Finally we decided on the names of the cats. We are the girls in our SPA hostel. We stay at the the topmost floor in the east wing. There are 6 rooms and two girls in each of them. and we have two regular cats and several other visiting ones. I hate cats and I am scared of them too. My room mate Tinni always holds my hand when I have to go down the stairs and Teribilly is on the stairs. Its her favourite place to sit and its favourite passtime is to scare me. After an hour long discussion, the nasty black cat with yellow patches is finally named "Terribilly" (the close second option was "Horibilly" but was rejected due to its uncanny siginificance to some holy name; it can be anything but holy). The white cat is named Possibilly by Sashu after some charecter in some book (she reads a lot u see). And the other two visiting cats are finally named Probabilly and Incorigibilly. Probabilly has very less probability of coming to the top floor. They have their territory divided -- two cats for every two bathrooms. Incorigilbilly always pees on clothes or mattresses that we put to dry on the terrace.
Every other day we see new cats in the hostel and have to fast decide on their names. We are hoping against hope that in this name series we would not run out of names for them, ....... Feebilly, Stabilly, Pebbilly, Doubilly (for symmetrical twins), .......
