"Is it? I hadn't noticed!"
Most of my cats are named after fictional characters/pieces of media
Updates on my profile cats are in the comments for my village
List of names, where they come from, and where any TV shows are available to watch follows: (not always entirely up to date because it takes too much effort to edit this each time I get a new cat)
(I put character quotes in bios, but just in case you're worried about spoilers I wait two weeks after something new is released before adding quotes from that.)
(Note: for the Doctor Who characters, the years are the dates of their regular appearances on the show. Some characters may have made one-off returns after this original time on the show, but for simplicity's sake I have not counted those dates.)
