Well, Indi is pretty adamant against a name change, so I guess that's out anyways. Although, he calls him nippers, knickers, sneakers, snippers, etc., so I guess any of those are ok.

If he was a girl, I'd call him Miss Norris.

We put the dogs out tonight to bring him down to show my sister, and Snickers and Karma saw each other through the glass door. Snickers looked angry and Karma looked intrigued, but neither looked vicious, so I think there is hope.

Today when we got home from the zoo, I looked all over my room and bathroom and couldn't find Snickers anywhere. I finally found him curled up by the toilet in between the wall and the trash can. Nutty cat. Earlier he found a nice spot to sleep on my closet shelf. I've missed cats.

Still working on the pics!

Our bunny loves that spot and seeks it out whenever we leave the bathroom door open. Munchkin loves the cold, even on cold nights. Too much fuzz! I'd figure a big cat probably produces a lot of heat as well.

My cat sits there when she can get in my bathroom. She doesn't do it in the front bathroom, only in mine.

OMG... your dog's name is Karma? I have the PERFECT name for your cat: Dogma!

I renamed both of mine, but they were very young and probably had no clue they had been named in the first place. Tango does respond to her name, but she also responds to brat cat and follows me when I call her. So I tend to think in many instances it is the tone of my voice rather than what I'm saying. Like that old Far Side cartoon, "What you say and what dogs (cats) hear" "Stop that bad Ginger!" "Blah blah blah Ginger"

Congrats on the new addition to the family!

I had two Maine Coons - I got them when they were 10 - they lived to almost 20 and 21. They tend to be fairly healthy/long lived breeds, so don't be surprised!

My current cat (Jaxie, in my avatar) came to me at 7 or 8 - and I'm thankful for the shorter hair (though I think he has more hair follicles then the other two!)

I didn't rename any of them, though.

I think he should be called "Algernon Bimo MCG Trevor Jolimont Thurston Howell the Third".
