I have had 6 black cats which I named Corbin.
Corbin derives from a Welsh word for coal bin ( at least I was told).
And they tolerate you.

Baby (Lhasa Apso girl)
Emily (Lhasa Apso girl)
Buddy (stray who stayed, thought was a boy, found out he was a she kitty)
Bruce (record-breaking stupid English Mastiff)

Ten year break

LeBron James (church carnival goldfish who lasted over a month! )
Manny (beloved Australian shepherd who's untimely death was directly my fault)

Leaving only...

Spiderman ($5 boy cat who is deathly afraid of our three year old, but is willing to be loved by anyone else)

I had an adorable hedgehog, boomer, she owned the garage. I would stash kibble bits around so she would have to hunt and gather. Oh man, she stole my ficking bag of weed. I forgave her, but why did she do this in the first place.
So her name wasn't Joe Cocker then.

An ownerless cat drifts about the neighbourhood, sometimes snoozing on our patio in a basket we leave out for the purpose. We have dubbed the cat "Wild Thing."

Only two names should be allowed for pets: Archibald and Lassie.
But if you really like your dog or cat (petting other animal is sick, and I don't mean pet in sense of pre-sex caressing all right), you'll call them "Buddy".
Coz they will be your only buddies, unless you live in an imaginary world.,

I once named a kitten Napoleon. He was brought to my apartment, and the first thing he did was stroll over to me, climb on my lap, and push off of my lap the cat that was already sitting there.

I had a kitten born with deformities - twisted spine, club feet, never grew bigger than a mouse. She liked to sleep in my shoe.

Name of Hobbit.

A cat will think that no matter what you do. It'll also think you're food no matter what you do.

Cats are evil on four legs.

The cats here can open doors.

They tell me to do it for them. Plus apparently they require water sometimes.
