Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005Finally - a name
As many of you know, DH and I are both auto racing fans and yet neither of us felt that the name Mario fit our little black cat. Every time I tried it out I'd see that obnoxious little guy from the video games. None of the M names seemed right. TED thinks he's around 1.5 y/o and he has very sharp little kitten teeth and claws. After he attacked my toe (aka blanket mouse) and left it bleeding I considered Bear or Badger and although Bear seemed to work DH didn't like it. I tried other names that just didn't fit but there was one that I kept coming back to. He has the look. He has the teeth and he has the claws. So our little black cat is now Barnabus. And he seems pleased with that name :) Julie and The Pride of Stone Mountain (we're getting icy rain tonight and I'm so very happy that Barnabus is inside where it is warm and dry) > As many of you know, DH and I are both auto racing fans and yet neither > of us felt that the name Mario fit our little black cat.

How cute :) >> As many of you know, DH and I are both auto racing fans and yet neither >> of us felt that the name Mario fit our little black cat. Every time I [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Barney! How cute :) My maternal grandmother had a d*g named Barney. His mother was a Spitz named Polly and his father was a vagabond Airedale. I was about eight years old. Thanks for the memory. MLB >>Julie and The Pride of Stone Mountain >> >>(we're getting icy rain tonight and I'm so very happy that Barnabus is >>inside where it is warm and dry) > > Barney! How cute :) I don't think she named him after Barney, I think Barnabus Collins of Dark Shadow fame is more likely. The little vampire kitty sneaks up to her feet and bites the toes through the blankets. Satiated, he ghosts into another room and looks for prey of the feline kind... Pam S. liking Barnabus, but afraid of those fang thingies >>> Julie and The Pride of Stone Mountain >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Pam S. liking Barnabus, but afraid of those fang thingies OOoooooh. I didn't know that name. I do like it though. >>> Julie and The Pride of Stone Mountain >>> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Pam S. liking Barnabus, but afraid of those fang thingies I'm trying to get caught up, failing miserably (oh well) but wanted to say that Yes, Barnabus is named after the vampire in Dark Shadows. When I was a teenager (in the late 60's) I would get home from school just before Dark Shadows came on television. I watched daily. I hadn't really thought of it again until Barnabus came into our lives. I think because he's black I can see his fangs so much better than I can the other cats and therefore he looks like a vampire.

Avery went out long enough to get soaked ... twice. Fleagor went out but came back in so quickly only his tail got wet (when he turned around on the top step, his tail swung under the eves drip). The others didn't even try to go out. According to the weather radar, we (south central Missouri) were north of the winter mix area and were getting snow - the radar was wrong. SignatureT.E.D.

LOL Jill >Julie and The Pride of Stone Mountain > >(we're getting icy rain tonight and I'm so very happy that Barnabus is inside where it is warm and dry) Like the vampire on Dark Shadows?

Was this inspired by "Dark Shadows"? Christine (snippety) So our little > black cat is now Barnabus.

He still reminds me of Tallulah, though. ;-) ------ Krista Who's getting *cold* rain; please keep the ice up there with you > So our little > black cat is now Barnabus. And he seems pleased with that name :) Welcome Barnabus! A fine name it is.
