Anyone who’s as cccccccccrazy about musical theatre as I may someday be has just gots to be familiar with the long-running show of ever-times, CATS. To paraphrase someone, that show must have about nine lifetimes or something! If you’re not familiar with the show, it’s actually based on a book of poetry by the happiest of cuddly-poets ever, T.S. Eliot. Eliot had an unusual procedure for naming cats, which always resulted in cuckoo-nutso names, and has now been declared illegal in 28 states (including yours!) What you may not know is that he also named other pets, and here now I will share with you just a smattering of those equally cuckoo-nutso names (including some cat ones!)
-Platypus Jack (dog)
-Bubblypants McMillan (beta fish)
-Dog (cat)
-Number Johnny Five (mouse)
-Penis Breath (Eliot’s brother)
-Sweet Potato (manatee)
-Carmen San Diego (wolf spider)
-Use Your Illusion II (rock)
-Fleblee McGooGoo (daughter)
-Stupid-Ass Bird (canary)
-Untitled (boa constrictor)
-Yes, I Can (Sammy Davis, Jr.’s autobiography)
-Ali No Gator (crocodile)
-Super Bowl Shuffle (horse)
-Mickey (mouse)
