It isn't about the name or the description, it about the heart of the
animal/person.

Indigo was also a perfectly decent name. Pickle was the name that Cary
chose
for the short haired cat previously known as Casper, Kunks & T.D. (in
that
order). Pickle is a strange name, but he answered to it immediately and
it
seemed to fit, so it stuck - I mean, what do you expect if you let a 3
year
old name a cat?

My friend's three year old named their new Irish Wolfhound puppy
"Telegraph." Don't ask why because, years later, the young lady
herself doesn't know. Tellie lived about nine years, which is long for
a wolfhound but it sure wasn't long enough for that little girl. The
name really worked out all right and so will "pickle."

But it gets a little more interesting. Are any of you familiar with the
kids
show Higglytown Heroes? And do you know what the Higglytown heroes say
instead of swearing?

Would you believe its...

You guessed it,

They say "Oh Pickle".

So my darling 3 year old named his cat with the worst 3 year old's swear
word he could think of.

Not coincidentally, "PICKLE!!!!!" has become somewhat of a swear word in
my
vocabulary too, as Pickle (the cat) is displaying behaviour that illicits
naughty bad swear words that I, as a parent, am not allowed to say in
front
of a three year old.

So, Pickle the cat isn't a ******** cat* so much as a complete and utter
"pickle"head.
