Wait Till You Read THIS!!

I've been here, with Mama & Daddy, in my fur-efurr home for 3 1/2 years. Soon after I arrived I received my name. You see, no one knew what name I had before, so Mama & Daddy chose thomas macguffan (the lower case conceit is intended). thomas was to honor several wonderpurr kitties Mama has known, macguffan was chosen because a "macguffin" is "something searched for, difficult to find, an impetus for a plot". Mama said that suited me because for the first months I lived here I was always hiding, difficult to find.

I liked my name. It's a fine name. It suits me. I answer to it. The nicknames "tommy mac", "tommy, can you hear me?" are cute & work too.

Then Tuesday night, I'm sleeping on the back of the couch. Minding my own business. Faintly, I hear Mama laugh. Then I feel her nudge me. She asks me a question, but I was sleepy & didn't catch it. I may have purred agreement....but REALLY? Can a sleeping cat be held responsible for such an utterance?

It turns out that I have agreed to a NEW NAME. Are you ready for this? This? THIS INSULT to my full figure??

My new full name is: Lord thomas macguffan TUBBINGTON!

Lord TUBBINGTON??

Me? A TUBBY in TON?????

I ask you....have you ever heard of such an insult???

Tell me Catsters, what should I do?
