When thinking about a name for my newly adopted cat I rescued, (he chose me at the shelter not the other way around) it sorta came easily. He was so skittish, about everything. He would jump out of his skin for nothing. So I thought, ""Spooky"", would fit him perfectly. And so it has. So, it's been 4 yrs now and he has finally calmed down and came out of hiding. Come to find out he's a mama baby. Just loves to make biscuits on my chest. He turns 5 in June.
