    I see!

    I was wrong on two counts (size and gender) so it seems.

    My first post has been updated btw, with our cats' various thousands of nicknames. It doesn't really confuse them that much I don't think... shouldn't make much difference, I think they're probably both thick as pig shit anyway

    We love them really.

    I also have some videos of myself playing guitar. Here they are.

    That's a lot of nicknames!

    Molly gets called Fanny, because she is one (she's not the brightest spark, I'm afraid) and her name was nearly changed - I wanted to call her Darwin, but as she answered to Molly (& now Fanny) Mrs Z "suggested" we leave her as Molly.

    It does seem to be cats in particular that aren't very bright, doesn't it?

    Baz isn't the sharpest tool in the box either... he sometimes used to be addressed by a fairly un-PC word that rhymes with his name... I shall say no more than that... I've stopped calling the little fella by that name anyway, felt sorry for him.

    He's quite a weird little kitteh... he's less nuts now than he was but he's always been very shy and retiring, and scared of loud noise etc. where Molly would be absolutely fine in the same situation. When he was younger he was properly neurotic - the toaster popping up or the doorbell going used to scare the living crap out of him and you wouldn't see him for dust.

    We reckon it might have been something that happened to him when he was very young, certainly nothing we did but something that traumatised the poor little guy. He's much saner now than he was, though...

    Our cat: Saffron (My sister's cat, hence the rubbish name)





    We've also got another cat called Thomas, he just turned up and adopted us - big old Ginger Tom who, according to the chip he has, is a dog called Thomas. Hence his name.

    As cat names go I found my Dad was the best at dishing out cat names, he used to have a couple of cats: Sherpa Tenzing and Baldrick.

    They're far smarter than we are. Think: you get free food, a massage every day, and you get to sit on strange women's laps without getting your face slapped!

    They don't write down their rules, go out to work, or pay taxes either.

    True, yes... but they have a disconcerting habit of running across roads without looking (sometimes with disastrous consequences, RIP Millie ) and actually enjoy eating that shite we call "cat food"...

    This thread constitutes the internet jumping the shark.
