What is your cat called?

[BestestBrownies]

Just being nosy really and looking for inspiration

Does the name you've chosen suit him/her because of looks/personality or is it so inappropriate as to be ironic?

Also, does anyone give their pedigree cat a ridiculous moniker (a la Crufts), then a 'normal' nickname or is that just for dogs?

[Zeusrules]

Our black cat is Zeus and yes he is very much in charge! Also very like Toothless but he pre-dates the film

[basildonbond]

Our tabby was called Minnie at Battersea but when we got her we needed to rename her as our lovely old black ball of fluff who'd died a couple of months before had also been called Minnie and the dc thought it was too confusing. She ended up as Daisy because ds1 was obsessed with Thomas the tank engine at the time and wanted to call her Thomas or James ... We explained that it might be a bit odd calling a girl cat Thomas so be compromised on one of the girl engines ...

Our soon-to-be arriving arabian mau is Shuri, short for Shuriken - ds2's ninja-obsessed choice

[Karbea]

We've got...

Crumble we call her crumpy
Augusta we call her gussie
Scooby we call him skippy or skippy do, boy blue, fish face.
Willow we call her mitten (kitten mitten), monkey face/chops, willow pops or just pops.

[PipkinsPal]

Karbea - I love the name Crumble. In fact you've given me a naughty idea. My boyfriend loves apple and rhubarb crumble but he hates rats. I love rats and think I will name my next rat Crumble

[Karbea]

Arrr crumble is lovely, she's crumble colour hence the name :)

[BumpAndGrind]

On a bad day, dh favours, "you repellent quadruped......"

My old cat was called Figaro. I named him after the cat in Pinocchio when I was little because he was black and white.
My current cats are called Sally (tabby) and Lyla (Norwegian forest cat). They're named
after the only two female names that appear in Oasis songs (Oasis are my favourite band ).
My childhood cat teddy/toy is called Sassy, named after the cat from Homeward Bound because it was one of my favourite childhood films :)

[dementedma]

Current rescue cat came with his name -Ollie. Previously we have had
Angus
Tiffin
Posy - he was a boy!
Min
Mollie
and my sister's cat - Fibbonnaci

[Sunnywithshowers]

I've currently only got one cat. He's Oscar, named after a much-loved cat that went missing when I was a teen. His unofficial names include shitbag, smelly, you bastard!, boocat, the boo, his majesty, schpuffcat, my little baby...

Ex-cats - I lost a wonderful ginger tom called Jasper, and a beautiful dove grey tuxedo called Stella - Italian for star. She had tortie kittens I called Marmite and Pickle - Marmite was mostly dark brown and Pickle was a little sod. Their new mum gave them new names :)

[gobbin]

Our cats are called Ash (greyish with orange undertone), who is mother to Wicky (a torbie) and Bean (who is orange, like a baked bean).

Ash is a lazy fireside cat, Wicky is a wicked cuddly spiky attitudinal teenager and Bean is just an idiot!

[gobbin]

Over the years we've had:

Fungus (inspired by the toadstools growing in the footwell of my husbands old Chevette)
Suggs (part of Fungus backwards)
Aggie (ugly Aggie, runt of the litter who lasted years)
Ellie
Griffin (after the local pub)
Cobweb (black cat)

[lambbone]

We had Bleep and Booster, but only Bleep is still with us. We also have a beautiful black Ninja.

[Ange1972]

Male cat is Freddy and female cat is Ole (pronounced Olly but ex boyfriend was huge Man U fan when Ole Gunnar Solshar was there!).

[Puddlelane]

I really want a cat! I miss my old boy hugely!
Though 3 small DC, sigh it wouldn't work :(

Bosworth- Bozzie- Mr. bozanova-chubby chops.
He was a fat silver tabby and such a grateful sweetheart. Adapted to everything and anything.
He was happy t

[Puddlelane]

...to sit next you or on you. Would ask (tap you) if he wanted to go out or to get in your bed.
Miss his little face. 18 years old.

When I was a teen we got a kitten and he tried so hard to be regal I guess, so we called him Darling from Black Adder. It still makes me and my brother laugh that my dear old dad has to call 'Darling!' in the garden!

[chickensaladagain]

My 2 are called Dave & Pete

No idea why but seems to suit them

[sjuperyoni]

Dp brought home 2 rescue kittens this week who we named 'the red one' and 'the black one' because of their collars after 2/3 days i chose oscar and milo for them just based on their looks but oscar was very nearly an arthur.

Milo has now moved in to next doors house - he got out the backs, went in their house and wouldn't come back out! Luckily our ndn are lovely and are happy to keep him if he deigns to live there :)

[sjuperyoni]

They are very very fluffy black/brown toned babies :)

[crazydrunkevilhamster]

Jelly he is a pure grey boy & really suits his name though I haven't a clue why I called him that

RaRa A long haired Maine coon cross boy also all grey with bright yellow eyes and the longest tail I have ever seen (his nickname is skunk because he constantly has his tail stuck in the air & its really bushy)

Rosie was a very timid cat up until recently , she is also Maine coon cross so long haired and she is grey and white

RJ (short for Rosie Junior) she has the exact same colourings as her mum but on the opposite side & also grey & white

JJ (short for Jelly Junior) as he is also short haired & grey {nicknamed Jaws as he likes to sneak round with his tail pointed in the air)

Ollie is pure grey but much lighter than the rest and very podgy

I haven't a clue why all my cats are grey as it wasn't a choice

[DoingStuffForHarriet]

Our old girl is called Harriet. It was her name when we got her and suits her perfectly. She is a very pretty dainty little tabby. 17 years old but still acts like a kitten.

[CatOfTheDay]

My 13 year old kitten is Motley - she's a tortie so is sort of mottled! It suited her the minute I saw her.

2nd eldest is 7 year old Sparkle. He was a girl named Bacardi when I got him. I changed "her" name - then there were a couple of developments! He remained Sparkle though as it suits him.

3rd cat is Rosie - after the AC/DC song, and it suits her! She's a grey tortie.

4th cat is Ruby. I had her for 2 days before coming up with the right name and tried her out with a few beforehand (she was nearly Jemima but it just didn't feel right!). Then the Kaiser Chiefs song came on the TV and as I started singing along with the chorus she looked at me as if I was calling her.

DP had two cats before we met - he called them Nikki and Blackie. He says after Nikki Sixx and Blackie Lawless - but Blackie just happens to be black so the poor cat is lumbered with a boring common cat name (but is a lovely cat and carries it off well!)

Our kitten is called CC. I rescued her from the car park at work and it was short for Car park Cat. We have lengthened it to Cecilia as her full name!

They all have posh showcat names too - Hurricane Motley, Sparkle Star Krusher, Rosie Storm, Ruby Delilah, Nikki Pernod Gremlin, Cecilia Tiffany (after the 80's singer Tiffany, as she sounds like her when you pick her up!) and, ummm..........Blackie.

[hootiemcboob]

We have Voodoo, a 12 yo black tom, named by dh who was drinking Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager when inspiration struck, Cupcake, who was named by DD, who was 7 at the time, and Scout the kitten who is orange and grey and a fecking nuisance at times but is so cute I cant stay mad at her!

[kickassangel]

Ours are called

Tobias Alloysius Marmalade III

And

Oreo Fluffer McKitty II
