     I have had the rare honor of owning or being acquainted with:

	0.  A cat named "Paranoia".
	1.  A cat named "Dummy".  She also responded to "Stupid".
	2.  A cat named "Crip"
	3.  A cat named "Svart".  The word is Icelandic for "black".
	    Needless to say, he was a black cat.
	4.  A dog named "Snort".  He later had a son named "Toke".
	5.  A female dog named "Magenta".  Rocky Horror fans will understand
	    this one.
	6.  A friend has a female dog named "Charlie".
	7.  I knew someone that had a cat named "Dog".  He used to make
	    a habit of beating up the neighborhood dogs.
	8.  I told the MOTAS that I would like to name our next cat "Taco"
	    or "Burrito", but I may settle for one of the Kzinti names that
	    I ran across in Niven's "Known Space" series.

     If MOTAS gave me a slug, I would name it, of course, "Sluggo".
