I thought I'd throw open the blog for everyone to send me samples of unusual, hysterical, rhyming-you name it-pet names-perhaps with a brief sentence or two about WHY they are worthy of comment. You may send them to my email jkleven@sailsinc.org, and after I get another list, I'll publish them here. Meanwhile, I'm enclosing my list of laughable and intriguing names that I've come across lately.
Judie's Felines:
Literary: Jane Eyre(Bronte), Emma Woodhouse(Austen)
Siamese: KoKo & Yum Yum (Gilbert& Sullivan's Mikado), Tuptim (The King and I).
Scottish Folds: Robert the Bruce (historic hero), Fiona MacDougal(FEE!), Lorna Doone-
Blackmore(historical novel and shortbread cookie)

Quentin Tabbytino (Siamese is determined to direct a movie)
Meowsolini-Bucky cat is a bossy, overbearing, tan & brown s-i-a-m-e-s-e
Ditto: Kitty Amin, Ghenghis Khat
Others of note:
Entropy-cat who couldn't walk a straight line, or much at all-so was inert, as his name indicates.
Sugar-ironic moniker of library staffer's ball o' fluff who was mean as they come-sister of Pepper & Salt
Snappy-beloved cat of children's librarian-- however lived up to her name-very cranky.
