What's in a name?

This week marked a one year anniversary since getting our newest little cat, Chihiro. She is a cuddly little long-haired cat that loves to be around people and play fetch. She is also a bully to our older, bigger cat Penfold, who could easily hurt her if he really wanted. Most people notice right away that little Chihiro has close-set weepy eyes and she looks like a goofy little lion. Most people also take to Chihiro right away and give her a nickname. Here are the names she has accumulated in the year we've had her:

• Chi-chi
• Chichimon, sometimes Chichiman
• Chi-chi Rodriguez
• Chi-chi Ri Ri
• Chi-chi Ri-chi
• Cheech
• Cheech monster
• Chick-a-boo
• La lioneta
• Ichiro
