Cat Names for the Adventurous Cat Owner

So, you have adopted a kitten or a kitten has adopted you and you are wondering about names. While many names will spontaneously appear and you have probably thought up many of the names in this book, "MEOW: The Somewhat Comprehensive Book of Cat Names" lives up to its name. The categories include: C is for Cat, That's My Name Don't Wear It Out, Victorian, Purebreds, Familiarity Breeds Contempt, French Cats, Egyptian Cats, Pwitty Whittle Kitty Names, Oh My! What a Wonderful Cat, Feral Cats, Earthly Cats, Heavenly Katz, Colors, Dare I Repeat Myself, Flower Power, All For Fun, Borrowed, Copy Cat, Action Figures, Straight from the Phone Book, and Strange (but true). A few examples: Sophie, Mirage, Moondance, Azure and many more... Strangely enough: "pookie wookie" does not appear although I do believe it is based on an idea that stems from "poo bear snuggly kitty mixed with wonderful kitty" and has nothing to do with the other word using "y" instead of "ie." We used to call one cat "pookie bear" which is the name of Garfield's teddy bear I don't remember seeing "princess" either. Our one cat is currently grouchy all the time because she is addicted to some new cat treats and wants more, more, more. That is why we are not calling her "grouchy meowchy" although her names change daily depending on mood. Upon a recent online search, I see I'm not the only one who has baby names for her cats. I just left a definition for "meowchy" at the urban dictionary, although I'm sure everyone has their own definition. ~The Rebecca Review

Very funny book

I got this book as a birthday present, and I love it. How could you not love a book that gives you hundreds of choices of funny cat names. Such as, Chubby-Wubby, Baby-kins, poopsie, Razzmatazz, Do-what-kitty-kitty-do, Critical Mass, Lilliput, Tinkerbell, Sawed-off Sam. I highly recommed this book as a gag gift, or to those crazy cat loving females!!!
