He was named by the rescue centre after either a)the car, because he was a cute little mini cat or b) super, super Colin Cooper who plays for Nottinhgam Forest allegedly . I think it's a) in truth, the RSPCA girl who reluctantly let country girl take custody of him didn't look like she was a Forest fan.
For info it appears that Cooper's back story is that he was found at the side of the road, suspected car hit and run victim, no real injuries apparently.
Well country girl begs to differ. That cat has distinctly bandy legs as pointed out by some near neighbours who still refer to him as Wyatt and I suspect a slight brain injury (don't ask I just reckon it explains a lot)
At first Cooper seemed quite normal, a sweet little puss barely out of kittenhood who liked his cuddles. But then the declining numbers in the bird population became apparent, particularly as they appeared in the kitchen. Then one squealchy night time visit to the coal shed revealed that Cooper had his own personal dead bird storage facility.
Over time, his campness became more noticed so he was lovingly nicknamed Reggie.
(Kray of course whose behaviour he seemed to mirror).
Not that you'd think it now as he snootle purrs on the sofa picture of cuteness. Yes well thats what he wants you to think.
So now you know - his full name of course is Cooper Beelzebub Ptolemy Reggie and I am sure you will hear more Cooper related rantings from Country girl later.
