The top cat names are decidedly prissier: Lucy, Molly, Oreo, Kittens, Smokey, Princess, Shadow, Tigger, Angel and Missy.Speaking of the vet's office, are you comfortable with the vet adding your surname to your pet?

If we were aware this was going on we would never have laid Alfie
As previously reported, Danny Chaney, from Eaglescliffe, was horrified to find condoms near his baby son's grave. It is believed prostitutes use the Acklam Road site, and the baby garden in particular. Together with his partner Jolene Hawkes and mum Carole Jevons, Danny is calling for the cemetery gates to be locked at night to put a stop to disrespectful behaviour. The family has already handed a petition containing more than 200 names to Stockton Council which is now considering whether to stop vehicles accessing the site between 6pm and 6am. Stockton Council also increased security patrols but Carole said these now appear to have stopped. "It seemed to deter the prostitutes when the security guards were there.
