These two handsome gentlemen will be coming to live with me this upcoming Friday. They don’t yet have names. The announcement of these two facts caused a maelstrom of email, mostly on the subject of naming.
Here are the suggestions I’ve received so far…

- Holmes and Watson (or Moriarty, depending on personality)
- Lewis and Clark (if they like to explore the house)
- Jeckyl and Hyde
- Heckle and Jeckyl
- Groucho and Chico (or Harpo)
- Laurel and Hardy
- Monty and Python
- Spam and Spam (face it, you can call cats whatever you want, they only listen selectively-or if food is involved)
- Bela and Boris
- Godzilla and Gamera (depending if they’re destructive)
- Osiris and Sethos (or Horus)
- Doc and Grumpy (or any of the other dwarfs depending on personality)
- Ramses and Tut
