I once knew a family whose dog and cat were called Vodka and Tonic.

One of my two BFF wanted me to call my two cats Gin and Tonic!

I didn't!!!

I came across a Nigel the cat on FB. I thought that was brilliant!

My cats have literary names. I adopted Tolstoy and Tolkien. Tolstoy sadly died. Tolkien's kitten playmate is called Tennyson. My previous cat was called Nicodemus - Nico for short.

I was once in the vet with someone whose cat was named Snowy. He was black.

My pug is called Pingu. When we’re out and about and people ask his name you can see it means nothing to kids, but lots of adults get all nostalgic over the programme they’d forgotten about 😊
