My uncle named his cat Mildred... I never knew why and thought it was kind of .... different? Maybe he saw the same show as you. He died at 42 with heart disease, always kind of a stranger to me, but we have such a small family, what memories I have are very significant.

I once had a grey tabby named Bugs. After Bugs Bunny. I adopted him from someone who cared for him but could just tell he and I had a great connection. He was my best friend. Followed me everywhere, waited for me to get home. Wasn't a needy sort how cats can sometimes be, really independant but for some reason, adopted me too.

My ex-wife brought home two kittens one day and Bugs ran away. He came back one time, looked like he was on the brink of suicide to me.. skinny, eyes yellowed, ratted hair... I tried to coax him home, but he wouldn't stay. I still miss him
