my nephew has a new cat -- named Megaphone
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 03:09 PM by Bog Frog
My sister surprised him and his older sister. They wanted a second cat and my sister said "no way" for so long. Yesterday at work she heard of a rescued kitten and decided to take it home. Totally shocked the kids (boy 13, girl 16).

It's a boy, ten weeks old. A tuxedo cat. They named it Megaphone. They wanted to name it after some anime character but decided the name sounded too feminine. So since it has a purr that could wake the dead, they named it Megaphone after the anime character's weapon or special characteristic or whatever.

Megaphone the cat. :D

Cats are great fun for kids. Especially when they grow up in a house of kids. :hi:

7. you can see I live far away from them
or they would've inveigled me into their world of video games -- and I would've known this isn't an anime character. Thanks for the education. ;)
