How could I neglect to mention that Elvis is also The Lummox Cat and Big Blue Lummox?

Not my cat, but a cat i know
The cat's original name was Garfield (uncle named him), the kids decided on cookie as a nickname, my grandma refused any other name and would call him mishu (after a stray cat she loved, which she named mishu as a child). Soon everyone was calling him a different name but he would only respond to mishu, that was a year ago now his names are mishu, meesh, mishmish (peach in arabic), abu al-meesh (father of the meesh), and meesh the mishu. I personally love to call him mishmish
I dont know what mishu or meesh even mean but we all went along with it.

graycie gets called lil pest or lil brat but the names are more than earned by her actions

My grandma does a little giggle after calling him that and its adorable (:
I call that "good catting!" It's really very common with cats. IDK the reason -- I guess you'd have to ask her! -- but maybe it has to do with marking territory? (This is MINE! You can't use it!)graycie gets called lil pest or lil brat but the names are more than earned by her actions
I'd love to see and hear that!!!

i dunno but i have to think premeditated when i go to clean her poop right after she is done and then she can go into her litter box and squeeze out a lil bit more soon as i put scooper away
YUP. That's classic GOOD CATTING!
Mingo sometimes does that. I think the sound of scooping stimulates them and then causes them to use the box. Similar to a human needing to go when they hear running water. I happens to me every time I wash dishes.
So I have a new friend his name is Sylvester he uncle fester fessypoo fess fess stalker.
ConCATulations! We'd love to see pictures and know more about them both.
That's too cute,mani . Mine are usually more a variation of their names 'Ozzy wozzy' and 'zo-zo-wozo.'
My friend had one of those rare cats that could jump up and turn a door knob! (how do they learn that?) and she called him door-nob, but she had a dyslexic son who changed it to "noor-dob" ! best cat name....from long time ago.
My cat Dante knew how to open door knobs with handles (the bar kind.) In his case I think he was largely motivated by separation anxiety. My current cat lives with just me & has the run of the place..... so he has no need to open doors.
The silliest one of mine is Chubchub
I have one who's full name is Bettly Kitler.
The other is not silly at all-Oliver.
