The Cat formerly known as Lola

We have a cat. If you ask what his name is Eli will quickly reply, "Caballero Don Diego Heath." He even rolls the R. We went to have "Lola" spayed and she came out a he! (I honestly don't know how we missed that! I think what it was is that my sister, Sharon, told us he was a she and we just didn't question it. ) So we had an appointment made with the vet to get her spayed and were surpised to find out that our kitty was a boy.
Jared was, for some reason, happier that we had a boy cat verses a girl cat. So, we set off on finding a new name for our kitty. Jared really wanted a Spanish name for the cat so that he could yell at it in Spanish, just for the fun of it.
He came up with a list, while at school with his friend, Mike Corbett, who also speaks Spanish. (Yeah, he sure did work hard that day!)
Here is the list:
Caballero: Gentleman
Posteridad: Posterity
Muerte: Death
Cacahuate: Peanuts
Matador: Killer
Casador: Hunter
Don Diego
Don Alejandro
Jose
Roberto
Bernardo
Lechero: Milk Man
Sombro Blanco: White Shadow
Intoxicado: Intoxicated
Inodoro: Toilet
Hombre:Man
Herido: Wounded
Gusano Blanco: Maggot Worm
Golpeado: Beaten
Borracho: Drunk
Cortado: Cut
Chichon: Bump, Swelling
Loco: Crazy
Cartucho: Cartridge
Buitre: Vulture
Bombero: Fireman
Castro: (Conotation of Casterated)
Guerrero: Warrior
Bajon: Lowered
Celibato: Cellebate
Amoroso: Lover
Alejamiento:Removal, Separation, estrangement
Albondigo: Meatball
Muchacho: Young Man
I liked Don Diego and Jared liked Caballero. Thus, now we have Caballero Don Diego Heath!

I like MORTY. When you walk into the room you could say..."well hey there morty!" Then Master Heath could correct you and say it's Muerte, it means DEATH. hahahha.
