My very first cat strayed into my life the same year I first read LOTR, so naturally had to be named Frodo. (His sister, however, got a very non-Tolkien name of Prudence) They were some sort of Maine Coon Cat/tabby mix with long hair--unfortunately, when the boarding school year ended I was told I couldn't bring them back, and my parents wouldn't let me keep them because my father was (allegedly) allergic to them. The semi-happy ending was that my WONDERFUL aunt (for whom I was named) placed them in a no-kill animal shelter near San Diego and they were adopted. But Frodo did live up to his name in that we said goodbye before I was ready...Since my current menagerie allhave non-ME names, I am plugging them into the Name Generator so they, too, can participate in RPGs and internet forums [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
