The Story of Pink and Green
Once upon a time… no, wait…it’s not a fairy tale exactly. But it’s the story of the Black Beasts. My kitties. Pink and Green.
Yes, the infamous Pink and Green. Why, yes, their collars do match their names. Or should we say that their names match their collars? Well, if you’re new to my blog, you’re probably wondering why the silly names? Why names cats after their collar color? Well, that would be a good question that any sane person would ask.
Well, back to the beginning of the story…I’ve always had a cat or two. Back in August ‘05 my cat, Sunny, died. I’d had Sunny for about 18 years. Now, when I married SuperGuy he wasn’t much of a cat person. But he knew from the start that Sunny was here to stay. But after Sunny died, I was thinking I would never have another cat, ’cause, you know, SuperGuy didn’t really like cats…
Then about a month later, SuperGuy says to me. “How about we go get you another cat.” 
I know, he’s the best guy ever! So SuperGuy and the Impish One and I go to the Humane Society. SuperGuy insists we need a black cat so it’s fur won’t show on his work pants. Whatever. 
I’m just happy to get another cat! So The Impish One and SuperGuy sit down on the floor in the “getting to know you” room at the Humane Society and have like 5 cats crawling all over them.
Of COURSE they can’t come to a decision about which of the black kitties has the best personality. You know where this is going, right? Well, of course you do, because you’ve seen my pics of both kitties. They said I –ME– that I should decide. Right, pick between the kitty my husband likes and the one my son likes. I don’t think so. Needless to say we came home with two kitties. That happen to have on a pink collar and a green collar.
We get home and ask all the boys, “So boys. What to you want to name them?”
Steak and Shake
Home and Depot
Nasty guy terms I can’t even sayThink body parts. 
TC and TOC (The Cat and The Other Cat)
(I could probably have lived with TC and TOC…) But for week the boys persisted in calling them by body parts… Okay, well disguised names for body parts, but still I could NOT take them to the vet and have them listed by those names!!! What would the vet think? What would my MOTHER think?? (well, she might not have caught on…)
Pink, when a littly kitty, on The Geeky One’s shoulder. While The Geeky One is on the cell phone. The boys are ALWAYS on the cell phone!
So after awhile, they kept being called Pink and Green after their collar colors. It kind of stuck, you know? Do you have any strange names for your pets?
