When Bob mentioned to friends that we were in the market for a kitten, a particularly crafty friend with lots of spare kittens brought us two nearly identical purring black blobs of fur and invited us to choose one, knowing perfectly well that Bob was too softhearted to turn one of them away. We named them after their two most salient characteristics -- they were always Underfoot, but fortunately they were Portable enough to be bodily removed from danger.
We suspect Underfoot was weaned too early, because she had a passionate attachment to bob's ears, which she loved to suck, often at somewhat inconvenient moments.
