There’s a fine art to introducing human and feline personalities.
Most Tabby’s Place cats have us well-trained within a few weeks hours, and spin standard spiels out of our mouths.
Since he was black-and-white instead of gingery-brown, and since he was a boy, we couldn’t let the new cat keep the name Spice.
But, in all honesty, he never lived up to his slightly amended name, either: Spike.
Fortunately, even a series of ill-fitting names can’t keep a cat from the home that’s meant to be his.
