Confuse-a-Cat

My mom, often the purveyor of odd but strangely useful gifts, gave me a page-a-day calendar for Christmas, as she usually does. This year's calendar was a cat one. Each day contains an odd little factoid or story about cats in general (yesterday's was that cats like to lie in the sun -- duh), and a picture of a cat or cats submitted by someone. (There's even info on how and where to submit your photos.) Each cat is identified by name, location, and the name of its owners (or, as the cats like to think of them, staff). I've decided that my current feline companion, who has been called Walter since about his first birthday, should try out some different names. So each day, I've been calling him by the name on the calendar. Today, he's Harriet. In recent days, he's been Spazz, Montana, Dakota, Lucy, Ruby, and Boots. He doesn't react any differently to these names than he does when I call him Walter. But it's fun for me.
