Before modern times, I bet people didn't always give their kids a name right away...

American Indians supposedly named children based on signs they saw in nature.

I was thinking about Native American names when I posted this thread too...

They make a lot more sense than the system we go by these days, in my opinion.

Speaking of Audrey, it's raining. That means she'll come home today. She stays gone for days, sometimes a week at a time. But she comes home when it rains.

I don't even worry about her anymore. She has her own agenda, and I respect that.

Yeah I always tend to outside cats, and particularly in the country, they sometimes run away for long periods of time. Mine usually don't stay gone for a week. Townie cats outside though, typically when they disappear for more than a few days, it's permanent... that's been my experience.
