Weird Pet Names

LOL. I agree 100%. I had two cocker spaniels once (sorry to mention d*gs) named Chuck and Mousse. Mousse was chocolate colored. I had to take him to the vet once, and we were in the waiting room where they had these little stalls you could sit in while waiting. They called my name, and I got up and said (loudly enough for all to hear, unfortunately) "C'mon, Mousse; it's our turn." Everyone in the waiting room looked over to see what kind of huge, mongo dog was going in for a checkup... why else would he be named "Moose"? When he came around into view, in all his spaniel fluffiness and big-eared cuteness, the room burst into laughter. LOL, great story! Joyce |

I had long since given up explaining that it was "Mousse, like the dessert; not Moose, like antlers." We had one poster with a cat named Vette. As in Corvette. That must have been confusing at the vet's. |

I once knew a cat called Trevor, I also knew one of her kittens. LOL :-))) My second cousin has a cat called Alan. Also second category, I feel! One of the problems of fostering is dreaming up new names for litters of kittens. One particularly long-term foster mum resorted to using scientific names in desperation (been through herbs, spices, wildflowers etc), and eventually reached virus families. I believe 'Rhabdo' and 'Adeno' were used but I did have to actively dissuade her from using 'Herpes' despite it being a 'perfectly valid scientific name', and "yes it does sound Greek, but we do want the kittens to find homes!"
