Pet NamesI once knew a cat called Lenin. It got diarrhea so they renamed it Trotsky. Tell us the name of your pet - but only if you've got an amusing or interesting reason for it. Tiddles need not apply.

HerpesOur second cat was supposed to be called Herpes, but my mother instisted on calling him Hermes on account of being unwilling to stand at our back door shouting for Herpes.
I thought it'd be excellent; if it ran away you'd be walking along the street shouting- "Herpes!"
Which probably'd mean a rozzer'd ask
"What d'you think you are doing, madam?"
"Looking for Herpes."
"Herpes, Madam?"
"Well, you see it's my pussy. I've had it since I was little, but it's a lovely fluffy wee thing."
But we really shouldn't have been allowed to have hamsters- names ranged from Nobby (partly after the Discworld character, partly because his nuts dragged along the cage floor) to Spunky (looked like the dog from Rocko's modern life) to Duracell (the horniest hamster in the world- it was ever ready).
