One of our rules for pet naming, especially cats, is how we would
feel about standing and yelling that name out our front door at 11
PM, or walking around the neighborhood calling it.

I always wondered what the neighbors used to think when I stood at
the back door at 11 PM yelling "ROMEO!!, Romeo! Where are you??"


For best effect you should have called "Romeo, Romeo, where art
thou, Romeo?" ;-)

Depends on which part of the play you're referring to! If it's when
his band of friends are calling for him, it's just "ROMEO!" If it's
Juliet on the balcony doing a soliliquy then you may add "wherefore
art thou, Romeo?"

Which doesn't mean "where are you" but "why are you."

True... because it's followed afterwards by "Deny thy father and refuse thy
name" since who he was prevented them from hooking up But I still like
Romeo & Juliet as good names for a pair of male & female kittens!


They are good names. I am not considered an expert at naming cats,
since Feather (RB) was the only cat I ever named and people thought it
was an AWful name. At least many people. I was part of a group that
named Winthrop and Edgewood, feral kittens captured at the corner of
Winthrop and Edgewood. Other than that, I have let other people name
cats and then critiqued the names. It is far easier.
