- One of the cats we're looking after while my boss is away is named Jicarita,
- pronounced with a hard J (the kids who named her don't speak Spanish). I
- gather this fairly quickly got shortened to Jiggs, probably as much for the
- people's sake as the cat's :-).
-
- I'm also told that as often as not she was called "B.D.", short for "Brain
- Dead", though since she suddenly warmed up to us a week ago, she hasn't
- really demonstrated behavior worthy of that name.
-
- She responds to "Jiggs" ("answers" would be too strong a word :-) ), but shows
- no reaction to either B.D. or Jicarita. I wouldn't either.
-
- So now, in addition to Abby and Boots, we have Jiggs and Tiger (her brother).
