2)  Hogni (pronounced Hawk-nee) is an Icelandic word for a male cat.  I was stationed in Iceland when he came into my life, and it seemed fitting. (He also earned several nicknames over the years, some of which are not printable.)

3)  Zorro - he's a tuxedo cat, and it looks like he's wearing a black mask, so Zorro he became. He's a very vocal cat, who always wants to be fed, so he sometimes goes by "Mr. Mouth" or "Garbage Gut."

4) Blackbird - he's coal black, and the shelter where I adopted him had his name as "Stinks,"  which, somehow, didn't seem appropriate.  A couple of days after he came home, I had friends over and he came tearing through the house, jumping up in the air in what became his signature style, and and my friend says to him "what do you think you are, an SR-71 jet?"  The SR-71 is a super-fast, super-high-flying military aircraft, nicknamed the "Blackbird."  It fit!  He goes by "Blackie", but has also earned a few nicknames in his two years in residence.

I had fun writing it, it reminded me of all the silly things my cats did to get the names they have. Anyway, l'm looking forward to meeting some of my fellow cat lovers.

Erin

My white and black longhair cat is named Oreo. She is a big fluff ball and looked like some one had taken her out of the garbage when I picked her up. She was named Frostfur and that just didn't work for me and Oreo just sorta stuck.

If I get anymore cats we are going to give them 'disney' 'magic' or 'ariel'. i really want a disney theme named cat. They have one at the humane society named 'ariel'...I think that's a sign lol
