My cats were very rambunctious when they were small. We're big martial arts fans in my house so we named our first cat a grey tabby "Jack" after Jackie Chan, our second ginger tabby "Chuck" after Chuck Norris, and our third black cat "Jet" after Jet Li. When we got our fourth, a siamese, he ruled the house. He was the boss, so we had to name him Bruce, after ruce Lee.
Random human names are so funny to me. No one expects them so they .make for good conversation. And if they're named after celebrites by their personalities, people automatically k ow what they're like.
