The Ol' Sleep Chamber Knees

Reassuring that all the people I know, I see, are also saying the same thing, feeling the same thing, stomping to the same beat: the light, the light, the light.

The same thing resounding like a call to bolster your spirit. Be a light. Be a beacon. Be the kindness you wish to see in the world to those about you, protect yourselves and your loved ones and hold tight. And- in that great looming fear that seeks to drown you out- create. CREATE. Create art and use your voice. Your talents. Become the light if you wish by being that brightness. We are here. For our rights, for our freedoms, for our sisters and brothers and cousins who will now face immense hardship- be the voice that calls ‘we are here’.

For all of my fellow women- we will not fall gently and demurely back- fight for your right to be independent - because you are beautiful beyond words and cannot be contained.

For my fellow LGBTQ people, the theys thems and all the rainbow of sexuality: we exist and there has never been a time we never existed. They cannot erase what has been and what will continue to be. Non binary and otherwise, we existed beyond the concept of society and we will continue.

And for my fellow BIPOC- you are human. You are us. There is nothing lesser in you than what is in those that spit hate. You are bright and beautiful and I will continue to fight for you. You deserve existence and kindness, respect and freedom. I hope a better world is forged in this dark time for all the people around us.

Create. Make art and stories, plaster your resistance into the walls of language and music, into the songs and photos that people will see and hear and cannot look away. Create to show them we thrive and we will continue to move forward.

Show cat names have to be entirely unique so breeders have to get creative, usually they want to represent themselves within the name (I don’t think this is a requirement, though? Just standard practice?) which helps a little bit, so you can have Manxzana’s Kiwi and Tailless Beau-T’s Kiwi for example.

Sometimes you’ll have a cat with two cattery names because they’ll be produced by one then sold to another or they’ll be born to a queen of one cattery and the stud will have belonged to another, etc. So in this case you might have Tailless Beau-T’s Kiwi of Manxzana for example.

I don’t know the exact details on the restrictions surrounding registered name requirements beside having to be unique, it does seem to be fairly lenient in subject matter. There’s a champion Persian named Cocaine Cake, I can’t remember out of what cattery though.
