Got it: Weissach. And after you neuter him you can pronounce it "WEE SACK."

This illustrates that cats are smarter than dogs. Call a dog, he comes. Call a cat, he comes only if he wants to.

Burmese, chocolate brown, super short very soft fur, Frangelica.

Himalayan - Mostly white/beige. Looked like a dirty snowball. Kohoutek aka "Comet". No one ever understood “Kohoutek”, so he was simply comet. When he would throw up, he was "Vomit Comet".

I had a mostly black cat (one white spot underneath, to keep him from being unlucky)that ended up being called "Dusty". It was more a condition, than a name. Other names used for the cat were "Dustball", "Catball", ball became synonymous with cat.

Tuxedo cat, perfect black except for white bowtie across his nose. His name became Mohawk, because of the "Mohawk Country Club" my parents belonged.

Then there was Linden. He whined all the time, so was named after my favorite vineyard of the time: Linden in North-west Virginia.

The latest ones.

Camille - she would get into these fits when she was a kitten, and spin, sort of chasing her tail. A Camille is a storm or a tantrum/fit, from my French Canadian father in law. She is the "mono-rail" cat I've posted.

I needed to name her twin brother and contacted my French cousin. He was the most loving cat. I needed a name nice French lover, and my cousin said that such a thing did not exist! Anyway, she suggested "Rodin", since Camille Claudel and Augustus Rodan were lovers. I couldn't name him that, since I knew my father would shorten it to "Rodent". Well, he ended up with that name and sure enough, my father called him Rodent.

We have an outdoor cat that we feed, who used to be called "Gata Negra", but has been renamed "Gato Negro", since he's a male, and is more than occasionally called "Obama".

For a grey medium to long hair, I'd call it dusty. For a short "blue" grey cat, I'd call him Azure or Azul.

Other theme suggestions on the color grey: "Gris", pronounced like "grease" (Spanish) or like "Gree" (french), for grey. Or German: Grau, like "ow" with a 'g'. Maybe Über Grau, for the Ultimate Grey cat. You could occasionally call him 'Ug" for short.

hey we had a female cat we named BOB.

was a stray that was always around...then one day she was holed up in a box in the garage with a litter of kittens. we were able to give them all away but mom stuck around so BOB became a member of the family for another 10years.
