Nicu -- Neko

[quietann]

It has been pointed out to me that the cat's name should be spelled Neko, in honor of the little animated cat that chases one's cursor all over the screen.

I Googled it, and found http://webneko.net/

For an overdose of cute, click on the "Cat Herding Game" link.

I will admit that I wondered why you'd name a cat after the neonatal intensive care unit.

rats and cats living together! Where will it end??

Neko = Japanese for cat. :) My daughter would *giggle* and say "Neko!" for several minutes at a stretch upon meeting your cat - she loves both cats and the Japanese language. (Current favorite word: "ichigo" (strawberry).)

My sister's first cat's name was Neko... he was a huge beautiful white cat who began as a teeny tiny kitten. :-)

We've not had a kitten yet - I'm working on my husband to allow another cat. :) Max was five when we got him, and Jack was.... not yet a year old, but obviously a teenager rather than a baby. Elayna has yet to have the full kitten experience!

Well, they don't actually. The rats live in a little room by the carport entrance. To get to the cats, one wanders from there through the kitchen, woodstove room, dining room, entryway, TV room, and living room and into "the addition." The lefthand room of the addition holds a certain bit of geekery owned by deguspice (ask him if you want to know more), but the righthand room and upstairs are for the cats, and my quilting stuff.

This is because deguspice is severely allergic to cats, and I would not give up my cats in order to live with him.

I do occasionally put rats in the cats' space, but cats learn really quickly that while rats are entertaining, they have TEETH.

And was the name also a play on Nekko wafer?

That's NECCO wafer (New England Confectionery Company).
