    The proper way to name a cat

    Upon a meeting a cat you will find out quick
    That Magnificence demands such incredible names to fit.
    To call a cat Andrew, Pete or Blue, Stacey, Polly or Cat…
    Well that just won’t do.

    For to name a cat you must follow one rule
    There name must be grand to announce to a room
    An example of such of which I will share,
    Is Sir Meowsington of Meowsly.
    So listen close please.

    Say there was a cat door to the wonderful cat ball
    And a cat came through just as they should
    A cats name must work to be shouted to all
    So that all in a room can marvel in awe

    *Cough* Sir Meowsington of Meowsly, Owner of 3 cat baskets and 1 hat.

    Now all in the room will turn their heads
    The name will speak wonders, amazement and gasps
    And as Sir Meowsington of Meowsly walks past all
    To find a place to curl up warm, all around will gossip and stare
    “How did one cat become so spectacular” they will share.

    So next time you find yourself naming a cat
    Remember the ball where Sir Meowsington went
    And think of the announcers who will introduce them to the room
    Ponder if their name is grand enough to do.

    And How do I know all this?
    Well lets just say,
    I was whispered these secrets by a cat of such fame
