sorry, I couldn’t resist…
I’m looking at a map of California, and I think “what a silly name–Big Sur” , and then my cat jumps on my lap, starts her usual purr, and think “hey, that rhymes”…
Sorry, again.
It just sorta occurred to me in a flash
Really.
That’s all.
Only if I wanted to start every single day by punching myself. That is truly, truly horrible.
hmmm, how about Sur Pur?
Giraffe I know you have a cat. I saw a nice picture of your cat looking at your sandwiches in the toilet. I think this Big Pur thing is going stick with you for awhile! Hee heee heeeee!
Well if you lived in Wester Pennsylvania,you couldname your cat Pitts-purr-gh.
I think it’s a great name!
I think you’re, uh, thinking of someone else. I never, um, ate any sandwiches out of the toilet…
[sub]Damn you, Mullinator!!![/sub]
Regardless of any cats I may or may not have, I stand by my condemnation of Big Pur. That is truly awful. Why not just name the cat Mr. Big Fuzzy Tuff-kins, change your own name to Jean Teasdale and be done with it?
My brother got a pair of cats, so he called them Minneapolis and Saint Paul - the twin kitties 
Hey don’t be insulting U Haven’t been to Big Sur have ya? It means ‘Big South’ & Point Sur means ‘Point South’.
It’s really beautiful there. Wouldn’t a cat be more like Big Fur?
So far I have resisted the temptation to name a female cat “Fur Elise”.
When we found our male cat, I wanted to name him “Chairman Meow.”
I think “Catty Bumppo” would be a good name.
Big Pur?
[hacks up hairball in corner]
Ah, much better now.
Perhaps Pfiffer or Nepenthe.
Only with a gun to my head would I opt for, Big Pur.
Well, let me tell you my cat, Sir Meows-a-Lot,
likes big butts and he can not lie
You other cats can’t deny
That when a kitty walks in with an itty bitty waste
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung…
okay, I don’t actually have a cat, but if I did…
Mine’s JuniPurr. But I am seriously thinking of changing it to MadMax. He’s all ferocious. Not a sweetie unless he wants feeding.
Which is most of the time, actually. He even sleeps on the cupboard over the food dish. Laying in wait. Or maybe Jabberwocky would be a good one…
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
I name cats after the way they act when I first see them. e.g.
Slasher.
