    My rescued baby is Sherkie… My father thought it was a male cat, so he named it after The Jungle Book’s Shere Khan. I told him it was a female cat, and we laughed stating its similarities with the character; so I ended up naming her Sherkie Bagheera Zamora Molina… Yeah she has middle name and last names 😂


  • Heather

    Our calico girl is Sadie Madison. Yes she has a middle name. Yes so do our other two cats. 😂
