I'm a great one to talk, with Gandolf the gray minded, Kali Ma, Shaylee (means fairy princess of the meadow) and Rigel (means foot of the gods and he's a huge Maine Coon. I will read these kids the list and they won't feel so bad about their names.

Officially, he's "China Cat Sunflower Garcia Sparkle Marshmallow Paws." He's a big, slender and muscular red tabby - extraordinarily healthy for 14.5 years. I think it's because of the Friskies and his favorite bedtime treat - milk!

I had Madame FuFu, James Brown, Lady Tigress, Budweiser & his sister Bud Lite, & Sir Gimps-a-Lot (a stray I fell in love with & took in). It's comforting to know that maybe I'm not quite so crazy as my friends and family think.
