Ya see, I have a small tradition (one of the few) in my life where I name all my cats things that end in “O”. I have no idea how I accidentally ended up with two in a row, but that’s the theme I always want to keep. So, although I’m not in the market for a new kitty just yet, I’d like to start a list so that I’ll be prepared when the time comes. What I’ve already had: [ul] [li]Romeo[/li][li]Toto[/li][li]Indigo[/li][/ul] What others close to me have had and I don’t wanna gank: [ul] [li]Echo[/li][li]Bongo[/li][li]Opalo 😛 [/li][/ul] And I’m sure there’s more that I’ve forgotten but will be reminded of upon sight. I promise not to keep you hanging in suspense if that’s the case. We gotta make sure everything’s above board and legitimized in the Feline World ™. Can you guys help me out? The more I get, the better. Variety being the spice of life and all. ---

Shakespeare is full of characters with O at the end of their names. To name a few: Orsino - Twelfth Night Petruchio - Taming of the Shrew Horatio - Hamlet Banquo - Macbeth Gratiano, Bassanio, Lorenzo, Salarino and Salanio - Merchant of Venice (Lorenzo is also in Will Ferrel’s ELF. “‘Lorenzo’. That’s a fun name!”) Othello, Brabantio, Cassio, Iago (which is also the bird in Disney’s Aladin) - Othello Prospero - The Tempest ---
