Miss Kitty (a redhead like the one in "Gunsmoke")
~mrchips #2
"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?"
~stacey #3
*laugh* Tahja and Rafikki are my girls... (grey kitties)
~Irishprincess #4
"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")
~MarciaH #5
hi Amy, welcome from Drool to the Wild World of Animals
~wolf #6
Bro, KoKoMo (KoKo for short), and Bert the Quaker parrot.
~Irishprincess #7
Hello, Marcia and the other non-droolers!
~MarciaH #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 #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 #10
He's black and white, BTW
~MarciaH #11
Sounds like from the way you are feeding him, he will rapidly grow into the name! Yin/Yang Kitty!
~riette #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 #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 #14
I have four cats: Fabio, SETI, Bowie, and Korben Dallas.
~stacey #15
Wolf ~ my grandmother had a brown mutt ages ago... his name was KoKoMo too!
~aschuth #16
Hi Girls! Wasn't KoKoMo also a Beach Boys song in the Eighties/early Nineties?
~wolf #17
yes indeed!
~aschuth #18
And how's a dog's name come from that, hmh?
~MarciaH #19
Isn't it also a city in Indiana?! Hmmm...
~riette #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 #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 #22
And! They are two really nice and supremo folks, those two are!
~riette #23
They HAFTA be with a band name like that!! What is the record label called??
~Isabel #24
Hey I love their song "Hamburg"! You know it? Maybe I should post it in "Hamburg"?
~aschuth #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 #26
Flittchen??? ha-ha!! That's good! Isabel, I don't know 'Hamburg' - maybe you should play it LOUDLY.
~Isabel #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 #28
Great. Do you like Gr�nemeyer?
~patas #29
(Isabel)Mao just means cat It does? So Mao Zhedong was just a very mean old cat? ;-)
~patas #30
BTW, my dog's name is Patinhas (= little paws), or Patas (= paws) for short.
~Isabel #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 #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?
~zx6rider #33
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.
