>James Moriarty, my giant grey kitten boy turned 9 today.
*chuckle* We used to have a cat named Mycroft because he
was our othercat's "older brother". :) (no, our other
cat wasn't Sherlock, we're justeasily amused ;)--

I inadvertently deleted the postings where I normally read
them so had to start a new thread.
Mycroft is a wonderful cat name. I think I might have
considered it when he was a kitten but he was just too sly.
He couldn't be Sherlock's smarter older brother who was a
big deal in the government. No, he had to be named after
the evil one.
"He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of
half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in
this great city. He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract
thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits
motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that
web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every
quiver of each of them."
Yeah, he's sort of motionless now. He is being called to be
fed and is always in slo-mo going to this. He does these odd
things. If I have a glass of water laying about, he dips his
paw in it many times and licks it. He doesn't seem to want
to share the water dish with the girls. We had a friend over
and he needed to use the bathroom and we heard swearing
there. The friend couldn't get to the toilet as James was on
there lapping up the water. Tuner is the alpha cat and she
rules here, although she is tiniest. She will swipe at him
just to prove her title and he won't forget it and will
always get even. And, as a true Cancerian, he has this weird
crab-walk he does when he wants to fight.
I've only had five cats so far. I named the first one I had
Amber, as her eyes were yellow before they turned green.
The second one was a Maine coon named Ariel. We got her
from a newspaper ad and she hid out so much and wouldn't
respond to her name. One day I yelled Katerina and she
finally responded. Later, I read that Poe had a large,
comfortable tortoiseshell cat named Katerina. Later, she
became such a lover and responded to the name Ariel. And I
like the Tempest reference. As for Tuner, she was named
after Toonces The Cat Who Can Drive A Car. I have to watch
it sometimes, as I'll lock her into the car by mistake when
bringing things in. She really thinks she can drive it. It
is also appropriate that she's called Tuner now as tuners
are important for harps. The third cat is Grimalkin, a
stray we picked up who was living under cars. She is nuts
and has this nasty voice, so I gave her her name from the
Scottish play.
Dog-lovers will never get this, lol.
