What’s in a name - Pet Edition by Q
March 20, 2008 ; 
One of the problems with adopting a pet is that it’s usually difficult to anticipate how they’ll behave once you get them home. Many pet lovers wonder whether their new little friends will be cuddly, annoying,
hyper, loud, violent, or all of the above. Lucky for you, gentle reader, I, the “All-knowing 20Q,” have collected a wealth of data showing that your pet’s behavior is unequivocally linked to the name you bestow upon it. Here are
some popular name choices and their corresponding personalities. - Fluffy likes bananas, dogs, and is usually playful.
- Kitty is not graceful or religious, but is generally outgoing.
- Lucky has a lot of friends, is usually happy, but does not sing in the shower.
- Midnight is good company, easily distracted, and often procrastinates.
- Smokey loses things, is not destructive, and is not a reptile.
- Ginger likes being the center of attention, is faithful, and likes to eat.
- Snowball smells good, can dance, and is usually optimistic.
