Lolita was named after Nabokov's Lolita, because she loved men as a kitten. She would squirm in their laps, at the sound of their voices and the smell of them. She didn't react to women in the same way (but she did love her mummy) :-)

Do cats and kittens live up to their names?

Our girls named Moonshadow, not sure how they came to give her that name but it suits her perfectly. She just disappears into any shadows cast by the moon and even during the day she will become almost invisible in shadows. That's why she is so successful at hunting, the mice never see her coming.

Okay I feel my babies more then held up their names.
My babies are full blooded Mainecoon's.My baby boy King Maximus Grandma's One in a Million
He is very charming and regal in his presentation and when he walks I swear he fluffs himself up and walks waving his fluffy tail. He can lounge anywhere on anything and make you wish you where sitting there. A slow lazy blink, a soft rumbly trill a head bonk or a tilt of my head rub /scrathc my jaw hehe. He is very magnificent to see and I am still waiting for his full coat to grow back in. The grandma's one in a millon is a play my mom has 4 grandaughters and no grandsons but she does now have a grandcatson hehhee. he also loves to snuggle up and cuddle to her as well. If not with me he is with grandma!
My Baby Mystie had quite a few choices and a few changes into her final name. Not sure I told everyone the last change haha that went on her papers
Queen Mystic Blue Skye's grandpa's Soft Spot
Okay when she walks I swear she sashays on her tippy toes with a bounce to her walk. And her blue and white were chosen for her coloring. When I title her Queen I was liek a King needs his Queen though she is a spit fire and keeps max on his toes sometimes she is merciless heheh too heads will roll she meows hehee. Grandpa's Soft Spotis becuase had he not fallen for her max would enver have gotten his Queen.

My local animal shelter named Pumpkin, and I never changed it. I named Autumn because she was a calico kitten whose patches reminded me of autumn leaves in all their colors (besides, Rainbow Kitty would haved sounded like something a small child would name a cat :) ). I named Tommy, well, because he's male; I wouldn't do that to all male cats that would ever come into my life, but it just fit Tommy.

Ok here goes!
Chucky aka prince Charles(My avitar), got his name because our dogs name is Lady Dianna. so we gave him the royal name. But he turned out to be Chucky the killer doll. He lives up to that name! Tonka got her name because she has a motor purr and she's Tonka tough( Had to be to put up with Chucky)! as for Tess(The kitten who was the extra) it just fit her she's called BG more now though as she is the Bathroom Gargoyl aka BG. Nobody is allowed into the bathroom without her and you must turn the faucet on just a little so she can drink from the tap. Azelea got her name because she's always by the azelea bush that still owes me dinner(Long story)
I also had 3 other cats that have gone to the rainbow bridge! One was Noah and he was actually my Moms cat! He was a ferel Kitten that we gave my Mom! she had another cat named Moses and wanted another biblical name! The day we brought him over he was climbing the draps and my Mom kept going NOOOO ahah Nooo ahhh! hence the name Noah! He calmed down and was my Moms companion until the day she past. Noah lived with us for 3 years before he went to the rainbow bridge at almost 20 years! Then there was Trash she was found in a dumpster by a friend of mine, He named her Trash as somebody threw her out with the trash. at the same time we got an all white cat that was deaf from my ex mother in law. she had to get rid of her do to her breathing problems. Her name was Lace but she wouldn't come when called as she couldn't hear you! The squirrels used to chase her, My ex said she's a waste of a cat and the name stuck so we had waste and trash at the same time!Posted 6 months ago by 4 kits staff #

I must start with Taz, who was my solid black cat when I was single. She wasn't named after the cartoon character Taz, rather the marsupial that lives on an island off Australia. She was separated from her mama too young so she needed extra attention. Alas, her true colors showed and she was a terror on 4 paws from the start - one of the most destructive kitties I've ever known. Wouldn't trade her for the world, though. She spent her last years at my parents house, only living to 10 when she was hit by a car. They loved her as much as I and my brother had a real tough time with the loss of her.
Smokie was an elegant black long haired beauty, with a tail that went on forever. She had wisps of grey/white hair; that inspired the name Smokie. She was only 1 1/2 years old when she got into something toxic.
Shaddo thought his shadow was his best friend. So, after tossing a bunch of names around, we realized shadow was the right name for a little grey and white kitten, although we like to spell names just a tad different. (good thing we didn't have kids. I can see it now - "Hi, this is my daughter Kate, spelled Kkaeieate.!)
Jiggs was rescued from a tatoo place, a result of an ad for free maine coon kittens. He was 1 of...a lot of kittens. We couldn't wait to get him out of there. My boss rescued his twin brother. We passed a local watering hole called Jiggs' Tavern, so thats pretty much how he got his name.
Miss Leela -- Miss Leela....
Leela is the last name of a "Futerama" cartoon character. The character's full name is Tarunga Leela, and she has 1 eye. The little black kitten was known as Lacy when we adopted her so if we changed the name, we felt it best to give her a similar sounding name that she would easily learn. Within the first week of her ownership of us under our roof, she attacked me while learning about things that move under covers and knicked me on my upper eyelid, resulting in a black eye. Although she has 2 perfect eyes, she must have wanted her mama to be the one with one eye!Posted 6 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Garbo was so called because she always wanted to be alone, but now she has turned into the most amazing snugglebug. I'll swear there is some Maine Coone in her - she has tufty bits between her claws on big floofy paws, she has curly ear whiskers and tiny floofy tips on her ears.
Pickle definitely suits her name, she is also called Hissy Monster ...

George was named by his previous humans, but it seems to suit him. We kept it partly because George was the name of my husband's older brother and also husband's nephew, neither of whom is alive anymore. I think Mr. K's relatives thought it was a bit weird, but that's OK.
