when i was a kid we had a cat named top cat
but we never put him in a top hat

when i was a kid we had a calico cat named calicocat
because we were creative like that

when i was a kid we had a cat named whiskers because when you have 14 cats you kinda start to give up on the naming thing

when i was a kid we had a pony with a patchy black-n-white coloring that we called Apache

whiskers ran away!
actually, if one of our cats had run away, I may not noticed

when I was a kid we had a cat named mother,
our oldest cat
who gave birth to most our other cats
long story short
one day
dad shot her
