Mrs BP is huge cat fan. In HK she lived on llama and helped at their cat sanctuary. Mother cat died giving birth and she handed reared 6 kittens : they had to be fed every 2 hours!
Not sure I am keen : but Mrs BP always gets her way. Like most women really.
I remember years ago a fat old tom belonging to my neighbour getting stuck halfway up a tree. He was overcome by his bloodlust, but undone by his lack of agility.
The squirrels came down the tree (upsidedown) and chattered at, and scolded the poor old moggy. I swear the squirrels were laughing at him.

I don't understand the attraction of cats. But, I think you should call them Tess and Tickle.

3) A live and completely uninjured baby rabbit in my bathroom
4) A badly mauled, nearly-bald, woodpigeon and a ton of feathers in my bedroom (had to perform a mercy killing)
5) A vast, nauseating-looking rat that looked like it had been machine-gunned in some gangster bloodbath, under the sofa in my study.
Cats eh? Brilliant (but bastards as well).

She found a mouses's head on the driveway : took a photo to show kids in case decideed to eat it.
Upon going inside she found cat had eaten the rest and then thrown up bits of fur, claws, stomach etc. She used to be a carer and is used to sicly scenes : but this one turned her stomach.
I was so upset I was not at home to clear up the mess.

How about "Spermbank" and "Repository"?
Or Jezebel and Ahab.
Or Greebo and You.

You will have to remember both you and Mr P may have to stand at the door calling their names from time to time
Don't embarrass yourselves with Mr Snuffykins or anything of that ilk?

the girl cat should be Triple S
Reasons for the boy - two quote marks make him a quotable quotes, as a contractor, all your time is quotable and he will want all of your time
Reasons for the girl, Apart from the Archaeopteryx , the tortoise has the most aerodynamic shape in the animal kingdom, so a tortoise/cat should go like sh 1 t off a shiney shovel
The first name I suggested was Quotes - but Mr P was not keen.
Triple S - I think we'll pass on that one
I do remember we used to sell Triple A pale ale in the pub though - I believe it was very strong.
