	I have a lovely Black Cat -- thos she is not Male or a Siamese like the one in Bell, Book and Candle , Her name is Pyewacket----Pye for short 4 months ago by apriledawn
	My little Calico and her one and only litter had some unique names. DotDot.com, or just DotDot, got her name in two ways. First, I played dot to dot with her spots but more so because she would chase the mouse on the computer screen. Due to the .com in her name we named all five or her babies with technology names. They were: Gigabyte, Harddrive, Modem, Cali.com and Meowse. The reasons for these names were: always eating and twice as big as the litter mates, always instigating fights or play (I don't think she ever slept), Always making some kind of noise, also a calico and finally the runt of the litter who squeaked when he meowed. 6 months ago by Anonymous
	What a helpful topic! I was really concerned with naming my two new orange tabby kittens well. As similar as their colorings were, these litter mates have turned out with really different personalities. The names we selected, Twix and Pacer Stacktrain, ended up being perfect for their personalities. 6 months ago by Anonymous
