Giving The Cat A Name, Like Marriage, Is Not An Easy Thing. Soon I Experienced The Selection Of Name For A Baby, A Dog, A Book, A Warship, A Sports Team, Even The King, The Pope Or A Hurricane Is Just Child's Play Compared To The Selection Of The Cat's Name.

You Do Not Need To Belong To The Cat For A Long Time To Realize The Main Thing That Cats Like To Do Is To Wrap Theirselves Up In Mystery, Perhaps Only Except For A Hobby Of Jumbling Up Everything That Is In Order. And If The Cat Can, And Usually So, Make A Great Mystery Of Where It Was When You Were Searching For It Even If A Moment Ago It Was Sitting By Your Side, Do Not Have Any Doubts: Its Ancestors Had A Great Pleasure To Surround Its Origin By Mystery.
