Cat's name & why:
Meeting Marco.

"Marco! Marco? Where are you, you silly cat?" Polis is a multi-billionaire with a passion for helping others. He and his cat, Marco are one heck of a team. It all started on one fateful day. It was raining and Polis happened to be walking home from a homeless shelter. Stopping in his tracks, Polis heard a faint meow over the sound of the pouring rain. When he turned around to find the creature, it was no where to be seen. He shrugged it off and kept on his path home. That's when it happened again- and again- and again. Every Time he looked to see the cat, there was nothing there, yet it always sounded close to his feet. Finally giving up, Polis trekked home, sopping wet and tired.

As he dried off in the doorway of his home, Polis heard yet another meow, though this time, it was from inside his home. The eighteen year old thought he was going crazy with a side of delusional. Then from out of no where, a tiger striped cat wove between Polis' legs, purring and meowing happily. Severely allergic to cats, Polis' immediate reaction was to jump back, of course sending him into the door and falling on the ground. The cat thought nothing of it and climbed onto his chest; no qualms about it. He purred loudly, and was rather soft for a wet kitten. A sneeze emitted from Polis, but so did a smile. The little kitten rubbed his little head into Polis' chest. A tentative Polis reached for the cat, stretching his arm to pet it. "Hmmm." Polis cocked his head in question, should he keep this delightful little devil, or put him back on the street. The question was answered with a quaint meow and a lovesick look from Polis. "I'll call you-?"

Naming Marco.

It was five days since Polis had found the cat and claimed him as his own, or heck, the cat claimed Polis. Although allergic to cats, Polis and this kitten were inseparable. He bared the worst for his little companion, and he loved every minute with the little cat. Although Polis loved the cat, he still hadn't named him yet. He was at a loss for names when it came to this cat, until, one day at the peer.

You see, Marco followed Polis everywhere; outside, inside, to work, you name it- the cat was there. Well, this day at the peer was like no other, Polis was going boating with Marco and there was nothing unusual about it. The day's fishermen had come in early, the mocked and laughed as Polis was trailed by the feline companion, though he was able to ignore them, one guy caught his attention. He had previously seen Polis before, and even knew his name, as Poe was a frequent at the docks. "Polis my boy!" He called waving him over. Internally groaning, Poe made his way over to the fisher. "Yes sir, Mr. Jensen?" He asked, wanting to get to his own boat as soon as possible. "You and that cat of yours could be Marco Polo, you know? He follows you just 'round anywhere ya go." And thats when it hit Polis. This cat was to be named Marco, and he be nicknamed Polo. "Thank you for enlightening me, Mr. Jensen." Poe smiled and went on his way, pondering the likes of Marco and Polo. He shrugged, smiling, "C'mon Marco, we've got some sailing to do."

Gender: Male
Cat's name & why:
The cats name is YaYa. Why?
Because when he was little his parents
Encorage him to say "tiger". But he was a baby!
Don't expect him to be able to say tiger.
So every day he repeated "YaYa" as his pronunciation
Of tiger. A fee months later, they found a box in the
Street with a litter of kittens in it. Quickly Jonathan
Got up and pointed to the orange cat, that looked like
A tiger. "YaYa! YaYa!" he exclaimed. So his parents picked up
The cat and brung him home. The cat is now 12 years old,
And Jonathan is 14. Now, of course Jonathan knows how to
Say "tiger", but he loves his cat companion more than ever. <3

"My name's Speghetti! Pronounced 'spah-get-hee'. You betta get it right or might eat you!"

"Spaghetti, you stop that nonsense right now! We both know you ain't going to do a diddly darn thing!"

David sighed as he stared at the orange cat pacing along his shoulders, the thing seemed to think it was a guard cat, for whatever reason David would never know. What he did know however was he loved that infuriating cat to pieces, ever since the small creature had been found.

Speaking of found, boy ain't that a story! David had never expected to own a cat but the moment he laid eyes on the orange monstrosity he couldnt help but fall in love with him.

It had been pretty late at night, the heat of the day still seeping in through the cracks in the walls. He had left the windows open in hopes that a breeze might roll through and save him from this hot and sweaty hell.

Dinner had just been made, spaghetti as it was the only thing he really knew how to make, and was sitting on the table as he cleaned up his mess, something he always made himself do before sitting down to eat so that the kitchen was never really nasty.

Much to his surprise though when he was finally ready to eat he turned around only to find a small orange kitten rolling on his plate of spaghetti, batting at the meat balls like a toy! David of course had been shocked silent and frozen but when he got over his surprise he quickly rushed over to pick up the squirming feline and give them a bath, of all things!

Although they had a rather interesting meeting the two have been inseparable ever since!

Name:
Maximilian Meyer
Prefers Maxi for short.
Gender:
Male


Cat's name:
Drywall.
Addressed as Wally for short by Maxi, and addressed as Wallace in professional situations.
Why:
When Maximilian Meyer, head of Maximilian Design Incorporated, introduces his customers and new employees to his beloved kitty companion, Drywall, he often gets strange looks. However, as a very successful professional interior designer, he has very little time to spare, and often doesn't bother explaining his queer choice of name. You may want to pester one of the older contractors on their coffee break for the answer if you want to hear the whole story.

.......

Two years ago, Maxi was trying to make a debut in the interior design business. He had just recently been commissioned by an influential figure in his community to design the inside of new house. The customer's only request was that the interior was to be "aesthetically pleasing as well as functional". If Maxi was successful and pleased his customer, it could mean a huge raise in demand for his work, and his dream of becoming a sought after professional would come true.

......

Maximilian arrived early one morning at the job-site, ready to tacle the task of planning out the wall colours and flooring. The drywall had just been put up the night prior.
As he inspected the rooms, Maxi heard the faint sound of meowing. Now, wasn't that odd? He made an attempt to follow the sound to it's source, but it soon stopped. As time is money, Maxi decided to move on and forget he had ever heard the noise. Maximilian soon arrived at the dining room of the house but realized something was wrong. The construction team had put up a wall between the dining room and the kitchen, which did not allow for the light from the kitchen windows to pass through to the windowless dining room! Maximilian quickly summoned some members of the team to take down the wall. Annoyed as this would cause a set back, Maxi picked up a mallet to help out; they couldn't waste any more time!
As the first swing of the mallet hit the wall, the meowing started up again, only this time loud, insistent and frightened. Surprised, Maximilian dropped the mallet. He carefully used his hands to break away a section of the drywall, and as his jaw practically dropped. In behind the wall, only about a half a meter away from where the mallet struck, was a small, frightened, orange tabby cat, covered in white drywall dust. It looked up at him and blinked as he reached over and picked it up, pulling it close to his chest. It snuggled into him and began to pur, bringing a smile to Maxi's face. The poor cat must have ran behind the drywall when they were putting it up the previous night, and got trapped when both sides were screwed on.
Maxi walked through the house and outside, the construction team following him in awe. He halted in the middle of the backyard, and placed the small kitty on the ground. "A job site is no place for animals." He told the cat. Maximilian began to walk away, but the cat refused to leave him, and instead rubbed itself against his leg. He sighed and picked up the cat placing the feline around his neck like a scarf. "Maybe it's time I got myself a sidekick... Maxi and Drywall, the interior designer and his cat." He smiled, and thought for a moment."The form, and the function- you need both to be successful!"

Name: Lunerian, Lune for short
Gender: Male
Cat's name & why:
His cat is named Vacancy, but Lune calls him Vac. The reason for the name is that before he got him as a kitten, Lune was in a rather dark spot- he felt absolutely terrible and felt as if the whole world was going to collapse in on him. Despite the best efforts of both friends and loved ones, nobody could pull him out of the pit he was in. Then one day, while he was walking to clear his head, he passed an empty lot and heard a quiet sound. After a bit of investigation, it turned out to be a kitten! He quickly took it home and brought it back to health. After the kitten was all better, Lune noticed that he was starting to feel much happier- he had found something to make him happy. He named the little guy Vacancy, after the empty lot that managed to change his life so very much.

Name: Connor
Gender: male
Cat's name & why: Connor's cat's name is Bub. When Connor was still a young plumie, his most common word to say was ' bub '. His parents decided to take him to a pet store, and have him pick out a kitten, because he had grown attached to cats he's seen on TV, the internet, and on the streets, so they wanted him to experience pet ownership. Connor wandered into the kitten section, a joyful gleam in his eye. He went into a large room, that had multiple kittens in it. He sat down on the floor, and waited. Multiple small gray, orange, white and black kittens waddled towards Connor, and he was very pleased. A small orange kitten wandered towards Connor, looking up at him with her small green eyes. She flopped on the ground, and waited to be petted. Connor surely took advantage of that, as it was very cute and he was thrilled. The kitten then crawled in his lap, and began to fall alsleep. He looked down at the kitten, and whispered ' bub' . His parents finally walked into the room, and saw what the little orange kitty was doing. They then decided, " is this the kitty you want? " Connor nodded with delight. The kitten climbed on Connor's back, and fell asleep. They purchased the kitty, and when they asked ' what would you like to name your kitten? ' of course, Connor said ' bub!! '. To this day, Connor and bub are as close as ever, and bub spends most of her time sleeping on Connor or on his bed. Bub and Connor have a bond like no other, and they both care for eachother.
