How
old were you when you moved in with your family? Were you a rescue?
No one is really sure how old I am. Mama and Uncle
Rob think I was almost a year old when I adopted her on June 14, 2011 (Flag
Day!). The stabbypeople all said I was older – anywhere from 3 to 10! – but now
they are still saying 3-5. So the only two hoo-mons I will talk to are sticking
with what they said…which make me going on 2 now.
I adopted Mama so that makes her the rescue. I lived
outside the whole winter before deciding on her. Would sneak food off of Uncle
Rob’s back porch, but not let either one of them near me.
What
breed are you?
I am a Domestic Longhair…I look like a long haired
Russian Blue. (Excuse me – that reminds me I need to groom. ::: takes time away from questions for a
little grooming :::)
What
inspired your hoomans to name you?
That was a big decision for Mama! She likes Oscar
Wilde a lot so almost gave me that for a name. She also is addicted to “The Big
Bang Theory” so tried to think of a Manhattan Project name since that’s how
Sheldon named his cats when he had a clowder. She even asked @BillPrady about
it on Twitter and he reminded her about that, as well as suggesting Oppenheimer.
She thought that was a big name for a guy as little as I was then, so kept
thinking.
Several hoo-mons told her I look like I am a Russian
Blue and she’s a big fan of Russian names, so she put together a list of them
and when she got to “Luka”, said “Aha!
That’s it!”
And since I am so youthful looking, my middle name
is DorianGray…also a nod to Oscar.
It took her almost two whole weeks to name me! Her friend Mildred (Freddy the dachshund
lives with Mildred, but I digress) was getting mad at her…Mildred was afraid
she was not going to let me adopt her!
Now I have Mama completely kitty-whipped. MOL!
