Tortoishell cat - very beautiful and rather aloof- "Lucie" (Lucy Snow - Villette, I think)
Ginger tom - very cuddly - 'Bingley" (Pride and Prejudice) Ginger and white tom (a rescue job) _ "Dorian" (Dorian Gray) and to remember "Florian", another ginger and white tom we lost last January. Grey tabby with some ginger and white - "Chloë" - no particular reason for that name. She's a half grow kitten I found abandoned at school at the end of last term. Large white dog - another rescue, was originally called "Martha" but we renamed her "Sylvo" Small terrier-like mongrel, brown and white who belonged to my father. Dad got him from the RSPCA and called him Tommy (war memories?) Our much loved and now laid to rest Pyreneen mountain dog was called Balou (Kipling) Previous cats have been called Tesoro, Amenti, Tarquin, Sophie, Fransisque, Justin, Jusitine. Previous dogs Patsy, Penny, Victor, Holly. A canary was Piccolo and all our budgies have been named after Popes. (Don't ask me why!) A rabbit was Valentine, a mouse Thimble. There have been many others but I have to go and do some real work ...... |

We have three cats - the eldest is Tom (now 12) and he had a brother called Jerry (sadly he was knocked down outside our house) - he was named by my then 5 yearr old daughter. Then we got Phoebe (just liked the name) and she had seven beautiful kittens and we kept one - Kit-Kat - now called Kitty, etc.
Her brothers and sisters all looked very similar so we called them by their appearance - Bruiser - the biggest in the litter Stumpy, his brother, as he had a little blob on the end of his tail Mozart, named by my friend's daughter who had him when he was 8 weeks old Barbie, as she had a 'bar' across her white tummy Paddy, as she had all black foot pads Poppy - because she was the smallest little girl. Bruiser (now named Septimus) and Stumpy (now named Maximus) still live in the village, as does Mozart, who visits us from time to time. Sadly , Poppy and Rosie were knocked down (although Poppy did have 4 kittens of her own) and we know nothing about Barbie except that she lives in our nearest town. |

I have a female dog called Kaya, for no special reason, although.
