Best black cat name, ever.
My friend Jon who is– unsurprisingly –from Ballard named his cat Buns. He wanted to name it Ass, but his mom wouldn’t let him so Buns was the compromise. I knew Jon for 23 years and Buns survivied for easily 16 of those. When Jon was older he gave Buns to his mom. I used to go over there to help her move furniture and stuff and it was always weird to hear her calling the cat by its name.
And the cat? Meaner than a fat kid on a rice cake diet. I always figured he was pissed about the name.
