The Cat Saga: The Finale
Well, Saturday was the big day. We went to get a kitten. The trek began at the Humane Society where we saw a few little ones. Pretty cute. They were all mixed up brown and black and white and one had a really unique look. I’m pretty particular, not being a cat person and all. Plus I lived at this appartment complex once where like 80 cats lived in the dumpster, all inbreeding and re-creating several scenes from Deliverance daily. It was nasty. So, I wanted to make sure we didn’t get stuck with a freak. We continued shopping.
As we drove we began to get serious about names. Heres the tally so far:
- Cuddles McSugglepuss
- Cow
- Some Rapper (i.e. EZ, Dre or Snoop)
- Corky
You can tell we were getting real excited. Well, then we decided to check with the landlord just to make sure it was cool. Heidi called since I was driving. Thats when the phone erupted sparks and smoke. He wasn’t real keen on the idea. Seems his daughter who manages the house is allergic- deathly allergic. That sucked. BAM. All the sudden the day sucked real bad. Heidi was pretty sad- Heck, I had started to warm up to the idea of a little one.
BUT, happy ending. We got a fish yesterday. Plus a little frog. Right now they go by “fishy” and “froggy,” respectively. If you have a minute, you might want to hit the contact info link and drop Heidi a line, just to cheer her up a bit. Thanks.

The best way to name pets is to simply call them ‘fish’ and ‘frog’ in other languages. It works great until someone knows that language, then you just come across as a slack-jawed yokel.
So, you should name the fish ‘Peixes’ and the frog ‘Frosch’.
