Clever cat names are a wonderful way to celebrate your intelligent kitty. Or to commiserate with one that needs a bit of a boost in the brain department. My cat is beautiful, brilliant company and great fun. He has been with our family for over thirteen years, welcomed home new human siblings and happily tolerated our many other pets. But he’s not going to win a Nobel prize any time soon. When he is not trying to eat hot mushrooms straight out the wok, you can normally find him forgetting how to work the cat flap. Or getting stuck on the flat roof for the billionth time. Despite the open window right next to him, and relatively short jump to the ground.
