The best cat name I’ve heard of was “Puppy”. 

You win for the best names ever as far as I’m concerned.

Your Sybil was absolutely gorgeous and she definitely looks liked she had a lot of personality.

No one’s going to see this but what the hell.

HE’S PERFECT. He looks like my Vito! (He passed away into kitty heaven three years ago.) Grey and white tabby cats have a very special place in my cat-filled heart.

I have had a lot of cats. I now feel compelled to name them (in order of when I had them):

I thought I was SUPER DUPER ORIGINAL when I named my cats. Do you have any idea how many black cats are named Edgar or how many gray cats are named Oscar? Answer: A metric shit ton. And there are a surprising number of people who have one of each. 

I have two Siamese cats (meezers, if you’re nasty). Pavi is sturdily-built, with broad shoulders and a giant football head, and Pix is a slim-build applehead who I wish would gain 4 pounds. In true meezer form, they both have a lot of opinions that they share loudly when I am on conference calls.

My cat’s name was Sybil Nomi, after Sally Field’s role as multi-personality Sybil, and Nomi from Showgirls because of how quickly and jerky she would react to things. However, I also often called her Poups, short for poupee or doll en French.

My friend’s cat is named Fettuccine, which I’m deeply enamored of.

I also have a friend whose cat is named Turtle (sometimes Tortuga) because she’s colored like a turtle sundae.

I wish I could get a cat. 

Yes! Food names for cats are the best!

This is my angelic assassin kitty Arya.

Obligatory “my cat’s name is...” post:

My cat’s named Schrodinger. And that’s either the best cat name or it isn’t.

I disagree, and I believe your angle in all your responses is based in your beliefs being completely opposite to what Aimée is talking about.

It’s like you’re belligerently missing the point of everything here. Aimée said she’s fine being on her own, and your response is “Mm, I don’t think so” based on a “tone” that’s explicitly in response to PEOPLE INSISTING THE PROBLEM IS HER SINGLENESS. She said “I’m fine with X but I wish people would stop doing Y” and…

OMG. If you are partnered and happy about it, good for you. But I think you should avoid judging (yes, that’s what you’re doing) those of us who choose to be single or who spend time and energy becoming okay with single life that wasn’t our choice (however we choose to get okay with it). You know absolutely nothing…

This advice you’re giving is 100% guaranteed to be exactly what Aimée has heard a hundred times already. No one in New York doesn’t know that dating there is difficult, and all of the reasons why. Do you genuinely believe no one has told Aimée to try dating outside her immediate “type,” or to “become [your] best…

I’ve been by myself for 7 and a half years and I’m so tired of being lonely. I’m an introvert and I function far too well on my own, but I so badly want to find love.  

I’ve grown up with several women who weren’t married and they weren’t looked down on. In some cases they were admired because they had freedom other women didn’t. It’s not bad to be alone.
