Does Anyone Else Give Their Cats Nicknames?

[trashlyn]

i have two cats. one has been missing for over a month now but he’s still my baby and i’m not losing hope that i will find him..

anyway, here are my cats’ nicknames

chibi (the one who is missing) - cheebz, cheeb meister, gary (the snail), cheebz dweeb, garfield (his favorite treat is lasagna), son, son-son

kibanna (plays fetch) - kibbin, kibbin mclibbin, cob (she likes corn on the cob), kiban, kevin

my boyfriend also sometimes calls her red *****/orange ***** when she’s being naughty lmao (she’s a ginger cat and has the most personality i’ve ever seen)

i’m sure there’s more nicknames but that’s the ones we call them most frequently. we call them by their nick names more often than their government names lol

just curious if anyone else does this lol

Yep, not abnormal at all. All of my cats have at least 4 or 5 nicknames each.

My husband always calls our cat named Biscuit, Biscuit Eater because he’s always wanting to eat. I call him piglet sometimes.

Evening cat (when she was outdoor kitty and visited at 9pm)
Basement cat (when she moved in)
Olive Juice
Little creme brûlée cupcake (any dessert names)
Chubs
Fatty (she is plumping out lol)
The Tortie

Gohan is:
Little Grey and White cat (Randall has a psycho roommate and couldn’t Denver the cat’s name)
Ninja cat - Because he strikes accurately and swiftly out of nowhere. He’s too serious for many nicknames

 

[Graceful-Lily]

I call Felix "Foo" and "Foofpoof" and "Foofee".

 

[Kieka]

Link is Linkers or Sir Linksalot.

Nightfury is Fury or Furry.

Rocket is rarely anything but Rocket. Rocket is already technically a shortening of her full name Rocket the Raccoon.

I will keep the list limited to the cats still currently on this earth or it'd be a very long list

Sully:
Sully Wully, Sully Wully Doodle Butt, Baby Kitty (when he was actually the baby lol)

Jade:
Mama, B**ch (actually more like me yelling her name and telling her not to be one lol)

Amber:
Auntie, Sweet Kitty

Piccolo:
Little Baby, Pickles, Baby Pickies

And of course, they all get called HEY quite a bit

I used to date a guy who had a cat named Foofy lol... mostly he was "The Foof."

 

[jcat]

Mowgli is called Monster due to his habit of jumping out at us from dark corners, and Teddy Bear Cat when he cuddles with me on the sofa every evening.

Just re-read this. Funny how we take their names and give them rhyming 'surnames'. Hope your kitter comes back soon!

The Naming Of Cats - Poem by T. S. Eliot

The naming of cats is a difficult matter
It isn't just one of your holiday games
You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES

TS Eliot
