If you posted before, please do again. Name of pet, species, gender, nickname(s), other relevant/amusing details welcomed and encouraged. Also irrelevant, mundane, and possibly boring details.

Four cats, not only do they not have nicknames, they don’t even have names. Only descriptions. Boy cat, girl cat (which they claimed by being the first ones), siamese cat, and ugly cat. Cats don’t respond to names, so I don’t bother. ---
