Question of The Day. Saturday 6th of February.

[Norachan]

Good morning.



Do your cats have nicknames? Not all of mine do, but the ones with the most personality have earnt themselves a nickname.

Sophie is known as Sophalicious.
Mia is called Mia the Minx or Minxie Princess.
Hiro probably thinks his name is Hiro Cutitout! but he also goes by Brave Sir Hiro or Destructor Kitty.
His brother Jiro is known as Ninja Kitty.
Little Boy is called The Blob at times, but he is on a diet so hopefully he won't get called that for much longer.

The rest of them all get called Boo, because I don't always have time to call out their individual names.

What nicknames do your cats have?

 

[Mia6]

Callie is, Cal, Big Cal, Girl, Girlie-girl, love, sweetie, darling, and many more

 

[Mia6]

Little Boy is called The Blob at times,

ha!!!!!

 

[gilmargl]

Meine Katzendamen (Emily, Mogy, Katy und Meghan) are all called Girlie when I'm not sure which one is trying to wake me up, which one is under my feet or which one is dashing up and down the stairs like a madwoman!

 

[di and bob]

Little longhaired red Tommy has always been called Yammy because he is the same color as a yam. He also has the second nickname of 'chicken monster', because of his constant begging at the fridge for a bite of shredded chicken. For three years now! One chicken a week means 52 chickens a year! He gets his regular food too. Dutch is really a nickname that became my second boy's name. He was SO sick when he was a kitten and a stray, he had a HUGE black mustache that my husband said looked just like those pictures of early dutch men. It was from bacteria developing on his constantly running nose. He was skin and bones and stopped eating completely. my husband finally caught him because he was too weak to run. He cleaned his packed nose and forced some water and OTC Kitten Rescue Medicine we had on hand. He started eating and survived. He, his brother Yammy, and his mother were all neutered/spayed and are our remaining cats now. Strictly inside cats now since a diagnosis of leukemia 16 months ago. They are all fat and sassy and so far, so good!

 

[Katie M]

Charlie-Kitten, Charlie Kitten
Selene-Sweet Selene, Sleepy Selene, Silly Selene, Little Girl

 

[Lari]

Sparkle is nearly always called Farfle (I believe niece and or nephew had trouble saying Sparkle, so that's how it happened).

Lelia has a ton! Leelees a lot, pretty girl, baby girl, weirdo... I'm sure there's more, but those are most often.

 

[artiemom]

OMGosh.. I have so many nicknames for Geoffrey, I cannot remember them all..
Geoffrey, Jeffy, Bobo, Sweetie Pie, Little Boy, Hunny Bunny, Bad Boy, Good Boy... Fresh...
Little Man....and probably more, that I am forgetting...

 

[NY cat man]

None that are repeatable in polite company.

 

[susanm9006]

Willow doesn’t have many but she does get called Miss Pretty or Pretty Girl fairly often.

 

[rubysmama]

I have tons of nicknames for Ruby.
Rubes, Ruby-baby, Ruby-cakes, Ruby-crumble, Ruby-kins, Baby Girl, Mommy's Baby, Mommy's Girl, Lovebug, HoneyBun, Sugar Plum, etc.

 

[allmykitties]

Cosette, of course, gets called Cosy quite often.
Domino sometimes gets called Dommy.
TV is "teeny, tiny, little Miss TV" or sometimes just "Little Miss" (she may have been the runt of her litter, the kittens Jemmy and Leo are already bigger than she is, and Domino, a 14 pounder, is presumed to be her littermate).

Circe and Autumn don't really have nicknames, although sometimes we call Autumn "Camo Cat" for her extraordinary ability to blend (she's calico). Leo doesn't really give itself to nicknames, and Jemmy already feels like a nickname.

 

[neely]

Sparkle is nearly always called Farfle

I didn't read this carefully enough and thought you said Fartie.

Carleton has different nicknames depending on what he's doing at the moment, e.g. when he's asleep and looking adorable it's Precious Baby Boy but when he's up to mischief or playful it's Monkey.

 

[Moz]

They have many, and very few make sense:

Indy: Indite, Indio, Dana (her shelter name), Day, Daney, Daney Waney, Daners, Danite, Windy (from when she farted a lot as a kitten)

Tango: T, TT, Teeters, Pep, Peppy, Peppy Weppy, Pepite, Pepita, Pepito, Pepperoni, Fiona (her shelter name), and one I don't know how to even spell, but it's pronounced sort of like Tea-son. All the peppy names originated last spring when she had a cold. I could tell when she wasn't feeling well because she wasn't acting peppy like usual. Once she got better, I started calling her Peppy, and it snowballed from there.

Echo: Eek, Eck, Eckers, Ecky, Ecky Wecky, Eckite, Eco, Ee-cho, Genevieve (her shelter name), Gen, Genny.

 

[sivyaleah]

Goodness yes so many other names for both of our girls.

Luna Moonshadow (her registered name), we call Googie most of the time. Other names include LunaBee, BeeBee, Trouble, Boopboop, Boo, Chaos and more.

Cocoabean is usually called Beans along with The Beans, Beanie, Pretty Girl, Love Bug, Bug, Coco and Good Girl.

You can easily see the difference our two have in personality by their nicknames LOL

Mollipop - MolliPolli, Schnooker Jo, MolliStop! (with the exclamation point), Baby Girl, Babe
Tabby - TabbyBabby, GetOffTheCounter! (with the exclamation point)

[cassiopea]

Tintin is Monsieur, Plumpy or Tinny

Phryne is The Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, PhryPhry or Little Calico

Liffey is Liffey-wiffey, Lif, Pudgy Monster or the Little Irish Girl

BatBat is Missy, Little Miss, The Evil One (It's a playful nickname, having fun with it since she is a black cat!)

Bijou is Bibi, Bobcat, Beebuns or Lynxie

Morgana is Morganarama, Mini Gaga or Kiki
