And What Names Did You Call Your Cats Today?
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Have you ever noticed that our cats names will spawn newer, more creative names than we ones we originally gave them? Mine certainly do … I have four Old-Style Siamese cats; Tonka, a blue point male, Lexus, a seal point female, George, a blue point male and Pearl, a seal point female. George and Pearl are the offspring of Tonka and Lexus.
Tonka is know as “Stinka”, “Stinky-Boy” and “Stink-Bug”. When he plays aggressively with one of his fur mousies, he is known as “The Tonkinator”.
Lexus has many names but chiefly among them is “Bo-Bex”, “Boo-Sha” and “Lexigator”. She tends to be the diplomat in our home, breaking up friction between George and Pearl when they get into a tussle.
George is simply known as “Butterball” for his way of slipping into your lap without you even being aware of it until you need to get up.
I am horrible about making up little names for Pearl … bless her heart, she is the best cat ever, loving and gentle, kind to everyone and quite smart. But somehow she has become known as “Pearl, Pot of Peas”, “Pearlpottamus” or just “Pot”. She is a robust girl, stocky and substantial and resembles a little pot. *grin*
I love them all dearly, but I wonder … am I the only one who makes up names for their cats? I don’t think I am, but would love to hear some of the funny things other people call their kitties!
