This is Semtex,

Semtex...?

I remember some story where a pair of dogs or cats was named Anthrax and Ebola. and I knew one guy in berlin who had a Rottweiler wioth constantly bad mood, named (pronounce German) Tee-Drei-Vier (T-34) The beast was a tank indeed, and it was in a bad mood all day long.

But what has your cat done to deserve that name?

Hehe, I think it's a fairly idiosyncratic name for a cat

It's nice in Irish, too.

Nice!
When I was a child our cat had 4 male kittens. I named them Hitler, Stalin, Franco & Mussolini. Well, Adolf, Joe, Frank and Duke :p

@ SH - Looks like he's in good shape! Eating well?

Yeah, he's been eating quite a bit. However, his fitness isn't very good. He's really very thin, and I'm guessing he just looks a bit pudgy since he's curled up.

I've tried not to feed him too much since it can kill him (I recall the cases of starved POWs in Japanese prison camps eating excessively due to starvation after being liberated by Allied forces and then dying from the shock of it). I've named him Zero in honor of the Mitsubishi A6M fighter.

awesome name for a cat!

Good luck with your newest friend

Very cool SH! My cat and I are both quite happy with you!

What a great thing to do, my hat is off to you, good sir.
Cats make for a great ocmpany, though i fear my cat as taken a bit too much after me, he is long, thing, eats like a horse and is a complete *******, still love him to bits.
He just came and curled up on my lap when i was readin this thread

What an awesome thing you did, SH, rescuing the poor little guy!

Keep us updated on his progress! Most of our cats in the past have been rescues or strays that adopted us. One such cat is the one we call Icy. She showed up in the middle of winter back in 2004. Was only a few months old. She knew what the inside of a house was since she wanted in so bad and is deathly afraid of the outside. To this day if she even thinks you are walking near the door with her, she will freak out. By the way, she is the spawn of satan. She's very evil.

She is also crazy. The slightest sound will send her running. If the slightest thing is out of place she approaches it cautiously. She knows how things are suppose to be and don't like misplaced objects.

This one is named Dover. He is a Birman that we rescued from an animal shelter at the end of this past February. He was actually on the local news for their Pet of the Week segment. We called first thing on a Monday morning and got him. He's a real dork. He loves to play and is always chasing bugs. He and Icy are always chasing each other. In the shot above, Icy has become a fat cow, but she has lost some weight now that she has a friend to chase. She's still fat, though.

Here's a pic I took of both of them a while back. Now if they get that close, they start wrestling with each other.

Here are our two cats. They are both rescue cats and came as a pair. I think that having 1 cat is great, as it provides company for you, but having 2 cats is so much more fun, as they provide company and mischief for each other.
