Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Pickle
Suki, as you know, was named because he was such a 'sooky' puss, even though Indigo was also a perfectly decent name. Pickle was the name that Cary chose for the short haired cat previously known as Casper, Kunks & T.D. (in that order). Pickle is a strange name, but he answered to it immediately and it seemed to fit, so it stuck - I mean, what do you expect if you let a 3 year old name a cat? But it gets a little more interesting. Are any of you familiar with the kids show Higglytown Heroes? And do you know what the Higglytown heroes say instead of swearing? Would you believe its... You guessed it, They say "Oh Pickle". So my darling 3 year old named his cat with the worst 3 year old's swear word he could think of. Not coincidentally, "PICKLE!!!!!" has become somewhat of a swear word in my vocabulary too, as Pickle (the cat) is displaying behaviour that illicits naughty bad swear words that I, as a parent, am not allowed to say in front of a three year old. So, Pickle the cat isn't a *bastard cat* so much as a complete and utter "pickle"head.

My friend's three year old named their new Irish Wolfhound puppy "Telegraph." Don't ask why because, years later, the young lady herself doesn't know. Tellie lived about nine years, which is long for a wolfhound but it sure wasn't long enough for that little girl. The name really worked out all right and so will "pickle."

Does Cary say whether it's a sweet, dill, bread-and-butter, or other variety of Pickle?

Cary recognises lebanese cucumbers as pickles, but not regular or continental cucumbers (they're just cue-kers, according to him). We have to buy a 'pickle' (small p) every time we go fruit & veg shopping. Yowie > Would you believe its... > > You guessed it, > > They say "Oh Pickle". LOL! Well, the names of rumbunctious cats tend to become something of a swear word. You should hear me every time I say CaliBAN! ;) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I also love it when I hear some strange noise somewhere and ask, 'what's happening there?' and Caliban's head pops up with those huge, innocent eyes staring at me: 'nothing, Mum.

What's really cute is that Smudge knows *exactly* what's going on. She hears me raising my voice and going "No! Noooooo! Stop it. Stop it..." etc., in reproachful, warning tones, and she doesn't get in the least bit perturbed by my tone or volume, because she knows it's not directed at her (and in fact, she knows I'm trying to get The Brat off her case). Joyce (PS - I was deeply frightened to see a huge billboard with nothing but the word "AAAAALLLLLLLVIIIINNNN!!!" on it - in December, no less. Heaven help me, it was a Chipmunks Christmas movie. Which seems to be mercifully gone now.) (PPS - if you don't know what the Chipmunks are, consider yourself blessed and go on your merry way.)

I thought they were cute, but a whole movie would be a bit much. I didn't go see it.
