5. They change constantly.
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 05:19 PM by ocelot
But for now, both Teddy and Milo will "answer" to Buddy, Baby, Fuzzybutt and Hairball. And on occasion, as when horking up hairballs that I step in or when turning my couch into confetti, they are called Goddamn Fucking Cat.


Teddy, in his normal state


Teddy, contemplating tearing out my spleen


Fuzzybutt and Hairball with DU

7. I had a cat named Luna, but I called it "little fucker" more than Luna
Then, my dog, Laughing Gravy, I would just call Gravy.

The cat was a little devil. :)

14. Peanut of the North. We call her...
Peanut. Peanuthead. Peanutty-buddy. Peepeebutt. Peanut girl. Peanut-puppy. Peanut-puppy-head. Puppy-head.
Our friend Chris always calls her Butternuts.

She responds to all of them- of course, though, she responds to anything said while looking at her, sneezes, coughs, high pitch noises, scratching (she hates it when we scratch eachother or ourselves), or anytime the man and I touch eachother. Sweet little puppyhead, she's only 13 weeks old.

21. Nige Tige
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 08:12 PM by Pithlet
His name is Nigel, but we call him all variations of the name. It's evolved and sometimes he's just Tige, or Dige, or Nige Dige. I know it's weird, but I always do that with my pet's names. Sometimes he's Nigenson, and I'm not sure how that evolved.

I can't believe I just admitted that :embarrassed:
