The name can carry bad aura, and your kittie wants to have much happier life than he had before he met you. Of course, it's your cat and can name him all you want.
I still feel sorry for poor cat. If he only understood whose name he got he would be screaming.

Well, it was more so to do with the fact he is quite Powerful looking, his brother is Stalin and they are Russian blues, it is more about being clever and humorous...not about disgracing him with the name of a Dictator...but qualities he holds. I don't believe naming him Lenin will in any way effect the type of life he has with us....sorry you feel that way.

I definitely knew he wasn't Himalayan! Especially with his size. I need to get his frontal shot because he looks so much like a MC then... he is so large when he stretches in the kitchen his head reaches the counter tops!

On Russian names, what about Peter the Great?

Or if he is a character...I like Yeltsin. {grin}

Last picture of a cat that looks like Lenin

I did have a kitten that the rescue group talked me into naming him Chaplin instead of the madman pictured above. {hint}

Thank you, Spencer, it made me laugh too.
It also made me believe that there are cats out there who just look very much like their namesake monsters.
There is a speculation that pets over time start resembling their owners. If Stalin, Hitler or Lenin had cats, that's how their pets would look like.
Imagining pictures of these dictators with cats on their laps made me laugh even more.

Not meaning to go off-topic but after viewing the cats that looked like Hitler...it reminded me of this story which I read today about a house in Swansea,Wales,that looks like Hitler
