T.S. Eliot wrote in The Naming of Cats
The naming of cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have three
different names.
That’s our new cat, Benny, a Tonkinese. He has lots of names. It was difficult to bring a new cat into our house after we lost Frosty the Wonder Cat last year. But Benjamin J. Kitty-Kitty Bang-Bang Stormy Blue Boy XXIII has been fantastic. He loves sitting on the windowsill and watching the birds. I wish he’d chase away the Cooper’s Hawk that’s hanging around now.

Cute kitty! It softened me a little. I was annoyed with my cat for scratching my cheek before I fed her breakfast this morning. She was using me as a climbing post to get to her bowl on the counter. Better be the first and last time!
aww! how sweet! congrats on your new kitty
Moni, thanks…he’s been really wonderful.
Jessica, yes, it’s no fun being the climbing post. It’s amazing how much damage a little cat can do…you can see why the big cats are such effective hunters.
I just got back from Chicago today. I missed my kitty. Such a beautiful cat!!
