* great, but how
does he smell?

He has absolutely no smell-- his body, anyway. It's quite remarkable.
you can put your nose right up against him, take a good long pull, and
smell-- absolutely nothing.

When I brought him home, he was a scraggly, skinny six-month-old with
rough, sticky fur, a long skinny neck, enormous ears, a bad case of
FAR, and left prodigiously smelly things in the litter box. He also
had the sweetest, friendliest, most trusting, relaxed, beautiful
disposition imaginable. I took him to the vet to be cleaned up amd
neutered, and when I went to get him, the vet tech said "Oh, everyone
here LOVES him! He is the sweetest little fella."

He was then, and he is now, except it didn't take long for his looks
to match his personality. A friend of mine says that Stinky "glows
with amiability," and he really does.

Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal
claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful.
(Aldous Huxley)

So, if you were to rename him what would it be? Do you have a "love
name" for him? MLB

I wouldn't rename him.

But I call him Stinkycat, or Stink or Monsieur Stinky, or Monsieur Le
Stinkitude, or Mr. Stinky, or Stinkadink, or Stinkybutt. I call him
Dr. Stinky sometimes, and when my nephew was born, I called him Uncle
Stinky. Or Loudmouth, or Nosy, or Little PinkyNose. Or Monster, or
Picklepuss, or Banana (I don't know why), and Ketzel. I call him
Nutball and Goofball, and Dingbat quite a lot.
I also call him Stinky Dear, and Stinky Baby.

There is a story on the newsgroup about a cat (RB) named Banana .
Arthur Shapiro, who writes in occasionally, is the author. It is a
great story --- i f you can find it, read his other stories also. I
have it bookmarked, but cannot find the URL.
