Hello beautiful kitties,
I was thinking how it might be interesting to share our stories on how we got our names- it could be a fun way to get to know all of us!

Mine came about because when mom found me in the shelter, I was named 'PACHITA' UGH! what an icky name right? So she decided right away that she was going to have to change it, but since she didn't know my personality, she decided to wait a few days to see if anything REALLY suitable shined through. So, for the next day or so, I pranced around my new house with a certain 'air' about me- mom said I was very regal in my ways. Since I was also an RB, she figured I had royal blood running through my little body (yes, I was little then). A royal name was a must and since Queenie or Princess didn't *quite* fit, Dutchess I was named. I don't know why there's a 't' in my name, it think it's because my new vet spelled it on my chart like that...

Well my momma didn't want the all too common Smokey. Not that there's anything wrong with that name but she likes something a bit different. But she just couldn't decide. Her bro was big into Le Zeppelin then (still is!) so he started naming off song titles. Such as "Tangerine", "The Rain Song" (Rain), "Kashmir" (I had considered this one for a bit), and "Misty Mountain Hop". Of course when he got to that one, it totally clicked! So Misty I was dubbed. But she's decided her next Blue Smoke kitty will be named Kashmir!

Awww, Shadow, I hope that everything is OK. But let it be known that yes, we are all "greyish" but we Russian Blues are most certainly BLUE - like royal blood you know. ; )

Well, my name is Tripod because I have three legs; my foster mom didn't want it known I was a three-legger (thought it might jinx my chances of being adopted) and called me "Sprocket," but my mom says she thinks she loves me more because I have three legs. It sure doesn't slow me down!

I'm so sorry for your loss Shadow. Losing a fuzzy sib is always hard. I hope that you and your human family are coping well.
