Hemi - My Cats Name

by Arianna C.
(Colorado Springs, CO)

The reason I named my cat HEMI (after the engine type) is because when he was a kitten you couldn't watch T.V or really do much that involved listening when he was about because he purred so loud! Plus I found that as he grew he was a bit rambunctious! Which Hemi engines are normally associated with rambunctious men and heavy duty, revving trucks and stuff! So my cat fit that description perfectly! Too bad I had to give him up :( I have no idea where he is now... I got him in Arkansas, and he moved with me to Round Rock, Thanks for almost 3 years.

Comment from Kate
I feel so sad that you had to give him up and that you have lost contact with him. I don’t know what happened but it must have been difficult to give up your friend. At least you had three years with Hemi, I bet you had lots of great times together during that time.

From his picture he looks a little like one of my cats i had years ago called Tigger. A little of the Maine Coon in him and with great big happy smile on his face and look at those shiny eyes, fabulous.

Great name too and one I had not heard of before, I’ve never even heard of the train of the same name, so you must be a bit of a train fan i guess. I bet there isn’t another cat anywhere with the same name.

Lets hope he is happy wherever he is now and that his huge Purr is still drowning out the sound of the TV.

Thank you for sharing your story with us here at our happy cat. We always love to hear how cats got their names and how they suited their personalities.
