I was a big cat fan during DS' stint on the air. I recall Peter, a nasty black male that was always fighting and getting nasty wounds, named for Dr. Peter Guthrie, the parapsychologist who died at Laura's hands. Then there was the black female I wanted to name Angelique, but knew my brother would never put up with such a name and I had to be clever. So I suggested Angel. He thought it neat to name a black cat Angel, so that's the name she kept.
My hubby and son are allergic to cats, so we've always had dogs in my married household. Right now, Snapple Bundy Vogel, a black and gray schnoodle, rules our roost. He's totally adorable--and knows it. He'll climb on the table and try to steal food, if he can get away with it, but we watch him carefully. He did get hold of a bunch of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and scarfed them up. At least it took care of his dog breath!
Joshua was once a cat in 1795. DS and cats go well together, and so do animal lovers of all types!
Love, Robin
