I had a wonderful domestic shorthair tuxedo cat whose name was apparent immediately: Raptor (which means claw). High energy, followed me everywhere, scratched and grabbed at everything, shredded my hands, attacked the boss, tormented roaches in a box she used as an arena, shared lizard halves with me, and nibbled my ears raw. Her full name was Ninja-Raptor KittySaurus.
She was also quite affectionate and intelligent; really more like a dog than a cat. RIP Raptor.
