Had a Tigger once but other cats were Bitsy, Rascal, Georgie Mittens, Bandit, Frieda, Agatha, Boomer, and current one is Roo who has one underdeveloped front paw that doesn’t reach the floor. His walk is rather lurching–sort of like a kangaroo.

The only one off the list that I’ve had, I once had a Bailey.

We now have Tiki, Charles (NOT Charlie) and Goliath, aka Golly.

I have a Sam, but he goes by Blue, Misha Blue, Smeesh and just about anything BUT Sam (he’s a Russian Blue). Then I have Jake, Ophelia, Zander, and Tyler. All cats.
