Finally - a name

As many of you know, DH and I are both auto racing fans and yet neither
of us felt that the name Mario fit our little black cat. Every time I
tried it out I'd see that obnoxious little guy from the video games.
None of the M names seemed right. TED thinks he's around 1.5 y/o and he
has very sharp little kitten teeth and claws. After he attacked my toe
(aka blanket mouse) and left it bleeding I considered Bear or Badger and
although Bear seemed to work DH didn't like it. I tried other names
that just didn't fit but there was one that I kept coming back to. He
has the look. He has the teeth and he has the claws. So our little
black cat is now Barnabus. And he seems pleased with that name

inside where it is warm and dry)

My maternal grandmother had a d*g named Barney. His mother was a Spitz
named Polly and his father was a vagabond Airedale. I was about eight
years old. Thanks for the memory. MLB

Great name! He knew what his name was all along - you just had to figure it out!

Snowball was out in it for hours. Avery went out long enough to get
soaked ... twice. Fleagor went out but came back in so quickly only
his tail got wet (when he turned around on the top step, his tail
swung under the eves drip). The others didn't even try to go out.

According to the weather radar, we (south central Missouri) were north
of the winter mix area and were getting snow - the radar was wrong.

I don't think she named him after Barney, I think Barnabus Collins of
Dark Shadow fame is more likely. The little vampire kitty sneaks up to
her feet and bites the toes through the blankets. Satiated, he ghosts
into another room and looks for prey of the feline kind...

Pam S. liking Barnabus, but afraid of those fang thingies
