A Pair of Cat's Names
Okay, I need a pair of cat's names. Two kittens, probably littermates,
about 3 months old. The boy is black/white, the girl is grey/white. They belong to my neighbor but tonight they are staying with me because I want to take them for their vaccinations. (The neighbour wouldn't bother with this.) So, I need temporary names for them when I take them to the animal hospital tomorrow. Any ideas? Tux and Tails? p |

Oh, no, he doesn't ever get called that. It is a slang name in the UK for a penis and it's not funny for a cat name and well you know it. I like you less for this suggestion. Is "John Thomas" considered vulgar or something? I mean, it's not out of the realm of possibility that I might name a cat Willie or Dick or Peter or Johnson, even though those names all mean "penis" in the US. (OK, I doubt I'd name a cat "Johnson". Probably not Dick either. ) But I wouldn't name a cat, say, "Pr*ck", which has a much more vulgar connotation, not to mention it being an epithet. Poor kitty, it would be like you were insulting him every time you said his name! I have a hard time believing that "John Thomas" is *that* rude - I mean it must be a pretty common name over there - but I defer to the UKers on that one. Joyce |

Why not "Ozzie" and "Harriet" ? (From the old TV series.) |

A Pair of Cat's Names
Okay, I need a pair of cat's names. Two kittens, probably littermates,
about 3 months old. The boy is black/white, the girl is grey/white. Thinking of English history, Lady Jane (Grey). So the boy gets to be called John Thomas to match. Oh, no, he doesn't ever get called that. It is a slang name in the UK for a penis and it's not funny for a cat name and well you know it. More a literary allusion. D.H.

Why not "Ozzie" and "Harriet" ? (From the old TV series.) I'm old enough to remember the series, but Ozy and Millie are furry webcomic strip characters (http://www.ozyandmillie.org/), as are Dan and Mab (http://www.missmab.com/). Ozy and Millie are foxes; Dan is a feline incubus and Mab is a fae-kitty. -- T.E.D. ) Remove "gearbox.maem" to get real address - that one is dead |

If so, you will know that John Thomas means what I said before and it not a fit name for a cat. Tweed I used to know a young man (when I was also young) named John Thomas. I believe there was also a fairly well-known opera or classical singer in the U.S. by that name. Joy |
