When I adopted "Cody" from the shelter, I wanted to bestow upon him a name to reflect his regal bearing. PASHA seemed to fit and he subsequently made good use of it, demanding deference and adoration. I was quite proud of myself to come up with it, too.
Lo and behold, just the other day, among my browsing, not only did I come across another cat named Pasha, but a Red-and-White Maine Coon:

Check it out; there are some wonderful scenes of the breed, lounging, sleeping, stretching--you get the picture.
I guess, my name for my "best cat ever" wasn't so far-fetched after all.
