The mother of Moose is a cat under my house. My male cat got out and impregnated her. We then had him fixed, but 90 days have passed, and there were 6 kittens outside. A friend of mine tried to catch one, and he did succeed, with the runt of the litter. I thought the name Moose sounded like such a large animal compared to his small size... so Moose stuck!
