Yes, I have named the cat that adopted our carport as his home. Pretty and I have searched for a loving home for this little fellow for more than a year, but it turns out he found his own home with us. Sigh. I have resisted the pleas of our family, friends, even followers in cyberspace to name him because I felt that would make him less likely to find an indoor home. This week, though, I talked with Pretty, and she agreed Cassidy is a fine name. I added Carport Cat in honor of our beloved Carport Kitty who was our first feline love.
Carport Kitty stole our hearts and then…
and then broke them when we lost her in October, 2022
No more stray cats in the carport, I declared through my tears to Pretty who nodded. But the best-laid plans of mice, men and me go where? go oft astray? oh no, they go to the strays.

As I am sure you know T.S. Eliot had a wonderful poem about this very dilemma: The Naming of Cats.

My T.S. Eliot knowledge is woefully lacking so I hadn’t read the “Naming the Cat” one! Thank you so much – it was the perfect poem for our situation. Not surprising you would have the perfect words! You are a wordsmith.

They know us better than we know ourselves.
Cassidy is a perfect name for a handsome Carport Cat.

That is so very true, Ann. They really do know us better than we know ourselves. Great quote.
I’m glad you like the name. I think Pretty has known all along he would be our cat, but then you know how she is. Hope all is well with you, my friend of many moons.

All is well at the moment, Sheila. Hah! This working full time is nuts. It leaves little time for doing what I really enjoy, but for now it’s where I need to be. Love to you both and your four-legged management team.
