In my years of owning cats and kittens, I wind up naming them all after favorite characters from: tv shows, video games, movies, and cartoons.
Except for four cats...
Pute - My first cat at age six (one I can remember). I was age six and thought the made-up word was cute for some reason. Long passed away, RIP.
Mr. Meeks - He was named that because he would cry, "meeeeek" all the time. He died of old age, several years ago, RIP.
Feathers - Because his fur was very long on the top of his head and moved like feathers in the wind. RIP.
Bubbles - She is simply named this because of her huge bubbly eyes.
But all other cats in my childhood history was named after fictional characters. The first cat my parents ever got for me (I was a four years old and only know him by family photos) was named "Fat Albert". And yet, my mother thought it was weird when I name a cat after a Japanese anime character, in my teens. Anime is a cartoon too, just produced in Japan.
