I wanted to do this, following the last post, of how I got my name.
My cats...
Well, I don't think I did half bad on naming them, considering...
Let me back up again, as I did on my last post.
Waaaaaay back when, in 1960, my mom's parents acquired two cats. Their cats were originally named Antony Armstrong Jones (Tony), and Queen Elizabeth--after two members of the Royal Family at the time. But, soon, they discovered that Queen Elizabeth was a boy kitty, so they had to change his name. Mom's sister knew someone in school by the name of Jerry, and she liked that name, so...majority vote went with that. Hence, the two cats' names were Tony and Jerry--Tony short for Antony Armstrong Jones, and Jerry short for...Jerry.
Tony and Jerry the firsts lived until 1974, when my maternal grandfather had them put to sleep shortly after Grandma passed. (Awwwwwwwwwwww)...
August 29, 2001, I met my little kittens for the first time. They were just hours old at the time. I almost named one of my boys Stripes, for the fact that they have very obvious stripes. But then, I thought, I'd like to give them family names. We did indeed have a Tony and Jerry in the cat family....so, I went with that, for the boys of course.
My girl became Muppet, which is kitten-talk for Muffin, which she has always been...my little muffin. And for short, she's Mup.
Gee, that was easy!!
Thanks again for stopping by!!
Love ya!
