Love this quote about naming a cat from the story, Coraline. I think it pretty well sums up any cats. Cat quotes and funny sayings and memes are everywhere, many clever ideas.
“What’s your name,’ Coraline asked the cat. ‘Look, I’m Coraline. Okay?’
‘Cats don’t have names,’ it said.
‘No?’ said Coraline.
‘No,’ said the cat. ‘Now you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.”
