Oh, that's funny! I've never seen one of those, although I have a vague
memory of the "Weebles wobble..." phrase from the commercials. Was this a
70s thing? I didn't have a TV back then, so I missed a lot of popular

I didn't realize you'd named him after that. It's perfect! Although he
probably doesn't wobble too much any more.

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.

The names that we choose for our pets all have different meanings and
origins. I was just looking to see if anyone had any interesting
stories about how they came up with the names of their pets.

I'm a TV freak so my cats' names are all from TV shows. Ned, my
eleven year old black and white panda-esque cat, was named after a
character on the soap "General Hospital". 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.

Nope, not wobbly in the least - last time he wobbled was when he got back
from TED after being 'snipped', and that was in December

I do go around kinda singing to him "Little Weeble Wobblybottom, I'm so very
glad I got 'im - even though his bottom ain't so wobbly any more"

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
