My friends adopted a stray cat and called him Earl - short for feral (pronounced fer- Earl) they said. I liked it. And he was a cool cat. So when I had a stray cat frequent my apartment years later I named him Earl too. I tried to bring him inside once but he just sprayed everything and scratched to get out so that was the end of that. But to me, a Earl is a great cat name.
