| There is catnip on that sparkling ball. |
Last fall our family adopted Griffin from a friend of mine. She is going to have a baby any second and she wanted to get rid of her more "active" cat before adding the new baby to her family. We were in the market and the stars aligned. We adopted Griffin in October and when I was telling my pal Sabrina about the cat she accidentally referred to him as Gifford. Nickname #1 was born.
Fred and I both caught ourselves calling the cat Sammy when he first arrived. The last house cat the Fred and I shared was Sammy who was part of our family way back before the Fabulous Baker Boys were around. Griffin and Sammy have very similar features. Easy slip.

| Catnip is long gone but the playfulness lingers. |
Well, then we got to know Griffin and what we know about him is that he is VERY NOSEY! If you open a drawer he climbs in. If he is curious he may just open a cabinet all by himself and explore the depth of it. We have yet to teach the cat to close the cabinets. (I'm not optimistic by the way.) Nosey Parker is a character from Skinnamarink, a kid show from the Canadian Broadcast Network that we used to see up in Michigan. She was a nosey neighbor that kept an eye on kids in the park. Griffin is Nosey Parker about everything happening in this house. He has explored the attic, loves to sneak out into the garage and is also quite a climber.
Now you know the story behind the cat's full confirmation name, Griffin Gifford Sammy Nosey Parker.
