Miss Kitty (a redhead like the one in "Gunsmoke")

"Matthew, Miss Kitty says for you to get your ass over to the Long Branch!" "Where the hell does she think I've been getting it for the last fifty years, Festus?"

*laugh* Tahja and Rafikki are my girls... (grey kitties)

"Bonny Sweet Robin Dudley" (his call name is just "Dudley") is my Jack Russell Terrier, and my two cats are "Spook" and "Daphne Rose" (for the character on "Frasier")

hi Amy, welcome from Drool to the Wild World of Animals

~wolf Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:15) #6

Bro, KoKoMo (KoKo for short), and Bert the Quaker parrot.

~Irishprincess Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (19:27) #7

Hello, Marcia and the other non-droolers!

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (20:08) #8

I did not think I had been away from Drool that long...I am considered a non-Drooler, now?! Wow! Not sure how to take that...thanks, though! David's cat is Critter (one of my aliases)

~Isabel Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (20:37) #9

Mine are Mao ( a red and white tomcat) and Piao ( a tabby-lady). You would never guess the name of the baby-intruder-kitten : MONSTER!

~Isabel Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (20:37) #10

He's black and white, BTW

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (20:49) #11

Sounds like from the way you are feeding him, he will rapidly grow into the name! Yin/Yang Kitty!

~riette Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (03:27) #12

Hey, Amy!!!! Great to have you here!!! You're good at giving pet names, Isabel!! Y'all know my guinea-pigs, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La-La and Po, don't you? La-La has been developing lesbian tendencies lately... Funnily enough for Tinky Winky; this is not good.

~Isabel Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (08:05) #13

I don't know why I had this funny idea six years ago, that it had to be chinese names.... Mao just means cat, and Piao means tabby cat (somehow) - so easy!

~Charlotte Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (08:27) #14

I have four cats: Fabio, SETI, Bowie, and Korben Dallas.

~stacey Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (10:08) #15

Wolf ~ my grandmother had a brown mutt ages ago... his name was KoKoMo too!

~aschuth Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (11:28) #16

Hi Girls! Wasn't KoKoMo also a Beach Boys song in the Eighties/early Nineties?

~wolf Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (11:31) #17

yes indeed!

~aschuth Fri, Sep 24, 1999 (11:42) #18

And how's a dog's name come from that, hmh?

~MarciaH Sat, Sep 25, 1999 (18:51) #19

Isn't it also a city in Indiana?! Hmmm...

~riette Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (03:28) #20

Welcome, Charlotte!!! Haven't spoken to you for a long time! KoKoMo a dog's name? Hmm.... well, ANYTHING is better than Lassie, isn't it?

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (17:40) #21

Hey, there was a band by that name - Die Lassie Singers. (That's the German "die" as in the, not "die" as in "to die", FYI. They were to die for, though, as many fans - especially guys - attested during the farewell tour. The creative minds behind that act now run a record label together in Berlin.)

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (17:42) #22

And! They are two really nice and supremo folks, those two are!

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (04:08) #23

They HAFTA be with a band name like that!! What is the record label called??

~Isabel Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (07:52) #24

Hey I love their song "Hamburg"! You know it? Maybe I should post it in "Hamburg"?

~aschuth Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (12:15) #25

Riette, the label is called Flittchen Records, run by Almut Klotz and Christiane R�singer, who has toured extensively this year with her band Britta. They also did a tour featuring female artists and bands with at least 50% women in the line-up; this was called "Stolz & Vorurteil" (= Pride & Prejudice), and - together with the compilation of the same name on CD - it introduced the public to good underexposed acts.

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (13:21) #26

Flittchen??? ha-ha!! That's good! Isabel, I don't know 'Hamburg' - maybe you should play it LOUDLY.

~Isabel Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (15:56) #27

Yeah, I will as soon as I find this darn text! They express their love for Hamburg in it, and it's all about touring and having to stay in a bus the whole day, going from one city to another, it's a wonderful song!

~riette Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:19) #28

Great. Do you like Gr�nemeyer?

~patas Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (03:17) #29

(Isabel)Mao just means cat It does? So Mao Zhedong was just a very mean old cat? ;-)

~patas Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (03:18) #30

BTW, my dog's name is Patinhas (= little paws), or Patas (= paws) for short.

~Isabel Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (09:39) #31

Gr�nemeyer? Sorry don't like his music very much... May be his voice... Gi, I think the chinese leaders name is something like "fur". Chinese is a very dificult language and I know nearly nothing about it, but they have different tones to pronounce the same sign or something like this, and then it's another word...

~riette Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (03:29) #32

I don't listen to much german music either, but I've seen Gr�nemeyer on tv a few times; you're right, his voice is crap, but there is something about the WAY he sings that I find cool. He sings right from the stomache, you know?

My kittie twins are Nike and Reebok. My greyhound friend is Pearl. We belong to a doggie playgroup at a nearby park, so we have lots of doggie buddies as well... I'd name them but it would take a long time. The humans in Doggie Playgroup sometimes help one another out by walking our doggie friends if somebody gets stuck at work or something.
