Because their names are words we are pretty sure they know...so we give em several to increase their vocabulary? :rolleyes:

Mao = Mao-sir, Maoie, Meowie, Maomao, Sweety, Mr. Man, Good Boy, Smarty, Clever man, and on and on...(Best cat I ever had, a truly amazing cat)

Mira = Dumbass, Psycho kitty, Pretty is as Pretty Does, Snuggles, Glutton, Fatty, Fat-ass, WTF!!!, Lovey Dovey (she really is a psycho cat with dozens of personalities...most of them irritating...some of them deliteful)

My friend Skeet has a cockatoo named Dog.

I always wondered about this until I was walking past his house one day and heard a barrage of barking. There were no dogs in the house. Skeet doesn't own any canines, but he owns a bird that barks.

I used to have an iguana named Fluffy.

^^ he just had really fine, really short hair.

^Yes, it was practically undetectable.

My favorite cat of all times only changed names twice from Casey to Casey Mae to China Mae.

I think I only had one name for my rat Ratchie.

New q for today:

¿ What was the first record on vinyl, cassette and CD you bought yourself ?

If there's an interesting story going with why you bought something - post it! :)

vinyl: own none
cassette: Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
CD: Guns n' Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II

Not tremendously interesting: Came upon the above artists via MTV (back then still the one from London) which we started to receive in 90/91 and which I devoutly watched (often already while getting ready for school) despite not yet understanding too much English as I just had started to learn it in school - well for the Public Enemy texts this was probably not so bad cos they might have spoiled me as pre-teenie ;)

LP: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
cassette: never bought one
CD: The Dream of the Blue Turtles

I can't believe I'm admitting to this.

First vinyl may have been Dancing in the Streets, the Jagger/Bowie version. I think. May have been Feargal Sharkey, Depeche Mode, Crowded House.

First casette was Blaze of Glory.

First CD was Dreams by the Cranberries. I think. I don't have many CDs because new technology scares me.

hmmm
vinyl: none
cassette: a sesame street bert & ernie tape (well, my mother bought it but i picked it out in the store and she gave me my pocket money and i paid for it)
CD: ?? no idea, i can't remember which one was the first.. :confused:

Probably Phil Collins.

vinyl: (that I bought myself, had lots of Disney stuff/Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer and such earlier) I think it was Zenyatta Mondatta by the Police.

Not sure of the rest -- cassette was probably Black Flagg or something, and CD was likely more Police or Siouxsie and the Banshees. :D

^^^Oh well, what concerns the first cassette I got as (wished for) gift then...

Lower Bavarian country pop, "I bin a bayrisches Cowgirl" (= I'm a Bavarian cowgirl, as quite obvious) - how I loved that song :o

Actually on the cassette front I had, but didn't pay for, the best-covered-ever Ripper 76
