Reply #21: I have two...Minnie and Guinga. My furry nephew is Floyd. [View All]

I adopted two adults within a month after my old girl, Tikki, passed on. (Her name was given to her by her first owner.) Minnie was named so by the folks at the Humane Society (she's a little slip of a thing). After trying to come up with a new name for about a week, she was already responding to Minnie...so it stuck.

Guinga's name was Tiger at the Humane Society. I asked a Brazilian friend to help...her family's pets have almost had great names. She took one look at him and said "he is Guinga." (Guinga is a Brazilian singer/composer.) It fits him perfectly. He's a huge male tabby...he stretches out to over three feet long and has clodhopper feet.

I am so terrible at picking names that if I had children, they would probably have remained nameless.
