To all the parents....
How did you come up with the name "Boomer" for your cat or dog. Since we all share the same name, I thought it would be fun to see how this came to be!

I guess I will start first. Mommy loved the white marking around my eyes. When I close my eyes the markings resemble a cresent shape. It reminded her of a boomerang. Boomerang was too long of a name, so for short Boomer became my name!

Well.....
My family had just gotten me and we could not think of a name. My sister said Dimond because of the dimond shape on my head, but everyone said it was to girly. I went a couple days as, "No Name" than it hit them. I ran like a champ and loved to chase to ball, and I loved to bring it back like a Boomerang ( just like Boomer, the CAT!!!).


Boomer- 10/30/1972 - 2/20/1996

World\'s best- kitty, Queen of- the house.

Me Mom got me in 1972 and knew she would name me Boomer even before she met me. The "Chicago Tribune" ran an ad each week for a 'pet of the week'. One week in 1971, it was a pathetic looking little puppy and its name was Boomer. My Mom thought that was HYSTERICAL. (Boomer was not a very popular name back then.) So she decided that if she ever got a pet, she would name it Boomer, no matter what kind of pet it turned out to be.

Of course, when she found me, I became "Boomer". Since I was a girl, and very beautiful, she gave me a middle name befitting my sex. So my whole name was "Boomer Laverne".

My Mom saw a Toilet Paper commercial with a kitty un-rolling all of the paper.....the Kitty's name was Boomer! She and her roomates at the time got the giggels everytime it came on......So when she adopted me she named me Boomer! It was kind-of a reminder of just how much fun she and her roomates used to have. I know..I know it's kind'a cheezie but my Mom is very sentamental!

Boomer

Biter of toes.

My Mommy was going to name me Stone after one of her favorite musicians (Stone Gossard). Daddy didn't like it so I went nameless for a few days. Then they decided to name me Boomer cause I have a little pot belly and am a bit of a loud mouth, just like one of Mommy's favorite baseball players (David "Boomer" Wells).
I really like my new name.. purrrrrrrr!!
