Apparently, some years ago, there were a number of pairs of cats in London called Keith & Prowse. They were named after the ticket agents whose slogan was 'You want the best seats, we've got them'.

Grandson's Guinea pig is a female called Stuart....
She's mostly white and Stuart Little was a popular film when she was born.

We lived next door to a Siamese cat called Ceepher ( C for cat)
