Lovely! Cats are my favorite. I have two cats, Genevieve and Cecilia. I wish I were home with them right now instead of in my freezing cold office.
I have a good friend whose parents opted not to give her a middle name. When she was about 9 she decided to tell people her middle name was Catherine so she could be called Cat. I’m not sure how long she tried it but it didn’t stick.
