Very welcome.
When I got disabled and had to move to the city and give up driving, I bought my first computer. Seemed like a good time to take up a hobby. I found funny people at Yahoo Answers and made friends. A vet from Indiana and I used to IM chat daily, and I had gotten attracted to a picture of a flying cat. He had a cape like superman and flew in the sky. I thought that was great, but she said it belonged to someone, so we went looking for a picture that might be okay to use. Finally found this:
Does the name you gave to your cat has a meaning?
Is there a story behind his/her name?
My Pizz, got his name from my daughter first time they met and it seems like he really loved it from the beginning.
What's your story? Share with us!
That's sweet. Yea, I got a friend who calls his cat "Very Good", for a similar reason. It's just what he responded to, and he had to be told when he was doing "good" a lot (apparently), so it kinda stuck.Baby actually picked her name. When I adopted her they had called her Sylvia, but she wouldn't answer to that when I got her home. I tried calling her by a lot of different names, all of which she ignored. Finally in desperation I called out who's mama's baby and then she came to me. She's been Baby ever since.
He also doesn't like if I don't pay attention to him.
I would totally read that comic.Though we also considered this one... (it was just cute)..
My friend asked "what's that?" when I located that particular picture, and I just said the first thing that popped in my head ("That's Captain Meow!").
So he became our mascot, for our evening talks each day.
We would imaginarily send him flying back and forth between Massachusetts and Indiana.
It was much fun, and led to a lot of laughs (always I look for the laughs).
Anyway, my Vet friend felt I might become lonely living isolated in a city after leaving all my friends behind, so she suggested a cat, and I so liked the name Captain Meow I named my new real kitten after our imaginary mascot friend. I also bought a pen tablet and an animation program, in the hopes of making a silly comic strip character of him (oh yea, see Captain Meow is a hero. He has a cape and can fly, sure, but mostly he just flies in his little space ship and defends the universe from mouseses and other such menacing dangers. But now...he doesn't drive very well though, because he has a little shameful habit (he smokes cigarettes without filters). And given he has a marked natural attention deficit to begin with, being a cat and all (Hey, whats that? A shiny thing? Bat. Bat bat. *starts chewing himself and forgets......next thing you know the space cops have him pulled over and all he can say to the officer is "What?" And his eyes are all red and he wants potato chips. *sigh* But so he has one little fault! And.. so he never really gets around to saving anything, but he has a great time flying the ship! ( in little circles, and giggling, because he forgot to steer.
Where was I? Oh yea. So..that's the captain meow comic strip idea. Probably a good thing I never did get around to drawing it, eh? *shrug*
So..I call him Captain Meow!
(I mean I suppose I could have named him Walter or something (which is my other strange foible I have, where I like to give animals people names (oh yes, I had a Harold, a Hellen, a Penelope....and so on). So does Captain Meow have a first name then (other than his rank, as space ship captain? Mmm...good question. Hold on, I'll ask him. pssswss pssswss psss.. Okay, you know what he said?
Nothing. He's a cat! Cats cant talk! Don't be silly! (Besides, you can't call HIS views on politics talking!) HA!!
Oops
So does he have a first name? No, we never gave him one. He's Captain Meow. And I call him Bun Bun for short a lot too. Cause he just seems like a Bun Bun to me.
Those are his kitten pictures. He's actually 8 years old now.
Don't all cats expect to be worshiped? LOL
The meaning of our two cats names are Komere because she never comes here and Zeus because he thinks he's a god and we should worship him
That's what my signature says.
