I’m the human of a cat named Piccolo, because when he was a kitten, he meowed like a little flute.

    We have a dog which was called Betohven from the shelter. We called him Mozart, since it feels more… Manageable … YKWIM

    I don’t actually know! Her microchip says her name is Shirley, but I tried two phone numbers and a physical address and never got in touch with her previous owner. I had been workshopping names for a while but I figure she prefers that one, so she’s still Shirley.

    Aaaaaaand…

    Yes we have yet a other dog, the oldest one, 12yo. She come from the shelter her name is Giada (Jade). We never changed it. Funny how that’s also a commonish human name and has been hilarious sometimes in the past in crowded places…

    We also have two cats, brothers. They got called Tom and Jerry.

    Named due to ignorance by my kids at the time… Jerry turned out the smart and bossy one and Tom the other one…

    We don’t have pets but our neighbour has two cats and they are the bane of my existence. Yowling at the door even though we’ve never fed the little bastards, and scaring the birds away as they like to shake the branches of our tree.

    As a result, we call the grey one “that little shit”, and the dotted one “that little cunt”. The names have stuck in our household, and we have to watch ourselves when we trade pleasantries with the neighbours.

    Spanish horror film called “El orfanato” (The Orphanage). The woman spent a lot of time calling for her son, “Simón” so now I do too. My son is a cat though.

      I cannot recommend that film enough to anyone who’s a fan of horror movies which are more than just a fun spoop.
