Cats with odd human names





 People name cats in the cutest of ways 
Like fluffy or twinkles, or frazzle 
But never you hear or it is quite rare
To hear someone call their cat Basil 

Or maybe just Chris for it starts with a C
It is easy to say it aloud
Though pronouns are easy when it comes to a cat
So Chris ticks all boxes, be proud

Male cats are known as boring old Tom
For those who lack in the sell
And if you want even more fun
Just name that cat Bernard as well

Those thinking about T S Eliot's way
 Or cats of a pure lineage job
It's pedigree name Sir Batten of burg 
Or at home known quite simply as Bob

But as I research for the name of a cat
And some of those names are uncanny 
I was eager to find, but I never did find
someone naming that pussy cat 'Fanny.'
