Sometimes a Manic Hobgoblin gets the better of me. I live in a sweet, old house in central Austin. I travel a few times each year. I have too many pets, and love each one more than the next.

Furry Babies
Here it is, the post you've been awaiting with great anticipation, my cats' nicknames!
Proper name: Marigold
Chad came up with her name after I wanted to name her Pumpkin. Marigold fits her better.
Breed: Persian

Rescued from: a family in Round Rock. She's a city girl like me. The suburban lifestyle just wasn't for her.
Nicknames:
Mare
Mare-bear
Da Bear
Bearigold
Mei-Mei (pronounced May-May & means little sister in some dialect of Chinese.)
Little Golden Bear
Princeth (like Princess with a lisp)

We thought she was a boy when we first got her. Kenji means "second son" in Japanese.
