A Rose By Any Other Name?

Yes!  I would be just as sweet!  In fact, my real name is Sweet Pea.  Its the mom who started called me Oui Oui.

One of Goldie's first days as Sweet Pea.

During my days at the shelter, I was known as Goldie.  That was a hard one to understand until years later my mom met the lady who named me at an adoption fair.  It turns out I had litter mates - Opal, Onyx, Pearl - all named for jewels.  Being the last one left, the reason for my name wasn't apparent.

When I got to my new home, I ran around for 20 minutes like a wild cat.  It just felt SO good to be out of the cage.  My new beans laughed, and the mom wanted to name me Jubilee, but The Girl insisted on Sweet Pea.  It does fit me, I AM a sweet heart, after all!

Soon I would be known as Oui Oui.

I love to play with all kitties, and I like everyone.  The mom started calling me Oui Oui because I never said "No" to a chance to play.  When The Girl went away to collich, the mom worried about having someone to play with me, so she got me my very own kitty to play with, Mica Minnie Moo.

Our blog is named after me too, cause another of my nicknames is Twinkletoes.  When I run, my legs just move faster, but my stride stays the same length, making my toes look like they are "twinkling".  I hate to say it, but there are even more nicknames - Sugar Bee, Whippy Tail, and I really hate this new one, Tubby.  Ugh!

What's In A Name?

Sugar and Spice and everything nice!

I just love Naming and Gotcha stories.  Each is unique and fun to read, so I am excited to be able to share my story and learn yours!

I'm looking for a playmate here!

My real name is Sweet Pea.  Sometimes the beans call me that, but mostly its Oui Oui.  The Girl insisted on the name Sweet Pea for obvious reasons.  I never fight and I love everyone.  When the mom brought me home from the shelter and let me out of the PTU I was so happy to have my freedom I ran all over the room.  I ran around and around for 20 minutes, occasionally stopping to bat or sniff a toy.  The peeps were laughing so hard, but I didn't care!  The mom wanted to name me Jubilee but the girl was stubborn.  It could be Sweet Pea, or it could be Sweet Pea.

I am so happy to play, and I am always ready anytime anyone wants to have some fun, so the mom started calling me "Oui Oui", cause I never say no.  In fact, when The Girl left to go to collich, the mom was worried I would be lonely, so she got me my very own pet kitty to play with and that's why we gotcha'd Mica Minnie Moo.  I have other nicknames too.  Twinkletoes because of the flash of my feet when I run.  Sugar Bee cause I am sweet and always busy.  Whippy Tail after my famous whippy tail dance, and a few others the mom is too old to remember.

We are posting some more Naming Stories at Twinkletoe Tails if you haven't read enough here at the Tabby Club.
