I've never had a pet quite like this.

It appears that my new charge has a tendency of finding very strange things and hiding them behind his litter box. First it was a silver fork, then a small stuffed animal that might've once been a turtle, and now I've uncovered what looks like a battered copy of a Harlequin novel.

Either someone is sneaking into my apartment and leaving some

No, no, see:

Secretly, when you're gone, your cat snuggles up in your bed with a plate of fish (hence the fork), a harlequin novel, and its favorite snuggly toy. Just for some R'nR after bein' cute and fuzzy all day.

You just always come in, and he has to rush to hide all the evidence.

..or you know, your cat could just like batting things around, and that's where they always end up getting stuck.

I could be anthropomorphizing him. A little.

You could also be overthinking this while simultaneously overlooking the possibility that my cat is simply a few cans short of a six-pack.

And he's still nameless. Bah!

*snort* I guess you really could name him after me if you're that strapped for ideas.

I'm sort of fond of namin' my stuff after Shakespeare's works.. but that's just me.

I had a named for him picked out due to his eccentricities reminding me of an old friend, but now I find that I can't use that name. It's unfortunate.

Shakespeare, eh? I'm not as well-versed in the Bard as I'd like to be. If you could think up anything suitable for him, I'd be much obliged.

(OOC: "..I think she might have considered naming her cat after the crazy store owner guy. .........Yep, better suggest some Shakespeare." lmao. )

Well, if your cat is as curious and playful, and apt as making your household objects pull disappearing acts as you say he is, I'd suggest:

Ariel.

Ariel is the sprite that's fettered to Prospero, in The Tempest.
He's a magical trickster, and he's really powerful. He creates the tempest that causes the characters to get scattered along the coast, so the plot can really get going. He also protects Prospero faithfully, mostly because he knows if he keeps Prospero happy his debt will be returned and then Prospero will let him free. He's my favorite character in The Tempest, by far.

..Wow. I just babbled Shakespeare at you for a whole year. ..Sorry.

I'm not a nerd. I swear.

((OOC: Yoruichi? Name her kitty Kisuke? I don't know what you're talking about. XD))

Ariel. I tend to associate that with a certain Disney heroine, but that does sound rather spritely. And it's better than the alternative.

There's nothing wrong with rambling about something you appreciate. Especially not something that most people would take as a sign of intelligence. Me, I feel lucky just to be able to define iambic pentameter.
