Kim, go with your gut feeling, all animals need a good home and yours is one :)

Eyes I'll quote you on my divorce papers!!!!!! :-))))))))

We had a cat (died 2 years ago) named MOGGY. Being from Liverpool that's a normal name for a cat! I had to explain to the Canadians what Moggy meant~!

Tell your neighbours that they are wrong!!!! A moggy is a cat!

We also had a pet hedgehog called "Spud" - don't know how she got that name!

We also had a turtle for over 19 years called Myrtle. She was missed when she went. We also had a turtle during this time called Sherman, as in Tank. Had a pet camen called George, and a set of hermit crabs called Beau and Jest.

My 19 year old has just started a fish tank. It must be genetic- when I met his father he had a 150 gallon one. Anyway I thought that it would be nice to buy him a couple of "housewarming tank" fish. I chose a pair of Strawberry Tettra's and I named them Pinky and Perky (had to explain). Deb

My son's hamster is called Elephant - after the kids' prog "Little Bill" in which there is also a hamster called Elephant. Easy, really, but we do get some strange reactions to it!! Kim xx

I've had so many cats, dogs, rabbits etc. I had a hamster years ago called Saddlebags due to his markings. At the moment I have a tabby cat called Slinky and a big black labrador called Nelly. There is a story behind this name, but it will take me ages to type it. Jo.

First dog was Jet cos he was black, next one was Shep guess what breed !!!!! then a few pets named because liked the names.Smudge the cat because she looked like someone had picked her up and left black smudge marks on her white fur! Bassey the cat after berty bassett cos he was black with white. Present cat is Claude Jeremiah Greengrass known to all as Claude because when he was a tiny kitten on the farm he blinked his eyes so much he was like Greengrass out of Heartbeat Tyke the dog because he was born in Yorkshire simple really !!!!!

We've got 2 dogs who was already named by their previous owner.. Wait for it.. My dog's called Jaz (Jazmine) - Border Collie X My partner's dog's called Jazz (Lady Jazz) - German Shepherd Can you imagine my horror after meeting my partner and he tells me of her name.. I was like (uh-oh!) Found it's easier to call for them 2.. JAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ!!! Both came :oD T Have had too many pets to list ;)

You guys helped me name Clicquot my cat but a very funny story.... my pal bought a kitten that was a grey long haired and called her Suede as her mother was wearing Grey Suede shoes the day she met her dad and she knew her mum wouldn't be able to attempt to talk her into taking her back!! ;o)

we have a cat called lucky because he's pure black.not that he has brought us any luck yet!!!!people always say their pets look like there owners and they always pick their animals for this reasonxxxx(:

We re-homed our dog, so he already had a name, but the first dog we had (when I was about 3) was called Ranji. I'm told my Dad named him after an Indian cricketer!

We had been promised a puppy and he duly arrived - a small bundle you could hold in one hand. My husband is a cricket fan and arrived at the name Wisden. Four days later we still didn't seem to be able to call him Wisden! - so he was called Harry - why? - because he was ginger and the friend who gave my husband a lift to work was ginger haired and called Harry (we never told him). This brought everything back - we had him for 14 years and he died a year ago today - still loved and still missed.

MY SON CALLED OUR VERY FIRST PUSSY CAT "SUNSHINE" EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BLACK AND WHITE, AS SHE TRULY WAS THE "SUNSHINE OF OUR LIVES". SHE LIVED TO 19 YEARS OLD AND I STILL MISS HER! JACQUI

My very first cat, when I was 19 and living in a ground floor flat, was called Shelley ( I thought it was a sweet name, but she turned out to be a right madam. Didnt need to change her name, just put Mary in front of it :) She was 12 when she died, kidney failure. She was on a special diet for about 3 yrs. She was a right charactor, and I can picture her now. Lovely memory :)

My Yorkie terrier is called Beckham, because he likes football and I like Beckham, also my Beckham can head a balloon half a dozen times or more without it touching the ground. Then I have a tortoise, called Tortie,

My eldest cat is named Max - after an advert for Maxwell House coffee, and my younger is called Coco - after Coco Chanel. Previous cats we've had: Dusty Chippy x 2 (1st one found stray by Dad on building site - he was a carpenter) Barney Ozzie x 2 (1st named after Ozzie Ardiles ?? who played for Tottenham at the time) Penny Mum & Dad's were named Rosie & Jim by previous owners - Dad also called Jim, so can get confusing at times lol....... "Jim bought a mouse in last night/Jim jumped in thru the window/Jim's been a little b*gger".......Dad or the cat????
