What Should You Name Your Cat?
Cat names are fun, since they aren't usually limited to what one usually thinks of as "people names", like Jack or Mary. You can name your cat for what he looks like (Boots or Snowflake for example), after your favorite movie (say, Hidalgo), for your mother, or for your first car! Be creative, have fun. It doesn't much matter what you call your cat, since he won't pay much attention to it anyway! But do think about how it sounds "in public". Like when you go to the vet or the groomers. Or calling him when he gets out. Think about running through the neighborhood calling "Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell!" and see how comfortable you'd be with that!
