A rose by any other name...


Since the name "Henry" continues to be criticized, I'd like to offer a list of the other names that have been suggested or I've considered. Henry's name will not be changed, but we might come up with a list of good cat names for the future. Feel free to make suggestions.

Alexander
Ariel
Flint
Henry, the cat
Kitten #2
Snookums
Washington

Henry is perfect!!! I wasn't crazy about it at first, but now Henry, the cat has MADE the name new and unique to him!!! Henry IS he!! Thanks to his fabulous personality, and your recordings of it!!! I also like Alexander for him because Alexander is a great personality....and the name is for a leader. You could name him Henry Alexander, but just call him Henry.

Oh never mind. Henry is a dull name, but if you insist there's nothing to be done. Obviously, Snookums fits his character much better.

Whenever I hear the name "Henry", I will think of Henry, the cat. No one else can ever possibly be Henry....he is the original Henry from now on....thanks to YOU!!! No one else, in history, has made the name "Henry", meaningful....but YOUR "Henry" has!!!! Original, unique and only!!!! How else could he possibly be named. He will ALWAYS be Henry!!! And no other Henry will ever quite match up!!! You pretty much always know who is being talked about when you hear: Martha, or Donald or Madonna...sure there are plenty of people with those names....but, first thoughts usually go to the famous ones....like Henry, the cat!!!
