Blackcatter -- what great pics!

Maybe your friend just thought that "Snickers" would be a good name for a kitty?

I remember once that I tried to write a piece of collaborative fiction with someone by email, and I gave one of the characters a pet cat named Pheno Menon -- "Pheno" for short (neither the fiction nor the friendship really worked, unfortunately).

Thinking of it as a two-part name is still the best way I have to remember the spelling of "phenomenon." :-)
