Lefty and The Precious wanted to call him Vin Diesel.
I said no.
It just seemed wrong to title a fluffy, lazy, helpless, fat little furball after a celebrity studmuffin. I wouldn't even name him Jeremy Renner.
We compromised. Vin Diesel's real name is Mark Sinclair Vincent, and, being a little more low-key, seemed an appropriate enough way to dub the cat.
The cat, however, is convinced that he is a god, and as such is entitled to choose his own autonym which he required to be multitudinous in syllables.
Thus the house cat came to be known as Mark Sinclair Vincent St. Agnes von Lichtenschtein. Usually we just call him Vinnie. Hunneypunkin inexplicably refers to him as Chuck, or sometimes Frank.
Vinnie is ten years old now, and just as many pounds. He still believes he's a god no matter how many ways we assert our own dominance. When I try to blog he walks across the keyboard and takes a nap on my fingers, so a long time ago I gave up and let him write his own blog. I decided to humor him and pin his blog posts. Unexpected side effect: if you search "Mark Sinclair Vincent" on Pinterest, you'll see all kinds of photos of Vin Diesel, along with a few of our cat.
