* IWasNamedMyName: Subverted: main character Troy Horan [[PsychicPowers communicates telepathically]] with a group of animals -- a pair of foxes, a pair of cats, and a kinkajou -- with intelligence upgraded to human level. When he asks about their names, the female cat says somewhat disdainfully that they were given "Man's names!", and Troy senses a hint "that there were other forms of identification more subtle and intelligent, beyond the reach of a mere human." There's a touch of HypocriticalHumor there, as she told him that '''after''' she referred to the male fox by his human-given name.

''Catseye'' is a 1961 ScienceFiction novel by Creator/AndreNorton.
The luxury city of Tikil has attached to it the Dipple, the dumping ground of refugees who will never return home after the peace treaty gave up their planets. Troy Hogan, orphan, tries to survive on day labor, and finds a job at a store selling exotic animals to the rich -- and carrying out other tasks behind that front. Not to mention that some of the animals are more than they seem.
The third Literature/{{Warlock}} novel, ''Forerunner Foray'', also opens in Tikil.
