A character in the "Lion King"? Okay try finding out where these 3 names come from: Fugazi, RDNZL and Sarrasine and yes they are all cats I have been owned by along with Speedy Joe and Isis. RDNZL and Sarrasine are the current Fabulous Furballs Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Fugazi, I have learned that this can mean several things however there was a band called marrilion in the late 70's early 80's who had a song called Fugazi, it is also itillian for pizza. and viatnameese slang for f***ed up and Sarrasine stands for chaos. am I correct?? do you have crazy cats?? >> Mines is called Kovu >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Fugazi, I have learned that this can mean several things however there was a > band called marrilion in the late 70's early 80's who had a song called > Fugazi, it is also itillian for pizza. and viatnameese slang for f***ed up > and Sarrasine stands for chaos. am I correct?? do you have crazy cats?? Fugazi was the title of a Marillion album and also a band. I don't know about the Italian connection but the word is Vietnamese for "chaos" and was used by US troops in Vietnam as another version of "fubar". Sarrasine is a short story by Balzac but the name is a corruption of the French medieval word "Sarrasin" which comes from the much older "Saracen", which means "a dark skinned person" (she's a black cat and a very definite person!). It's also apparently been used for a type of hearse, a region of France and an avant-garde film Did you get anything for RDNZL? And I was nice, I spelt it in the original form rather than the phonetic spelling I use when talking to people about her Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs PS Of course I have crazy cats, doesn't everyone? > > Mines is called Kovu > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > A character in the "Lion King"? Actually, Kovu was a character from Lion King II. :) Thats true Rene! Never noticed that mistake tee hee >> > Mines is called Kovu >> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Actually, Kovu was a character from Lion King II. :) > Mines is called Kovu > Anyone better that??? I'm not sure if mine is any BETTER, but it is funny how well my kittens fit their names! I have two Bengals named Ares and Athene. (Yep, they are from the breeder's A-litter.) I learned in school that Ares was the greek war god of close quarter combat and fierce battles. Athene was the goddess of wisdom as well as the war goddess - she was the one for tactics and higher strategies. Now, my Ares is a complete maniac when he gets in a playful mood: he'll run rampage, swat at everything on his way, speed up so hard he sometimes misjudges and bounces off things that are on his path of mayhem. Athene on the other hand likes to find a higher location, like on the sofa's armrest, and get a overwiev before she enters the battle. She prefers to sneak up on things, stay hidden and study her target before she moves in for the kill. I've been thinking maybe I should ask the breeder for adresses for the others that got kittens from that litter - they were all named for greek gods and godesses (Afrodite, Aremis and Apollon) and I wonder if they are all as aptly named as mine :) > > Mines is called Kovu > > Anyone better that??? [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > greek gods and godesses (Afrodite, Aremis and Apollon) and I wonder if > they are all as aptly named as mine :) could you repeat the quesiton please.,, just kidding NO... breeder is not going to give you private names and phoneo numbers and YOU are not going to call and ask them what they named their cats that's crazy! Hello, my Name is Stalk-R, I was wondering what you named your cat "WHO IS THIS?" just playing with you, it is interesting, doubtful breeder would dot hat for you but I bet the cat owners would tell you the names CAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF PEOP;E WE ARE how much did you pay for your cats? bobmarley skrev: > Hello, my Name is Stalk-R, I was wondering what you named your cat I say PRFFF to you ^^ Of course I would not ask for adresses, it was a bad idea, written down before I tought of it. It DOES sound like I'm some nut stalking my cats' siblings. If I really were to do it, I'd just ask the breeder - I know she likes to keep in touch with the buyers and check up on how "her" kittens are doing :) she would know. (about the starseekR thing: i'm a old-time chatter, using EFNet where they won't allow nicks longer than 9 symbols, and since i've had starseeker as a nick for as long as i've been using a pc, i had to shorten it down ;)) Lesley you have put a lot of thought into your cats names ill give you that! My cat at the moment is going crazy with his bag! he looks the spitting image of Felix but I didnt think it very original to call him that. I have a cockatiel named Kiara so thought it would be nice to call him Kovu, and before you ask the cat n bird and flounder my fish all get on fine. > Mines is called Kovu > > Anyone better that??? > > Better still anyone any idea where I got the name?? > Lesley you have put a lot of thought into your cats names ill give you that! Not really, they suit their names. Fugazi (RB) was chaos. Sarrasine is a dark skinned person and RDNZL bounces! (It's pronounced Redunzel and is the title of a Frank Zappa instrumental piece inspired by a kitten (Which he called RDNZL but his little boy renamed kitten) bouncing about) > My cat at the moment is going crazy with his bag! he looks the spitting > image of Felix but I didnt think it very original to call him that.

As long as you don't leave them in the room together ;-))))) Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Lesley they are in the same room from about 8:30 am till 4 in the afternoon while am working lol my cat is too much of a suke to gofor the bird or fish. he doesnt even like going out the door! he is just over 2 years old and his paws are still pure pink like kittens. >> Lesley you have put a lot of thought into your cats names ill give you >> that!

After which they commenced calling him "Rick the Dick."
