For Those With Pets....
    #10694498 -

How many different names do you have for them, and have you ever considered how different facets of their personality and the different manners in which they interact with you at different times are helping to create these inflections in their monikers? :stoned:

We have a wonderful Birman female kitty. Her given name is Dainty, but her casual name is Poofs.
To be confused with Poof-o, or Poof-ă (ă= uh :wink:), or Pooficus, or Kă-Poofs, or Poofy, or Pufoşenie, şi aşa mai departe. :lol:

I think it is that, the observation of different behaviors, feelings, and being-s, that is responsible for the morphology, evolution, and creation of language.
Not necessarily a new thought, but a fun one when you realize how many different names you have for the same person.
Yes, a cat is a person (in the sociological or psychological sense of the word, domains which transcend being human). :smirk:

What do you think impelled you to produce these various names in the moments in which they sprang forth? That's mainly what I was talking about. :wink:

I have a dog chihuahua/pug mix. 'TAZ'  He got his name from his tazmanian devil personality as a puppy. This later morphed into TazBo. He's 15 years old now, and we call him 'old man'. My wife sometimes calls him smeagol beause when he's not doing anything else, he's licking his 'precious'.

To express my feelings of course.

My old parrot's official name was Mr. Bird, but I ended up calling him Poid. I have a cat named Oreo, but I sometimes call him Oreech because I think it sounds cute! :grin:

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

I have 2 cats. A 6 month old thats named Tybalt and a slightly older cat named Socrates that i'm Cat-sitting for the summer.

Socrates gained a lot of weight since he's been here so we call him Fatums as well as Socks and So-Crates

Tybalt is most commonly referred to as Tits. My friend calls him this so now nearly everyone does. I asked why Tits and he said why not. I didn't argue.

I care for a pair of Bufo Alvarius that were previously Truffleupagus', named Dimitri and Oksana (he named them), a veiled chameleon without a name, three mice, Huey, Annabelle (after the disney duck and an old woman I know), and Roxanne(just thought of this name as I typed this because I hadn't had one yet, its just what I thought of directly after I typed the first two, so I chose that). 

Often when I try to reflect on what the animal is thinking I end up bouncing myself off it as if it were a mirror.  In a way, they are.  We don't know what or if an animal is thinking, so all that we put into its head, for ourselves, consists only of our own ideas and emotions.

When I handle the toads, I find that if I am calm, they are calm.  I would guess this is because I'm not acting like a predator.  With my mice, I have to keep the females separate, and I switch the male back and fourth to get pinky mice, while removing him so he doesn't eat the young.  I haven't tried handling the chameleon yet, mainly because he gets really pissed off when I get close at all (as most chameleons do).  The interesting part about the chameleon is that supposedly his colors are influenced by his mood.  When he is really happy or really distressed, his colors flare up and he looks totally different form his normally mottled black/brown/green color.  I don't know how much stock to put into the subjective characteristics of the emotions he supposedly feels, but I do witness that he does change color sometimes.
