Welcome To Wordless Wednesday At Create With Joy!
Quote Of The Day
Cats are glorious creatures
Who must on no accounts be underestimated.
Their eyes are fathomless depths of cat-world mysteries.
Lesley Anne Ivory
This week, JP from A Quiet Corner wondered how
Legend and Tsunami received their names.
Great question, JP – this week I’ll share Legend’s story!
Naming kittens is both hugely exciting and challenging!
No matter how many names you come up with in advance,
They always seem to go out the window
The moment you meet your kitten…
Each kitten has a unique personality of their own which
Deserves to be discovered and recognized by the perfect name!
What a huge responsibility and honor we bear!
When Legend first came to his home, he bore the name of Grizzly
Because, as a kitten, his first caretaker saw him as a big brown bear!
For us, however, that name conjured up images of ferociousness and
Legend is the sweetest, most lovable and loving cat you will ever meet!
For that reason I wanted to name him Romeo – but my husband refused.
Somehow, Romeo offended his male sensibilities!
After several days of interacting with our “bear” –
A nickname that sticks to this day –
We discovered that Legend has a larger than life personality!
Everything this cat does is super-sized!
He always finds a way to be the center of our attention.
He always finds a way to be the object of our affection.
He always finds a way to be the topic of discussion!
Before long, we recognized that a feline
Legend was developing right before our eyes –
And hence, his name was bestowed!
Great question, JP –
I’ll share the story behind Tsunami’s name another week!
Have any other questions about Legend and Tsunami?
Ask away!
I’ll do my best to answer your questions
In the comments or in an upcoming post!
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, dear friends!

I liked Grizzly too – just not for Legend. It totally did not suit his personality!
Thank you for hosting WW – I look forward of seeing new Pictures of Legend and Tsunami each week … I like those fury paws 😉
Legend is such a handsome cat – and I’m sure his name is well earned 🙂
Thanks for linking up!
