Does anyone remember, a couple of years ago, police were called, as it had been reported that, by the Thames, someone was heard calling for help.
Police turned up. Someone had been calling for Help - it was the name of her cat :-D

You may (or may not) have seen our dog Dick, his photo was on here last week. If you looked at the pic you would understand how he got his name :-D

Friend has a beautiful Staffie, lovely nature. When she was a pup he couldn't think of a name for her, until someone said "she's so friendly, she'll go home with anybody"........... that's when she got her name........ Paris.

:-D

Our two young Siamese x Bengal cats (twin brothers) are called Eric and Ernie because we couldn't stop laughing at their antics when they were kittens. Had we known how they'd turn out they would have been Ronnie and Reggie.

Our beloved ginger boy who died a few years back was Nuts (Gingernuts).

The highly strung white Angora cat was Princess Hissy Fit of Boxroom ('cause she had them and hid in there)

Years ago we had a little black persian cross that was called Minjella when we got her, we shortened it to Minj. Never realised that it had rude connotations until she fell out the bedroom window, landed in a bush and ran off in fright (unhurt). Mr C went out looking for her and was checking the neighbours gardens in the dark when one of them came out and asked what he was doing. "Looking for Minj" he replied. We changed her name to Betty.

Scozz :-D :-D :-D (Paris)


A friend in Portugal picked up an abandoned Jack Russell type dog.
He's called Prickles, because, like Dick, the first, most notable thing about him was obvious :-D

Marie :-D :-D :-D It's always a good idea to say the names out loud.

Calling 'Mister' (one of my cats) could cause problems, but as I believe I'm considered a bit of a 'Mad old bat', my calling Mister's name at midnight results in the 'youff' running away :-D

Our gorgeous blue/cream British Shorthair is Mirabelle. We got her from the cats protection at aged 7 months and she already had that name from the breeder. She is now 16,and going a bit senile like us lol

Our previous old ginger muggy was PussPuss .he was our daughters cat originally that she had from 8 weeks old . She didn't know what to call him and would say to him come on little puss or here puss puss when calling him and the name stuck . We took him over at .18months old when she moved into an upstairs flat in Wilshire when her army husband got posted there and PussPuss wasn't able to settle .he lived to 17plus

We haven't a pet now but our Jack Russell was called
Hitchcock, and we still miss him

Our first cat was a stray and we named her Misty. I'm a Johnny Mathis fan, liked the name and it was not dissimilar to "mystery" - and it was mystery where she had come from.

The second was Oliver who already had the name when we got him. This invariable got shortened to Ollie - Ollie the Wally (and he was!!)

Our present cat is black and white and called Felix. He was a stray and when my mother in law took him in she decided he looked just like the cat on the tin. I often think he should be called Charlie - because he's a right one!!
