Now you're obligated to get a dog named Tonic.

Mass hysteria!

I used to have a cat named gin, but not named after the alcohol.

Her name was 銀 (gin, pronounced geen like green) which is silver in Japanese.

She passed this time last year, quite unexpectedly, after 16 years with me, but your post brought some happy memories :)

I hope your Gin had Shinpachi and Kagura to form the complete Yourozuya trio.

I miss Gintama... Time for a rewatch

I'm sorry to hear it has passed. I came to the comments to see how the name was pronounced. Did you also have one named Mugen per chance?

So freaking cute. Hi Gin!

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pronounced like the G in "gif", I presume.

Depends on who you ask

Is your other cat named Vodka? 😆

[–] ving_thor@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I kinda feel like Gin needs a Tonic.

[–] AmberRose@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

I dared to stop playing for a second to look at my phone.

I was hoping it was a Bleach reference, but still, very nice.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I was hoping for Samurai Champloo personally

I just surrendered a stray I fostered 2 weeks ago that looked just like them. Cute little bugger
