Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

What is the story behind how your pets got their name?

Boog: We went round and round for a week or two when we adopted our cat as a kitten 8 years ago. Her name at the rescue was Hansel. She was a little snotty from her vaccinations and she really liked giving us kisses on our noses and right above our lips. We named her Booger Ann (BoogBoog).

SamSam: he found us when his family moved out and left their two cats behind. He showed up on the porch one day. He was about 1yo and skinny, so I started calling him Slinky Sam. Slinky Sam got very round so now he's SamSam TubbTubbs, Samuel Rotten, or the Grey Bastard.

Bitsy Beans: Bitsy was originally found in an abandoned apartment complex in the dead of winter. She was only half of her healthy weight, skin and bones, and terrified. Her foster rescue named her Gypsy Lu since she had been wandering. We changed her name to Bitsy Beans (but she was almost named Lizzo because she's a little thick, sassy, and needs tempo). Now she's my Beanken Boo, BittelyBeepBop.

This was an absolute joy to read lol. I love the names and how they flavour the description of their personalities.
