Because Misha has been reading your posts on GS ??
Or ... maybe he is referring to Lilo and Stitch, his favorite Disney movie.
Off topic:
Please do not feel any pressure to comment/answer, but I will admit that I have wondered about the origin of your GS name. Maybe it is a thing, but I just have been living under a rock again ... :confused2:
This cat of mine is named Stitch
He was an abandoned orphan that was found by the brother of a guy i was dating about 10 years ago. Knowing I am a sucker, he called me up "want a cat? it matches your other cats" and me being a sucker took him in and bottle fed him with the intent of finding him a real home. The little brothers named him Stitch and as I wanted to not get attached I did not really care. I don't know if they named him for Lilo and Stitch or not, I never asked, I was failing to not get attached. Considering that growing up I had four cats named Goldy, Gracie (guess who gets refereed to as the cat skater in my family) Whitie and Stripie, and a bird named Beaky, I was just happy to not have three cats named Ginger, or Ginger, Orangie and Redie with my luck.
Anyway, finding homes for kitties you bottle feed does not go well, so I ended up with three unrelated matching cats. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that Stitch was a monkey, so he gets called StitchMonkey or often just Monkey. I am with a different guy now, and neither of us are completely sure when or why Monkey got added to the name, but we just go with it. As Stitch is often taken, I go with StitchMonkey as it is not often taken online. I am not great with coming up with names, (I once accidentally named a video game character a person who tried to kill Andy Warhol - I think StitchMonkey is better) so I tend to go with what works.
I do feel the need to try to get my Stitch cat to paw at Misha's feet like the other one has done for Jason. But he is pretty stubborn about not doing things you want him too. Maybe I'll lay a monitor flat and toss cat nip on it for him.
