Pretty boring, and unimaginative as well. I had a burning question with a cat that was almost 2 weeks "overdue" with kittens, and did a Google search for "Pregnant cat" or something like that. I used my first initial and last name, because it was the middle of the night and I thought I needed answers. Of course, she gave birth within 6 hours. (First name: Kim - Last name: Luchetta) (read: Kay-Loo-Chet-Uh) I didn't know I'd stick around for a year and have 2000 posts and tons of good friends here!!!

Yeah, I think these instructions came too late for me...I can't seem to undo the pronunciation I already use for you: "clue shetta"


Mine is simple enough, aside from my full time job, I also do some freelance photography, so clixpix = clicks pics. I've used that one for years, and for absolutely everything.

My username for here is different to most places (don't really know why!
) Actually, I think the main reason - like many others, I didn't expect to stick around!


My username is a nickname I've had for years, it's just my name without the 'ah'
So, Sar is pronounced 'Sair'!

Every time I see FWAN I say it to myself over and over trying to get it right. I still have to say it a couple of times.

My username is also pretty self-explanatory.
I have no idea why I came up with this. I have a completely different username for all of my other logins.

My dad always used to call us the 'three little misses' when we were kids, but my little sister couldn't say little and said ickle instead, it stuck and I have always used icklemiss. I guess I started using it for logins when I was 21 (maybe) and have just kept the same numbers to make it easier to remember logins

Thats a good idea. If someone googles your user name at least they won't find you on every forum you belong to.

Stacie= first name
J= JosÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]'s last and first name start with J.

I actually wanted to register as Devin, but I figured that might have confused people with me being a girl and all.

My user name is from a british comedy called Father Ted. Mrs Doyle is the housekeeper at the vicarage and is my favourite comedy character ever! "go on, go on, you will, you will!"

Mine comes from the T.S. Eliot poem called The Naming of Cats, but I spell it differently.

The naming of cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have three
different names.

First of all, there's the name
that the family use daily,
Such as Victor, or Jonathan,
George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names
if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen,
some for the dames;
Such as Plato, Admetus,
Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you,
a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that is peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he
keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers,
or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind,
I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quazo or Coripat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellyrum--
Names that never belong
to more than one cat.

But above and beyond
there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you will never guess;
The name
that no human research can discover--
But The Cat Himself Knows,
and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought,
of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
