Cat nicknames: got any good ones?

[kedrys]

The s.o. started calling Socrates "Huge Jackman" after Socks weighed in at 25lbs at the vet. Before that, Socks was occasionally referred to as "Ears McMittens".

Neutrino acquired the nick "Sister Mary Asgard" earlier this week. Yes, we're Stargate SG-1 weenies.

How about your cats?

[TZ]

1. I call mine fuzzy butt alot

Sometimes I call them THE DEVIL......

[kedrys]

13. Fuzzy Butt seems to be a standard

Evie sometimes goes by EEEEvil, or Little Demon. She's the black one with an attitude. :D

[mitchum]

2. All of out cats also have nicknames...

Nicky Tears
Carlito Gordito
Sancha Bonita
The Calico Flash

[kedrys]

14. "The Calico Flash"?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[mitchum]

23. "Why walk...when I can run?"

seems to be her approach to life

[kedrys]

37. Evie has serious gravity problems, made worse at high speeds

Apparently, so does my sister's new kitty, who can do laps around her living room without ever touching the floor. :wow:

[graywarrior]

3. I'm taking care of a cat names Socks who got renamed Hatchet Head

after he mysteriously split his scalp open last week. And my cat's name is Kamere, as in Come Here.

[kedrys]

15. Oh, that cat

The stuntcat :D How's he doing?

[justabob]

4. Augustus Maximus

He is not quite so large as yours, but he is in the 15-20 pound range, and thinks so highly of himself that he needed a very serious Imperial name.

[kedrys]

16. Socks' brother Plato weighs about 18 pounds

Sometimes goes by the name Platonicus Rex. Socks is also known as Giganticles. :D

[Arugula Latte]

5. I'll admit it. I call my girl kitty ...

"my precious angel treasure" :blush:

[kedrys]

17. Awwwwww!

So cute! Nothing embarrassing about that either. :)

[Ikonoklast]

6. Well, our newest female is named Missy

which quickly became 'Missy, Queen Of All She Surveys' because she believes that everything in the house belongs to Her Royal Highness.

Daughter's jewelry? Missy steals it. We've found necklaces in the water dish.

Son's car keys? She grabs them and runs.

I can't leave a pen or paper clip laying around for a second, she steals them when I'm not looking.

[kedrys]

20. Sounds like my Evie, aka Princess

She's in charge of everything. She doesn't hijack shiny objects, though - her thing is twisty ties. :D

[Arkansas Granny]

I occassionally call mine "Shithead" when she overturns a glass of

water or whatever I'm drinking. She can't just look in the glass to see what's in it, she must grab the rim with her claws and pull it over. Then she has to jump around and do that crazy dance because she got her feet wet.

I have learned to only drink from covered containers.

[kedrys]

22. Makes sense

:rofl: I think all cats are called that once in a while...

[mountainvue]

7. Princess Naya, Mean Girl (for my black cat who is at times

inexplicably mean. I think she has some feral cat in her.) Or we call her Cissy Hissy or Cissy Kissy depending on her mood.
Doodle bug for my sweet little boy kitty.

[kedrys]

21. Do all black cats have an attitude?

Imhotep was the mellowest cat ever, but his daughter Evie is occasionally known as Death From Above. :rofl:

[mountainvue]

60. Haha. The girls seem to. Her brother was the

sweetest thing ever. Meanwhile she literally snorts and snarls. She is the biggest cuddler of my bunch though and loves her belly rubbed and to play fetch (sometimes at 3 am). Teh kitties are wonderful creatures. I love 'em.

[meow2u3]

99. My new landlady's black cat Sparkles has one

I even nicknamed her Her Meowjesty (meow + majesty).

[Debi]

8. All our cats are strays

so we usually call them 'eat you little fuckers'. :shrug:

[kedrys]

24. All of ours are rescues as well

What you describe usually happens at breakfast, especially if they wake me up early. :rofl:

[Critters2]

27. Leon thinks "Stop eating Shamu's food!" is his nickname.

Three cats, three different diets. What a PITA!!

[Debi]

39. Sounds familiar

One of the strays wormed his way onto our sun porch and we let him sleep there on cold nights - of course he has food/water/litter box. The dog always comes on to the porch to eat the cat's food and the cat sneaks into the house to eat the dogs food. :crazy:

[kedrys]

42. That's a lot like Plato,aka "In your own bowl, dammit!"

:rofl:

I'm lucky - my five pretty much all like the same food, although Quark (aka Dave The White) prefers dry kibble to wet food. Go fig. :shrug:

[Critters2]

48. Mine are all special:

Leon--prescription Purina UR:st/ox for lower urinary tract disease

Shamu--Purina Pro-Plan Weight Management or Healthy Weight or whatever (the vet told me he HAD to lose weight a year ago, and said I could go with the prescription stuff or this, which are basically the same. The Pro-Plan is cheaper!).

Sophia--Wysong Vitality, the ONLY food she's able to keep down since she had pancreatitis two years ago. The slightest nibble of anything else comes right back up.

[madinmaryland]

9. "hellaflump" was one.

We called him heffalump, but my daughter messed it up and it stuck!

[kedrys]

26. LOL!

That's cute!

Caesar's main nickname was Pweetums, but I called him Tweepums one night when I came home blind drunk. I woke up the next morning on the floor, with Caesar looking at me trying to figure out whether I was white or dark meat. :rofl:

[Lil Missy]

10. I call one of my cats "snarly butt". Because he's a little shit ass.

He seems to think it is a term of affection. :eyes:

[kedrys]

28. It's all in the tone of voice

If I call them horrible things with a smile, they don't seem to care much. :P

[Xipe Totec]

11. Clawdius n/t

[kedrys]

29. Goes with Socks' Dr Claw moniker

:)

[Xipe Totec]

36. I also like Chairman Meow Zedong

:evilgrin:

[kedrys]

44. Caesar was occasionally known as Mao Zedong

When he and Ms Marble were my only cats. She also went by Meow Yin. :D

[yellowdogintexas]

12. well, there is LewisLardbutt, WideLoad, and Louie Louie for Lewis.

Clark is called Whiney Cat, Basement Cat, Slick ( he is a very very black cat, and looks like an oil slick in the sun)

CatZilla is called Zillie, Zcat, Zee, SilliZillie, Zills


Lewis and Zills collectively are the Grays.

The three of them are The Boys, the Goofersons, the Doofi and the Cat Mafia

any of them may be addressed as 'dork' when I am annoyed at him/them.

our recently departed half Siamese was named Thomas. He was known as Tommy, Tommy TipToes, Mr Cat, Six (had six toes on the front feet) Ole Blue Eyes, the Old Guy and TTommy

our old Scamp was Queen Bitch of the Universe.

[kedrys]

30. Cool nicknames!

Evie also goes by "None More Black". Only three photos of her exist where you can see her face. :)

[mcctatas]

18. We call the 16 year old Siamese Fat Bastard

or "that neurotic mess" (lovingly of course). So far the new Boudica our new kitty is primarily being called "kitty" and occasionally "evil"

[kedrys]

31. How big is he?

My ex's brother had a 12 pound Siamese cat named Simon - neurotic mess also, probably caused by freakishly high intelligence, like most Siamese cats I've met.

[mcctatas]

33. He has lost a little bit of weight so he is down to about 17

pounds of neurotic grumpy hot mess

[Individualist]

19. Catzilla, Cattila the Hon

were nicknames for my dear little Honey, gone to Rainbow Bridge on 8/29/08.
:cry:

[kedrys]

35. I'm very sorry

I bet she was an awesome kitty. :hug:

[Individualist]

43. Thank you

He was. Now you're thinking - she named a male cat Honey??!

I did indeed. He was a honey colored persian, and since I'm a woman who lives alone, I'd always say "Hi Honey, I'm home" whenever I came through the front door. I had him for 13 years and miss him terribly, especially today. I often sang "My Funny Valentine" to him.

[Critters2]

25. Official name: Shadow. Name he answers to: Shamu. nt

[kedrys]

32. Hmm. Due to size, or attitude?

All of mine answer to their nicknames as well as their "official" designations.

[Critters2]

49. Size. He was a sad, malnourished little thing when he came to me to foster.

Then he discovered cat food! The pounds just piled on! He has a slight disability in his back legs. They're misshapen. Three vets have given three theories as to why--congenital abnormality, malnutrition (basically rickets), or traumatic injury. Anyway, when his weight got to be too much, his back legs were having trouble carrying him. Really. He got that fat. Now, due to "healthy weight" cat food, exercise (gotta love the laser pointer), and scheduled feedings, he's a slimmer, though not slim, 11 pounds.

[WolverineDG]

34. Misty Britches

cuz she loves to sleep on pants, any kind of pants. All I have to do is put them on the bed for 1 second; no matter where she is in the house, when I turn around to put them on, she'll be on them, snoozing away. :crazy:

dg

[kedrys]

40. LOL!

That's a heck of a trick - almost better than tunar! :D

[WolverineDG]

47. No pants are safe around Misty

if you want to wear 'em, DON'T PUT THEM ON THE BED! ;)

dg

[FloridaJudy]

38. Schrodinger

If I ever get another cat, that's what I'm naming it.

[kedrys]

41. That's awesome!

Better yet, get two that look exactly the same. :P

[FloridaJudy]

45. Wouldn't one have to be dead?

BTW, Schrodinger may have known all about quantum theory, but obviously knew squat about cats. There is no cat in the box. It escaped while the theoretical physicist's back was turned and is plotting bloody revenge.

[Jokerman]

46. Tom Tom, The cat so nice we named him twice.

Thomas Jefferson, usually known as T.J. or Lover Boy.

[kedrys]

83. He sounds like a cool cat

:)

[Bossy Monkey]

50. Over the years, there have been dozens, but at the moment

Amelia, the bossy monkey herself, is Monkey, Sillyhead, Sweetie Sweetie Sweet Sweet, Lightnin'(cold weather + nylon carpeting = static electric kitty), Queen Sonja of Norway (I believe she's a Norwegian forest cat-- Amelia, not Queen Sonja), Headbutt, Scritches, and various sweetheart, darling, baby kind of things.

[kedrys]

84. I'd be nervous around a cat nicknamed "Monkey"

:rofl: Does she have the gravity problem gene?

[Bossy Monkey]

106. Aw, she's sweet, also cute

See?

The gravity problem gene reference sails right over my head, but as the monkey often as not does too (ok not really, but close enough), I'd say she doesn't have much of a gravity problem.:)

[kedrys]

107. She's beautiful! So fluffy!

She looks really sweet. :)

My Evie has a defective gravity gene that makes her use "up" and "down" interchangeably. At least it's my theory. :P

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. Big fluffy Milo is sometimes Gato Gordo.

We also have Stripey Guy (Jeoffry the tabby) and Kitty Girl (Pixie). All of them answer to Fuzzy Butt, Little Buddy, and You Goddamn Fucking Cat.

[TZ]

52. "you goddamn fucking cat"

Why do I have a feeling an awful lot of cats answer to that!
:rofl:

[Runcible Spoon]

54. Hey! Mine goes by "goddamn fucking cat" too!

:rofl:

[kedrys]

65. And mine, occasionally. Whaddaya know.

:rofl:

[Runcible Spoon]

53. My mom calls her all black cat the Parlor Panther.

I think that's adorable.

[kedrys]

82. That is so cute!

My mom called Evie "Oh my God!" when she (mom) realized that there was a cat on the (black) carpet. All she saw at first was Evie's eyes. It was pretty freaky, actually. :rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

55. My "Simone" is "Moaners", "Boners" or "Bonehead"

[kedrys]

85. She's gorgeous!

:loveya: Thanks for the pics! She looks like she has big paws - I love cats with big poosies.

[femmocrat]

56. "That Darn" -- anyone remember the Disney movie?

We have a variety of endearing terms for ours, including, "That Stupid" and "Goddam"

He is almost 20 years old and I really don't know how such a stupid animal could still be alive.

[kedrys]

86. I vaguely remember the movie

We have a string of expletives reserved for when they wake us up too early for breakfast. :P

20 years old, huh. Very impressive. I bet he's the most spoiled cat on the planet (after ours).

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

57. Collectively, they are called the Gang of Fur.

[kedrys]

87. LOL!

Mine are referred to as "the horde", although Plato is pretty much a horde all by himself at 18 pounds. :P

[Tikki]

58. We had a cat...we called him Mars...the Cool Cat From...

Mars. His name was Marshall.

Tikki

[kedrys]

88. Martian kitty, huh

Sometimes I wonder. :D

[applegrove]

59. I call Monster "Monter". I call tiny Twilight "Fatso" because she is so skinny.

[kedrys]

89. How big is Monster?

I have visions of the orange monster in tennis shoes in those old Bugs Bunny cartoons... :rofl:

[applegrove]

100. He's black and white and was an unneutered male for a few years. So he has

big muscles. He used to attack me so I named him Monster. He attacks much less now. He's very cuddly. Love him. He's a big male but not huge. Not terribly fat. Just my love bug.

[blue_onyx]

61. Our one cat is pretty big

and I call her my chunky monkey.

[kedrys]

90. LOL!

I'm sure she doesn't mind. :D

[DeepBlueC]

62. not entirely proud of these...

Marcus = Merridough (I don't know why; it just comes out of my mouth)

Jillian = Jelly Bean (natch)

Nigel = Nigh Nigh

Mickey = Micksie (he's new...I will pretzel this one up eventually)

Felix = Fifi or Feewee (those are kind of embarassing, but I just can't help myself)

Also all of them are at times furry butt, furball, sweetness, love bunny.

[kedrys]

91. But they're cute...!

Nothing embarrassing about sweet nothings names for kitties... :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. He gets called El Gato a lot.

Or since his name is Sam I tend to call him Samwise, like Lord of the Rings. :D

[kedrys]

66. Caesar was El Gato Grande

One of my buddies called him El Gato Gordo. He was a lanky and fit 16 pounds at his peak. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

67. Ooh, mine could be El Gato Grande too.

he's a fatty.



How are you doin? Happy VD! :hug:

[kedrys]

68. Happy Valentine's you too!

Half a bottle of sake later, I'm feeling very little pain. You? :loveya:

Bub, Bubbity-boo, Bubbity-booboo or Little Black Bastard.

That way they could get mad at the cat without actually swearing--they're just calling him by name.

[old mark]

92. Fatso the Catso....nt

[BarbaRosa]

93. Zoom zoom

Tiger reached that kitten age where he was mostly a tan blur racing around the house at full speed, at the time Mazda started their zoom zoom advertisements. The name has stuck, I even sing the zoom zoom tune when he is snuggin in my lap. He knows who zoomzoom is.

[sohndrsmith]

94. Well, you can probably guess this little scaper's nickname....

That's right... Digit.

I was telecommuting as a digital illustrator for a computer game company when I adopted him, so YES, I scanned him... (sans scanner cover, obviously. I was scanning all sorts of things back then, and still do). He was thoroughly nonplussed about the whole thing.

[bikebloke]
