Cinnamon because of her coloring. She is a tordie.
Abby was named by the lady that rescued her. I was told she knew her name so we kept it. I'm not sure if she did before, but after a few days we us she did because I use it when talking to her.

My "middle" cat, eight year old Otto, was named after a character from the British comedy series "Allo Allo". My youngest kitty, one year old Anya, was named after a demon from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"... and certainly lives up to the name sometimes, too!

Lets see: First cat 3 yrs old Figaro (what else do you name a tuxedo cat I am going to have to get a picture of me and him with one of those bow tie collars and me dressed up in my tux. I think I'll send it off to Playboy asking for an invite to one of Hef's parties. (Hey Hef! I am bringing my own puss... CAT) Second cat (Middle child) 2,5 yrs old Tito Got him from a friend who's cat had kittens. When I took him to the vet right after I picked him up I did not have a name for him. When I went to check him in the receptionist asked me for his name. Well, he was curled up asleep in the carrier way in the back. He was such a tiny gatitio ( spanish for kitten) I just said Tito. It stuck. Now he is 15+ lbs of well... cat Must be a Maine Coon in his background somewhere (big like one with the bushy tail and ear tufts). Third cat 1.5 yrs old Antonio Found in my front yard underneath my steps. Named after the gardener in "The Marriage of Figaro" Will post a picture at alt.binaries.pictures.animals of the boys. One of the rare times they were all together. See if you can tell which one is the mischievous one. .. |

Bootsie -- I'm afraid we were very un-original on that one. She has four white
feet. Yoda--Had HUGE ears and a pointy nose when he was little. My son used to pull his ears down and say, "Use the Force, Luke." Frank--Blue eyed Siamese, Named after Frank Sinatra, the original ole Blue Eyes. Biskit -- We were watching Seabiscuit when she strayed up at the window, and plus, she kneads all the time. Vet said she was "making biscuits." Jack--(RB)--We found him in a taped-up box in the driveway. "Jack in the Box." Cherokee (RB). No clue. The kids came up with that one. Sherry |

I did a google and found out that it was Hasbro that produced them, but they
were based on the Romper Room Punching Clown (or bop-bag). Read more about them he http://www.bigredtoybox.com/articles/weebleindex.shtml or http://tinyurl.com/3dzkd -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
