We chose Japanese food names for these two litter mates (yes, that's right, they're from the same litter - Meowmy was busy that night!):
Futomaki is the black fluffy one, and that means "fat roll" which is a kind of sushi roll, and Shoga is the sleek Siamese, and his name is Japanese for "ginger root".
Why sushi names? Because we love sushi, and we thought that they were pretty contrasting in personality, but they're still brothers and they'd been through a lot by the time we adopted them. Having a sushi roll (Futo) by itself is great, and ginger (Shoga) by itself is great, but when you have the two together it's the best!
Thanks for this cute contest!
They are both beautiful! I love the way you told the story about their names. Maybe I should rename one of my cats "Futomaki" because he is huge. I am so happy to hear that you adopted them and gave them a great home. Thank you for the picture; I really enjoyed it! :)
Thanks! I hope to post soon the story about the cats we've had, starting with the sweet one we lost, and ending with these two crazies. :D
I can't wait to read it. Please let me know when you post it. I already wrote about the 2 cats that I have now. I have been writing about my sweet one that died 3 years ago and I have to keep stopping and putting it aside because I miss him so much. My JB...RIP.
Oh, I know the loss of a furry friend is really hard. We had our Panda for 17 years, and we had to put him down. That was the hardest thing we had to do. :(
It sure is hard. 17 years is a good long life. Panda? I take it he was black and white?
No, silly, all black LOL. But he had the personality of a rolly-poly panda :)
