Peculiar cat names created by famous owners (infographic)

Here are some ‘peculiar cat names’. Well, I’ve called them peculiar but perhaps they are not. They are just different and imaginative; non-standard, and I am thankful for it.

On Twitter when you search for the word “cat” you get a cat in a blender

In this video, you see a commentator on Twitter (I do not know who he is) criticising Elon Musk for making things worse on that social media platform since he bought it. The man says that Musk go rid of 90% of Twitter employees which I think is incorrect and an exaggeration and in doing …

NEWS AND OPINION: I don’t think you can get anything weirder than this in respect of a person’s relationship with their cat both in terms of the person looking extraordinary and the fact that he professes to love cats but hits his cat. Like I said, it’s weird. And it is tiresome really to be …
