mine is my name, Katie, plus my made-up middle name (I don't have one) plus my birthdate! it was safer to go with my name than one of my cats'


Keycube, are you really a Buckeye? What's it like living in MI?

Mine's not terribly creative.
It's just one of my cat's names...I figured it was fitting since it was a cat forum.

rahma is mercy in arabic and is the husband's petname for me. It's also been my online handle for ages, although since I adopted Squeaky, I've been changing it to UmmSqueakster (mother of the Squeakster in arabic). Alas, can't change my name here

Mine is the last name of my favorite baseball team's manager. I guess I am the weirdest person here using that name. I just wanted something different
It has nothing at all to do with my real name.

Mine is my cat Miagi's name. I only had Miagi at the time I joined then we adopted Tiger a few months later after I joined. So under my username I put Miagi & Tiger's mommy.
I also have dogs, too but I used his name since this is a cat forum.

I live in an apartment and whatever room you are in there is always a cat nearby,sometimes a bit to close and stubborn to move. My fiance and I have it set up rather different...cats got the bedroom as playground and we have bed in living room like a studio apartment.

I have had my name for this and almost every other aspect of online life for 20 years or so. Ever since I became an online junky!

It is because of a cat that I had at the time named Kiki. I was trying to think of a unique name and she walked across the floor in front of me.... The name CatKiki popped into my mind. Kiki is now playing happily over the Rainbow bridge and leaving us at the ripe old age of about 18.

I wish I had a pic of her for the RB page of the calendar, but all my pics of her were lost in the move.

Wow, that's a huge basket of eggs!


Mines irony...Mostly because I believe that I'm no plain-Jane, I'm a great person...Hesitated to explain it because it makes me sound exceedingly vain, lol.

Normally I use Chris or ChristinaM because thats my name....but I couldn't get any of the ones I use on other boards and I need to keep them the same so I'll remember them.

I use Snake_Lady on a couple forums, and it stands out, plus it is a nickname I have in real life.....and of course, its becuz I keep and breed snakes

An honorary Buckeye; an OSU football fan back to the days of Art Schlichter (wow, dating myself a bit!). I feel I paid my dues through the 90's with plenty of humiliating losses - and the subsequent ribbing that goes with it - to that team up north (well...to my east)

Sneakymom

We have a kitty named Sneaky Pie, and I'm her mom.


Though as I've said before, a more appropriate name would be Pewter. If you've ever read Rita Mae Brown's books- Pewter is- fat. And that's what Sneaky is


Of course, I could always say that I have teenagers and I need to be a sneakymom to find out what they're doing
But my kids have NEVER given me any cause to go sneaking around their rooms


On a more serious note- we've also got a kitty named Mistoflees. And I'm not so sure about him. He's 17, and I have a real funny feeling that we're going to lose him to the rainbow bridge soon
He hasn't been acting himself for a couple of days.

And mine is my real first name (Carol), plus Petunia, one of my father's nicknames for me. I used to worry that he was thinking of Porky Pig's girlfriend, but then I realized he probably came up with it because his mother's (real) name was Pansy.

Mine's so simple---my first name and the most exciing year my life. I graduated high school, met the love of my life, and married him 4 months later---all in '74.
