DUer Hissy Spit Inspires barn cat name

A couple of years back there were 3 identical dark grey kittens born in the barn before th Colony Caregivers could get their Mamma to the spay clinic. There was no identifying features, and all female. Since I couldn't tell them apart I took to calling them the grey gang, and didn't give them individual names.

Flash Forward- One grey got spayed and since her ear tip identifies her, I named her Tiny. A second of the grey gang decided she likes wandering and rarely comes around anymore. Then there is the third.

She followed in her Mama's footsteps and has kittens before she was able to be trapped and spayed. Well ever since she has had the kittens she has taken to hissing and spitting every time I or one of the other cats come any where near her even when her babies aren't in the vicinity. The first thing that popped into my mind was this DU nick name.

So Hissy she is.

One of our kitties can be feisty (he's also snuggly), but when he's in one of "those" moods his nickname is Hissy Puss.
