A Pair of Cat's Names
"Jack Campin - bogus address" wrote in message ... 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. Lawrence, look it up. Oooohh. How patronising. Maybe I forgot, then, that I read it in Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence. Should I look it up again? It means what I said in the first place and is not a fit name for a male cat unless you want to make a fool of him. You are aware of this so I'm not sure why you suggested it to an American, who isn't. Tweed |

As smart as cats can be, I would not expect any cat to know or care what that name means. And even if they did know, cats are not cursed with human uptightness about body parts, so I doubt it would matter. So I wouldn't worry about the name's "fitness" for a cat. Especially considering, as we have been over the past couple of days of this thread, that quite a few *human* males sport that name! Joyce |

It's not that the cat cares or minds what his name is. It's a matter of dignity. John Thomas is not a fit name for a cat. You might as well call him "Pr**k here in the UK or whatever slang name you use for penis in the USA. It's just not on. Tweed |

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? Flippy. Jack ad Jill |

him "Pr**k here in the UK or whatever slang name you use for penis in the USA. It's just not on. IMO, the point is moot, anyway, since no one is likely to summon a cat by "Here, John Thomas" - far more likely it would be shortened to "Here, Tommy" in no time flat! I know somebody who moved from Germany to Finland with her cat. She'd named it something cute and meaningless in German, which happened to be spectacularly obscene in Swedish (this was a Swedish-speaking part of the country). And the cat would *not* come in unless you called it loudly by its old name. It is not a good idea to try annoying your local fundies by naming your cat "Allah" or "Jesus Christ". Far too many people are likely to call it. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |
