My cat had decided since you don't own a cat (he has a heart for those who are cat-deprived), you may blame all on him. However, this can only be considered a short-term solution...reccomendation-adopt a cat or a kitten if you must (Simba find kittens tiresome).

Seriously, the cat's name is Simba. My kids love The Lion King. At one time we had a two dogs named Sassy and Shadow. The Kids loved Homeward Bound also.

That is SO cool!!!! When my son was small and got his first dog he named it.....oh never mind. It's embarrassing.

Oh heck, he won't read this. He named the dog Knott's Berry Farm. No, the name didn't stick. We talked him out of it. THAT was a weird dog, and I mean WEIRD.

Now we have Lucky-named in honor of President Reagan's dog Lucky-the one who was banished from the White House. My dog has lived up to his namesake, and I have threatened banisnment more than once (among other dire fates for this mutt- he looks like a large Benjy)
