Clever Cat People Give Insight As To What Inspired Their Cats' Unique Names

Greetings, ICanHasers! How is everyone doing this fine Tuesday? We hope y'all are enjoying these warm, sunny days. Make sure to apply your daily (or hourly) SPF, wear a sun hat and stay hydrated. Not only that but it's also important we make sure our cats are hydrated and cool during these hot summer days. We personally like to give them cool blankets to lay on, others put ice cubes on their heads, we're sure you guys have all sorts of methods too.

We always say that cat people are the best, and it's true. They're loyal, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and crazy creative. Whether it's crocheting couches for their cats or coming up with creative cat names, cat people do it all. We recently stumbled upon an amazing Twitter thread where people share photos of their cats and tell the stories of how their names came to be. You'll see everything from movie characters to Greek gods. We hope you enjoy!

"All my animals have been named after gods and goddesses."
We don't know why, but this made us giggle a little. Don't get us wrong, we're here for animals being named after goddesses, it's what they deserve. It's also the cat's facial expression. He really said, "I am god"

Wow, this is one of the most amazing things we've ever read. It always amazes us when people tell stories of cats finding their hoomans after they've lost someone dear to them. Be it a family member, a friend, or another cat.
