Cleopatra actually named herself - when she first came to live with me, there was the usual territorial dispute with the older cats, ie lots of hissing and spitting (I call it "leaky tire syndrome")
Anyway, one day Cleo was walking down the hallway past Polgara, who was doing her best "leaky tire" impression, and Cleo sauntered by her, completely ignoring the display.
As I watched in amazement, my only reaction was to say "you are such the Queen of Denial! Oh my God, you've named yourself! Cleopatra, Queen of Denial!"
And so, Her Royal Highness, Cleopatra, Queen of Denial she became.
