Fleabiteus....Flea for short.....not hard to figure out.
Bandicoot....promptly established his name after thanking us profusely for the rescue.  Teresa Cruse

JULIE'S CATS

We're nominating Skeech for weird cat name.  Skeechis Siamese...Scheech is named Skeech because she does not meow like a normal cat.  She makes a high-pitched Skeeeeech noise...so, therefore, she got her name.  We also have Max, whose full name is Maxwell Silverhammer.  He is a mixed cat we got at Warehouse for Pets when he was a baby.  He is named after the Beatles song.  Julie Guthrie

A few years ago...a sweet black and white neutered male showed up at my parent's farm to take up residence there. He earned his keep by being so nice to everyone, even the dog...and was an excellent lapcat. He had most of one ear and a back leg missing. We never knew where he came from or what he had been through.....but it was nice to know that he had found a home...My little son declared his name "Tripod".  Sherylann

MARTA'S CAT

We named our cat "Nosferatu," which by the way means undead or immortal in Romanian, but we named him that because he seemed mysterious and looked and acted vampire like.  He came to my door in typical vampire fashion; at night, in the raining season and didn't come in until I told him, "Come in" (Remember the old wives tale that vampires can't gain entry until they're invited.) This went on for two days. The third day he slept over. He is a Russian Blue/alleycat and had a regal aire about him, though he came to us with nothing but the fur on his back. We thought he looked like a bat from day one, all bluish gray, with those oversized ears, piercing greenish yellow eyes, and fangs that stuck out even when closed mouthed.  He purred for hours when I held him and I was going to name him Vibrator, but it was a bit risque and naming him Murcielago (Spanish for bat was outta the question).  So was Nemesis since he was a boy cat, but he looked like his name should be unique, exotic, and strong sounding..I thought, Vladimir or Tepish, as in Dracula, and then my husband thought...What about Nosferatu. And the cat responded as if we did, in fact, guess his name...he turned around toward us as soon as my husband said it..and then I said it, and one of his ears went sideways toward me, and he walked toward us right away. He still has a mysterious aire about him, would leave at dusk and arrive before dawn with gifts for his beloved hosts (rat, bunny, crow, potato bugs, and lizards)...usually they're alive (they're a lot more fun for him that way).  His hunter prowess is unbelievable, since he brings these gifts through two cat doors to our room!!!! He has run away recently though while I was on vacation 2 weeks.  I put signs out and checked the pounds and nothing for a month now. The emptiness was so great I began to draw him thinking at least I have my memories of him. I drew him realistic, cartoonish, and even pondered if he left this world and drew him with angel wings, bat wings, and regreted not painting him like I was intending to in different styles, like Picasso, Botero (since I'm Colombian), and even Edvard Munch style. So when I saw your work, I absolutely died and thought about synchronicity..how was I led to your sight? Why of all cats did you pick a Russian blue for your work? and I read why . Thanks to you I got out of my depression. The picture moved me enough to laugh.   You have brought back my sense of hope and sense of humor. I want to order this picture.  Thanks for your beautiful work, endearing comments.  Sincerely, Marta

KAREN'S CAT

I have a sweet and lovable old lady cat who adopted us one fine morning over 19 years ago!  My Mama was visiting, and we were all in the kitchen getting the coffee made, when we heard a scratching on our mudroom door.  I opened the door, and a fluff of black and white fur bounded in and made herself at home!  Well.......she decided to keep us, and my Mama gave her the name of "Intruder," which we sometimes shorten to "Trudi."  Trudi is now a healthy old age of 19+, and has given us many happy years of love and cuddling, and we're so happy she chose our house!  Karen Madden

KEN & SHERRY'S CAT

Nippissing came to us after her older sister was killed in a car accident.  She was, and remains, half feral, nervous, after twelve years, that we will do something insane and horrid to her.  She avoids people she doesn't know, and will only come to us on occasion; primarily she comes when she wants stroked, where she purrs madly and fans her tail out from the base, almost to the tip if she is very relaxed.  Her eyes are crossed, (did I mention she is Siamese?) and she has a darling, round, country cat face instead of the triangular, pointy face like a show cat.  Her point of focus is, about, eight inches in front of her nose.  Pretty meek and mild, huh?

She is the most vicious and successful hunter we've ever had in our history of cats.  She will go on safari for up to two weeks in the summer, coming back slimmer, but sleek.  She's fed herself.  She'll eat a few bites of cat food and sleep for two days.  She brings live game onto the back porch, while yowling to announce her arrival, and will frequently leave stomachs and tails on the porch.  One summer we were gone for two weeks.  When we returned, she had lined up five tails of various rodents on the entry rug of the porch in perfect parallels.  This is when we realized her heroic name is Tiny Bloodbath.  Ken and Sherry Shenstone
