Named By the Grandchildren

My cats were named by four of my two hundred grandchildren. Mr. Fluffy Pants is a gray tabby with white socks, easy to see at night. Shark is a large intimidating gray outside monster cat; he eats heads off anything that runs past - they roll around on my porch daily. Panda, a sleek black beauty, is haughty with all of us except one. Except on Wednesdays; Panda is always haughty to everyone on Wednesdays. Because I get home an hour late, and she gets angry about her dinner being at 5:30 instead of 4:30. Road Kill, lives down to his name; I doubt I can do better with the description - straggly, mean green eyes, scrappy looking brown, yellow and white thing, always in the road.

Well those, "two hundred grandchildren" seem to have some naming expertise. I am so familiar with rolling heads and tails. I've buried a ton of them.

I usually take them up to the dumpster right away; we live in the country and have our own.
