My brother’s friends named my cat Jesus. Jesus is a good name, and as with Jack, you get funny looks when you talk about your cat’s antics. Like how Jesus showers with me, or likes to kill things. I’m going to hell. -Lanna ---

I have two tomcats named **Havoc** and **Ruckus.** For your cat, I like **Chaos** because **Pandemonium** is too long. If you want literary, may I suggest… **Friday** or **Ishmael**? ## Or… Norse God of mischief… **Loki** Take care. ---

I like Anecdote. My mother wanted to name her kitten Leroy Brown (meanest cat in the whole damn town) when she was little, but her sister’s vote of “Fluffy” won out. My mother has always been bitter. If my cat (Tiki) had been a male, she would have been Leroy in a SECOND. * * * A little persistance goes a long way. Announcing: “I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig! ---

Thanks guys. Under is still leading (it’s growing on me), but Anecdote is a close second. Can’t use Loki, because that used to be my nickname. I was thinking maybe Hunin if I was going to get another one (to call Munin), but I don’t think I am. And yeah, I know they were ravens. ---

My cats names are Boo and Rudy. Fishmonger - it’s from Shakespeare Goatfeltcher (one word) (K)potassiumIodideTransTelomeraseYtrium - it doesn’t make any sense, but you’re friends won’t know that (unless they are chemists like me) and it’s anagramical (is that a word?).
