What magnificent ears. I see that you're Canadian, so I assume that the name is after an Islay in Canada rather than the island in Scotland. What made you choose it?

Also, awfully brave for a cod to own cats

I love her large ears. Reminds me of a fox.

Islay was named after the scotch, so you were right about the island in Scotland! When she was a little younger, the grey in her coat was far lighter in colour and looked like a smoky colour, so I figured since Islay is usually a smoky scotch (and my personal preference for any hard liquor outside of Canada), the name seemed fitting. We would’ve called her Peaty if she went by he instead, for the same reason.

I hadn’t put two and two together with my username here, that’s hilarious.

Well that's an excellent reason!
