Both my cats have high voices, even tho one of them is a boy. They also both have moments when they 'squeak' and Saru has a very whiny way of speaking and a lot of energy.

lol thank you. Hubby came up with that nickname for him when Pixie went missing for a couple of days. He used to be a stray cat outside that we started feeding when we moved to our apartment. When we didn't see Pixie for a few days, hubby said "Where is that Pixelated Cat?" Shortly after that, we adopted him and made him our indoor kitty 
Remy: Rem, Bud, Buddy, Dude, Brat, Jerk Face. When I first got him I briefly called him Remington Steele, but I stopped that after a month or so.
Maisie: Maisie Girl, Pretty Girl, Maise, Sweetie.

Krista has many nicknames:
Three tooth (when she had one canine extracted)
One tooth (when she had two more extracted)
Furry Foreman
My Alarm Clock
Pooper Duper
Poopy Butthole
Fur Pig
My socially awkward roommate who poops in a box
Cat Gallagher (ibd barf from atop media bench. The splash zone was huuuuuge!)
Barf grenade (I have woken to the sound of her retching on the bed and I toss that barf grenade to blow at ground level)
Hat Trick (I prefer this to “triaditis”)
When she gets sick, giving her a nickname helps me accept it with grace (and an inappropriate sense of humor.)
But mostly I just call her Baby.

Good day?
Cute, cutie, munchkin. Boys are bro, brothers, and each have a nickname for their personality (the cat that eats bugs is bug cat or bug killer. The cat that loves laying on the computer is computer cat, etc.)
Girls are sis, sissy, sister, cutest cat ever (that's Baby Girl) and mouse killer. Same with personable nicknames, except for one cat we lovingly call "b***h cat" because she'll kill herself to steal one morsel of food (that is about 1/18th of a teaspoon) from another cat and plot it so amazingly well that we can't help but be impressed with her determination. That's a cat with a future.
Bad day, when you step in cat vomit at 5:00AM while you're barely awake, and a cat randomly decides to leap up and latch onto your face with 4 feet of claws?
Jerks. They're just jerks. Queen Bee's brother has a nasty 10 year old habit of screaming, yowling for food when he knows he needs to not do that because it's barely 2 past 5 in the morning and I'm not awake enough to feed him. Over the years, it's gone from loud screaming to a low key, quiet, muffled yowl. Because he's smarter than me, and he's a jerk, and knows I can't tell a cat to stop screaming if they're not screaming.

Any inanimate object, topic of conversation, food, or slightly weird word that happens to be brought up at any given moment (aww, you're such a gooooood Historical Artifact! I love my little Cacao Nibs Tea! Look at my favorite Lint Roller! Perfect angel Grain Of Salt! She's a real live Spicy Fire Chicken Ramen Noodle Packet!)

None of this is even getting into the specific dialect and uniquely weird manner of speaking that each of them has.

I got called by the dog's name all the time. I think Dad just had a list of household names to go through, and he stopped when when he hit upon one that seemed right.What I want to know is.... how many people accidentally call their partner by their cat's name when flustered?
