The Minister's cat was called Derwentwater because he had to pee three times
Apparently this lake was called the Der in one of the early versions of language in England - until there was a new lot of people whose word for water was Went - so when they saw a large body of water called the Der they called it Derwent
Then you can fill in what the third lot did!

The Minister's very secretive cat was called X. Yes there really is a Lake X.
His other cats were called Yellow and Zeller because he was a keen fisherman and had visited these lakes just before being adopted by the cats. Now we can do Christmassy cats.
