The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
~ T.S. Eliot, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats

For those who don’t know, then, in honor of International Cat Day, I’m pleased to introduce you to Sabrina. She also goes by Ballerina, Muppet, The Babiest Baby, and The Babiest. That would be five names, actually!

Then there’s Roary, also known as Roar-Roar, The Roary-est Roar-Roar, The Roarster, and Monkey. They each have five names. We’re The Naming of Cats over-achievers.

We have a Monkey and a Muppet, I often tell them, certain that Roary knows that she’s the Monkey and Sabrina knows that she’s the Muppet.

They’re precious. They’re well aware that this was their special day. They’re both curled up at my feet as I write this. A first!

Enjoy some throw-back pics of Sabrina:

And throw-backs of Roary:

Have a wonderful week ahead, friends.

Much love from Sabrina, Roary, and Yours Truly, proud Cat Mom and Childless Cat Lady who most certainly does not want to make you miserable.
