Here's an interesting conversation I had with my new next-door neighbor last week. This was right after the flooding, and I had shut Alice up in the front room of my apartment; she was pacing back and forth in the window, tail out horizontally.

Neighbor: She's such a beautiful cat! We've seen her in your front window so many times. She's mad at you now, though.
Me: Yeah, she's pretty hyper. Is that your cat? [kitten is running around madly in the front downstairs room of her apartment]
Neighbor: Yes [proceeds to tell long story of how she got the cat] So, what's your cat's name?
Me: Alice.
Neighbor: That's a funny name for a cat.
Me: Well, what's your cat's name?
Neighbor: Fenster.
