We’re very much in favour of rescue centres for animals and there’s no better way to get yourself a furry friend, but we have to ask ourselves what lies behind the bizarre names being given to the cats waiting for a new home at Austin Pets Alive.

A Twitter user named nic spotted them first.

We’re not certain, but we have our suspicions about where these names are coming from.
