9. We had a tabby named Claudia.

She was named after the baby vampire in the "Interview with the Vampire" books. We loved those books and loved our Claudia. She lived to be seventeen.

We named her after the baby vampire because our kitty loved to nip people if she was not getting enough attention. She was a spoiled thing.
