So, I need temporary names for them when I take them to the animal hospital tomorrow. Any ideas? NotMine and NotMineEither to remind you that they're not 'keepers'? :P Yeah, like *that*'s going to work Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe |

If so, you will know that John Thomas means what I said before and it not a fit name for a cat. Tweed I used to know a young man (when I was also young) named John Thomas. I believe there was also a fairly well-known opera or classical singer in the U.S. by that name. Joy Here in the US there is nothing bad associated with the name. I know several John Thomases. It is not an uncommon name. One of them is my Dr. who I am going to see tomorrow. I can't wait to tell him what his name means in the UK. He will laugh. Bridget |

If so, you will know that John Thomas means what I said before and it not a fit name for a cat. But it was what Robert Heinlein named the _supposed_ protagonist of his juvenile SF novel The Star Beast and not only that, the real protagonist, JT's alien "pet" who turns out ot be a princess of a very advanced alien race, has a hobby of "raising John Thomases." Heinlein got all of that past an editor who obviously did not know English slang as well as he did. Will in New Haven -- Tweed- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

It's true I didn't know the slang connotation, when I named my first cat "Peter" (it was my grandparents' surname), but I doubt that would have stopped me. |
