I would have wrongly guessed "Catalina", save that the Hall family is SF-area and not LA-area Image

Hey guys, we should respect the fact that John is "Choosing" to be "Circumspect" about the whole "C" thing! Leave the poor guy alone, willya, until he decides to fess up himself Image

I am betting it is someone's name other than "Cynda", myself...........

Hmm. El Dorado? Cheyenne? Laredo? Hamburg? Lemmy?

Is "4002" a good cat name?

COY = Color of the year
RAS = Ric acquisition syndrome

usually, the two go together.

Actually, I can see the lights of Avalon, Catalina right now out my window. And we're neither SF nor LA-based; we're OC-based.

My best cat companion for more than 15 years was Shadow.

I think Ernie, along with Stratocatter and Les Pussy have already been taken.

Love cats. We're without right now, still getting over the loss of our last one last May. After a couple of trips coming up (one to the MARC), we'll acquire another one or two. Hadn't though of "Shadow," John. Good one.

My black cat/white boots, from the '70s, was named "Frank".

His color combo was pretty common in our Chicago neighborhood.

One day, he left. Something about a loud vacuum cleaner while he was sleeping in the room. Three laps without touching the carpet and out the window.

Three weeks later, he was back. Except "he" was a "she" now.

"She" lasted until I got married and moved away. A few months later, I visited Mom and Dad.

Frank was asleep on my Mom's lap. Later, Frank was referred to as a "he". Surprised, I had a look for myself. He was. A he.

When I mentioned to my Mom the cat swap, she told me I was imagining things--that this was the same Frank that we'd had before I got married.

My JG 425V63 is named "Frank".

I think "charactered" describes his coat purrfectly.
