While I would be the last person to get involved in, much less start, a flame war, I feel it is in my best interest and a matter of defending my honor to speak up about my husband's last entry.
1. I did not have some sick Christpher Columbus fetish thing going when choosing kitten names. Nina was very adventurous, and so I felt Nina fit, and when describing the whole adventure name thing I mentioned the other two ships. End of discussion.
2. Knuckles is a stupid name for a cat. I stand by my veto.
3. Zoe named the other two kittens. And we tried to do the whole gender identification thing. But the reality is you can't tell right away. You can't tell for at least a week. So oops, our bad. I can live with that.
4. Princess Fluffy Cuteness. Yeah. I was teasing Zoe and Katie. It was comedy. You had to be there. But trust me. It was hys-fucking-terical.
Thank you and goodnight.

Posted by: Leslie at July 6, 2004 06:22 PMThere are a few stray kittens over in Iraq where Nerdstar is and she was trying to take care of one of them. We thought it'd be fun to name it PFC Kitty (but for Private First Class). We considered Sgt. Kitty so it would outrank her.
Naming pets is always entertaining.
