To think we can't call our cat "William - known as Billy"?

[AmsterOg]

the kids seem to think it's a great name... Surely Billy is fine? Apparently we are going to register him as William at the vet

Ive got a billy. Full name Billycat after the soft toys.

Jack Stanley Surname here, then Geoffrey Bruce Surname. Recently rescued and rehomed a lovely mog. Name? William, to be known as Bill

Our cat is George, mostly known as Georgous 😍 He is utterly lovely

Jealous of all these names - in one of my better parenting moments I let the kids name the rescue.

To think! I could've had 'Vera', Countess Evangelina de Cortázar (Angie for short )

My cat is called Michael (registered at the vet). He gets called Mike, Mikey, Mick and, more often than not, Shitbag/Arsehole/Bastard.

i once had a hamster called Wolfgang.

We have Luke Skywhiskers Surname, Leia Skywhiskers Surname, Nancy Fancypants Surname and Mia.

Poor Mia

My next cat is going to be called Admiral Purry Whiskerson.

Our cat was called Foo. She was determined to move in with us ,whether we liked it or not !! FOO is an anacronym of F.....off outside. !!! This was the response she got when sneaking in through the cat flap. I hasten to add that she totally won us over,even moved abroad with us for 5 years. She died last summer aged 18...and is very much missed. ! When we were living in France she was known as Madame Foo.

our hamster was Mr Fluffles Lord Of The Dark Underworld

we have a cat called Bernard (and Olaf, Spock and Bonnie)

We had a lovely cat called Billy - I miss him :(

PandasRock I know someone who has a cat called Agamemnon. Similar problems with his name at the vet. And I hear he hates having a bath.

I know a cat called Laura. That's Laura Ingalls Wilder. Their rabbit is called William Shakespeare, or Willie for short.

Cards, that's made me snort.
