I have had 6 black cats which I named Corbin.
Corbin derives from a Welsh word for coal bin ( at least I was told).

Years ago an apparently abandoned dog showed up on our property...so...we took it in...
wasn't the first, wasn't the last.. Good friends we knew had a son, about 11 years old who was an avid baseball fan.. he knew history, he knew statistics...AVID. We asked him to come up with a name for our new adoption. He said "I'll pick a name of a baseball player. What a ...[text shortened]... ondent, but suddenly jumped up and shouted "I GOT IT!....BABE RUTH!

And so, Babe Ruth it was.

Unfortunately I can't share my pets names as they feature too strongly in my passwords. 🙂

I mean names for pets. What, and why? They are part of your life. Tell us about them.

I had an adorable hedgehog, boomer, she owned the garage. I would stash kibble bits around so she would have to hunt and gather. Oh man, she stole my ficking bag of weed. I forgave her, but why did she do this in the first place.

Zero (the Hero) - cat renamed, previously Dennis.
Phoebe - a cat, because I liked the name (way before "Friends"😉
Webster - cat, he had webbed front feet
Smokie Joe - cat, adopted aged 10 years and lived to be 21. He was already named.
Floyd - GSD x Border Collie, named after Pink Floyd

An ownerless cat drifts about the neighbourhood, sometimes snoozing on our patio in a basket we leave out for the purpose. We have dubbed the cat "Wild Thing."

Although an atheist, I worship cats.

Only two names should be allowed for pets: Archibald and Lassie.
But if you really like your dog or cat (petting other animal is sick, and I don't mean pet in sense of pre-sex caressing all right), you'll call them "Buddy".
Coz they will be your only buddies, unless you live in an imaginary world.,

I once named a kitten Napoleon. He was brought to my apartment, and the first thing he did was stroll over to me, climb on my lap, and push off of my lap the cat that was already sitting there.

I had a kitten born with deformities - twisted spine, club feet, never grew bigger than a mouse. She liked to sleep in my shoe.

Name of Hobbit.

Give a dog food, love, and shelter, and it thinks you're a god. Give a cat food, love, and shelter, and it thinks it's a god.

The cats here can open doors.

They tell me to do it for them. Plus apparently they require water sometimes.
