Edmund Hillary was once had four cats named ginger because he ran out of names about a month after his favorite cat named Polly had become impregnated by a stray cat that was once named Fredrick but now didn’t care about what it’s name was because it had become too preoccupied with finding food to eat in garbage cans and finding cats named Polly to impregnate.
