Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Dr Suess Anyone?
Hi there. I need help naming my fosters - I've decided to use characters in Dr. Suess books, but my brain doesn't remember some of them. I've got Sam (green eggs and ham Sam I am), and Horton (Horton hears a who). I need one more. One of the little white ones I"m calling Sam. Then I need to figure out who gets Horton, and whatever name anyone else can come up with. They're all boys. Any of you remember any Dr. Suess characters (other than the Grinch), something easy to spell as well as say. Have kids that have his books laying around? Can anyone come up with a name for me please? I figured a few of you could come up w/some good ideas. If you haven't already looked, you can see my fosters at http://home.comcast.net/~zookeepr/fosters.html. Thanks for the help. :) JoJo > Hi there.

Maysie is a bird that Horton egg sits for in Horton Hatches the Egg. And there's Yertle the Turtle, Fox in Socks, (who likes to play tongue-twisting games with his friend Mr. Knox), and let's not forget the Zooks & the Yooks from The Butter Battle Book (his take on the Cold War & racial and/or religious bias), nor the Sneetches. I found most of these character's names on Amazon.com, in the book description sections.

Lorax, Cindy Lou Who, Max (the grinch's dog), Fox in sox, and Yertle the turtle.

And Dave (he was afraid of the pale green pants with nobody inside them). How about Mr. Brown (he went "moo", amongst other fun to say words). Then there are Thing 1 and Thing 2, those pesky buggers from The Cat in the Hat! Stacey (who used to be a nanny and is married to a man who find Dr. Suess IMMENSLY funny) Thank you one, thank you all. :) I think we will go with Max, it's simple. Yertle is too female, not to mention Cindy Lou. Thank those of you that trolled Amazon for me (why didn't I think of that??), or just to those that happen to know the stories for one reason or another. :) All I can remember of Seuss is "I will not eat them on a plane, I will not eat them on a train....I will not eat green eggs and ham....Sam I am." Ok, probably a little disjointed, but I'm going from long ago memory. Although I am really curious about Dave and the green pants. And what kind of "mom" would I be to name them Thing 1 and Thing 2? (need to add 3 & 4). Gotta go, I'm surrounded. Kittens everywhere, and I'm the center of their playground. :) Gotta love it. Plus school work to do :( Anyone out there who works in PR? I could really pick your brain about now. Need a company that uses three different PR tools - I pay no attention to this stuff. Really, if anyone is in PR, please email me (dolphins349@hotmail.com) Thanks again! Off to scour the net for PR examples. How sad. > Hi there.

Yertle the Turtle, IIRC, was a male, and a power-mad dictator. ;) >Thank those of you that trolled Amazon for me (why didn't I think of >that??), or just to those that happen to know the stories for one reason or [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >And what kind of "mom" would I be to name them Thing 1 and Thing 2?

I draw the line at the T-shirts that say Thing 1 and Thing 2 right over one's breasts. :P Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. (Aldous Huxley) "JoJo" <zookp503@comcast.net> had some very interesting things to say about Re: Dr Suess Anyone?: >Gotta go, I'm surrounded.

Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL I loved looking at all your critters, pets and fosters! You are doing a very kind thing. Purrs from us. Christine and Omar, Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker > Hi there.

I am "mom" to these little guys and they are starting to see me that way, climbing all over me. It's so cute, I hate to give them up, but there's always going to be more. :) JoJo > I loved looking at all your critters, pets and fosters! You are doing a > very kind thing. Purrs from us.
