Smokey and Midnight are 2 of my cats! Midnight is of course black and Smokey is gray! And we have a dog that is named Oreo!

I loved this article especially since Molly was one of the top names. It means "Star of the Sea" and I think that pertains to our Molly who loves water. Both to drink and play in it with her paws.

Cool! I dont have a cat I have to admit but there are some cats and kittens in my backyard.I named them all so Blizzard ( I think a mix because he is white with brown ears,tail,legs and some brownish
stripes on its face and legs) Pouncy , Jaggy , Tiny (the only female kitten ), Munchy , Lucky , Jasmine: tabby ( the big sister from last year's litter ) she comes over once awhile and has her own 2 kittens who doesn't come now
Francis: Tuxedo I dont exactly know the gender though because he has something covering his angus and stuff.
