I fostered 6 kittens for a friend, and ended up naming the black one (who we were keeping) Morrolan because it suited him: he does not walk, he _struts_ everywhere, and is almost all black, but with some silvery white hairs mixed in, especially around his legs. We are now trying to integrate him into the household, and he is completely fearless when it comes to the other cats, though can be humble if need be (think of him as a young Morrolan, circa PoTD in the east, maybe). Ah, but since "Morrolan" is not a quick name to say, we have resorted to calling him "MoMo" or "Mo" (which, if Brust had Vlad call Morrolan in a book would probably kill me due to laughter), especially if we don't feel like explaining to people why he is named after a Dragaeran wizard/warrior-prince. Pictures are here, for those who can't get enough 5-week-old kitten pictures: http://homepage.mac.com/mklahn/PhotoAlbum11.html I have to say, though, that having been a Brust fan for some 11 years now, this was the first time that I even thought about naming a cat after a Dragaeran. -- Matthew S.
