I have had a long string of cats in my life. The first two were strays who wandered into our garage when I was about 5. Brother and sister, they found us from a sheep farm nearby. The male (who later died of feline leukemia) we named Smokey since he was grey, and the female we named Scruffy, due to her long fur. Remember, my sister and I were young, so we weren't very sophisticated in our naming at the time!
One night when I was in eighth grade, while my dad and I were out for a walk, we came across a fluffy orange cat. She followed us home and became part of the family. This was the late nineties and I was (as most young girls) obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, so I named her Backstreet.
My sister got a kitten who she named Kivrin after a favorite sci-fi book character, my mom had a kitten named Zoe Constanza after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's wife, and I named my baby, Thora, after the greek God Thor, since she is grey. Our new kitten, Eli's full name is Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin... named by by partner because he likes random Americana
