   Harrison is such a cool cat!
Everyone should be so lucky to have a cool cat like Harrison. Hmmm, I have never explained where all my pets' names come from. I guess this is as good a time as any!

Ana Ng, she got her name from the They Might Be Giants song of the same name. It seems to fit her personality.

Brynner. Ok, this is a long story how we got his name. We wanted a name to go with Ana's. Unfortunately there wasn't a good TMBG song name to go with him. So we went off the name of Anna. Anna is the name of the lead female character in the King and I which takes place in Siam. Ana is Siamese so this would have a bit of a link. The King in the musical The King and I was played by Yul Brynner. Thus, Brynner had his name!

Harrison. His name is not after Harrison Ford, he is named after Rex Harrison who is the actor who first played the King in Anna and the King of Siam. Rex Harrison was also in My Fair Lady and Dr. Doolittle.

Heston. Heston is named after Charlton Heston. No King and I link here. The link is Brynner. Yul Brynner and Charlton Heston acted together in a lot of movies so we used that link.

So there you go, now you know where everyone got their names! Anyway, getting back to how cool Harrison is!

When he lays down his little deformed arms hold his paws up in the air so when he is doing that happy cat pawing...you know, the kind cats do where they dig their claws into you while you are petting them...well, because of his arms the claws don't touch! It's great, he sits there purring away, pawing at the air!

The way he gets our attention is by smashing his head into us. He will even do it to the dogs. Brynner will be standing there with that lost look on his face and Harrison will lumber up to him, stand on his hindlegs, then headbutt him in the chin. I don't know of any other cat that does that, especially to dogs!

Well, I am at work right now so I guess I will have to continue singing Harrison's praises later on tonight. ::waves:: Bye!
