A kitten named Ronald Reagan

My Cat Layla had kittens 3 weeks ago and my husband built a soft wall of mesh and blankets so they couldn't get out and get hurt but Mama could climb over. Well one little kitten found his way to the other side of the wall He doesn't go anywhere just sits in front of the wall meowing. My daughter 8 who must have heard somewhere the speech President Reagan gave at the Berlin Wall although she didn't quite get Gorbachev right she thought he was saying Mr. Pork Chop tear down this wall. Anyway she was saying what she thought the kitten was saying and named him Ronald Reagan. Now I'm the Owner of a kitten named Ronald Reagan

You can call him Gipper.

My daughter had to do a second grade assignment where she was to put pictures of things that started with 'E'. She finished it, and brought it to show me. I said "Why is Ross Perot on there?"

She said...Ears.

I have two inside neutered male kitties. One is the son of a barn/feral mom, who luckily was able to adapt to inside/outside and is happy with my best pal of 23 yrs. The little female still exhibits feral traits, as does my baby from her (even though he was never himself feral). Our other is a long-hair spoiled rotten Siamese, whose idea of outside tough life, is sunbathing on our screened deck. lol

Mr Pork Chop is how Dubya remembers Gorbachev's name.



I hope you name another kitten Mr. Pork Chop.
