had a fair few cats over the years, won't list them all - J has been taken to naming them after his long-deceased great aunts and uncles! Before that there was an Oedipus ( I think all the neighbours heard it as 'Eedapuss'?) and if I had had an overlapping female she would have been Jocatsa (OK I do know the correct name is Jocasta!) Later we had a ginger tom we named Kilkenny who was keen on rough and tumble ('fighting like Kilkenny cats') thread drift -- my current group of chickens are: Speckle, Blanche, Velvet, Greysmoke. Yellowlegs, Spice, Bessie and Peter Previous ones included Boris and Sybil,Splotch, Austin and Harry (!)Ginger, Tufty. All of whom variously succumbed over the years to Mink / Pine Marten(s) / fox and someone's Husky that slipped the lead.
