Yep, and unfortunately he's a fan of another team (Red Sox), like all my friends are. I would like you all to meet Jake. Hopefully my friend, who adopted this mellow yet fierce fan from the humane society can choose a more suitable name for him. It's o.k., many famous people change their names before and even after they became famous

There's A New Fanitcat In Town
(like Vin Diesel=Mark Vincent & Kirk Douglas=Isidore Demsky & Kevin Spacey=Kevin Fowler). So it's no biggie for Jake to undergo a name change. Heck, Prince was a symbol for a while. ODB had a new name almost every other week before he died it seemed like.
Well, Jake, here's to you and many years of health, comfort, and naps being a fanaticat. I'm just not going to root for your Red Sox until the Dodgers are mathematically out of the post season.

Aw, thanks for the post, Joe. I've been brainstorming names and have come up with Gabbo, Amazing Larry, Dancing Pete, P-Gon, and Crudler, among others. All have been vetoed by Gomar. She likes Jake. *sigh* My work continues...
Here's a thought: I could name him JD Drew. They're both ridiculously expensive, and are projected to finish the season with the same number of HRs and RBIs. And Jake has a terrific OBPS (On Bed Preventing Sleep).
Insist at least on a polysyllabic name, craig. What fun is a feline name if it only drops out of your mouth instead of rolling off your tongue?
Dude! you need to name your cat Pepe' (not gonna go through the trouble to find the e with the accent above it).
1 He is black and white--like a skunk
2 Your first impressionable experience with him was that he stunk up your car.
3 He probably still stinks although it is now more manageable.
4 Pepe La Pew is the coolest skunk alive.
5 Jake is a cool black and white cat that stinks yet is still cool.
6 You should name your cat Pepe.
And that's my final answer.
Pepe? I don't know. I appreciate all your reasons, but he doesn't seem like a Pepe. How about T-Bone? I haven't run this by the misses yet, but he just "feels" like a T-Bone. Rather, like George Costanza wanting-the-nickname T-Bone.
George: "Well, Jerry, I've been thinking. I've gone as far as I can go with George Costanza."
Jerry: "Is this the suicide talk or the nickname talk?"
George: "The nickname... George, what is that? It's nothing. It's got no snap, no zip. I need a nickname that makes people light up."
Jerry: "You mean like Liza!"
George: "I was thinking T-Bone."
Jerry: "But there's no T in your name. What about G-Bone?"
George: "There's no G-Bone."
Jerry: "There's a G-Spot."
George: "That's a myth."
I read your most recent comment having totally forgotten how i came up with the name , pepe for your cat. I was like, 'whaaa?' Then I read my post and I was like...ohhhh, but then I was like...nooo
I have a new suggestion
Pooty or
Pootie
Why Pooty/Pootie?
Well Pootie Tang was a horrible movie. However, Pootie the character is just so hilarious it makes the movie watchable despite almost no redeeming value to anything else in the movie that isn't the Pootie character babbling on in semi-jibberish.
Again the name makes you think of butts and foul smells, which is funny just because it is, while also providing linkage to your first significant meeting with your new cat who is too cool to go by a name such as Jake.
So whenever he tears up your place or throws up you can just throw up your hands and shout, "Pootie done did it again!" and laugh.
