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?

My 3 year old burmese is called Tarquin Valentino because he was born on valentines day we call him tark

[BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack]

My gorgeous black and white kitten is called Muffin :)

[peeriebear]

My cat is called Moomin and she is an adorable wide-eyed, dove grey and white, supersoft furred creature.
She is a stone cold sociopath however; she will raid birds nests, catch butterflies out of the air, launch herself at anybody who moves and will attack the baby with impunity if not vigorously supervised. She is more surly lodger than pet.
I picked her because she had 'spirit', ie on a boiling hot day her littermates were all curled up sleeping and she was repeatedly hurling herself at her poor mum's head. Sigh.

We have mimi. She was called meko at the rescue centre but it didn't suit her and her sign at the centre said she was attention seeking so mimi suited her well
She's also called mimi-bell, mimi-cat , mimi-bonce and princess mimi of (the street we live in)

My favourite cat name was for the stray who adopted our neighbours when we were little. He was called uglymush!

[Hamnvik]

We have Tiberius, a giant main coon, also known as Grumpy or Monster face and Isabel also known as Izzywhizzy or cuddle monster.

[SaltaKatten]

My old cats who sadly passed away many years ago had fancy names like Hemingway and Pythia. Today a lovely kitten joined our family and was named Blingo by the moshi monster loving four year old. I despair =)

[XBenedict]

I have a little black cat called Jazz, suits her!

[FiftyshadesofYoni]

Bob, but she's a girl! My youngest picked the name and wouldn't have anything else so that was the end of that.

[Sl1nkyMalinki]

I have Brucie As a kitten he had an amazing swagger, very Bruce Willis! As we got to know him he's just too cute and goofy to be Bruce, hence Brucie.

[SnookyPooky]

Smokey
Flash
Simba
Snooky
Elsa
Fluffy

We also have at least the same number that are what we call refugees that don't live in, some have been named:

Nipper
Tizer
Nancy
Gummy
Marley
Teddy
Big Ginger
Tara
Ramases
Suky
Lucky Black (he went to town under my husband's minibus hence the name, used 8 lives that day)

We live in Cyprus, a lot of unwanted cats here.

[GoatsHaveStrangeEyes]

Ours is Oscar, or Ozzy as he usually gets called. He's black and white and very fluffy.

I wanted to name him Toby but it didn't suit him.

[itsnothingoriginal]

Our gorgeous new tortie kitten is Lily - know it's a common name for female cats but as soon as DH suggested it we knew it was the right name for her!

[blackbirdatglanmore]

Heathcliff and Cathy

The ginger one is called Beans. I did not name him!

[Woofers]

We have three cats. Two brothers who started life as nancy and Tilly. We got them off a crazy lady who told us they were girls and we didn't think to check for ourselves! So at the vets Tilly was a Tom, therefore tommy and nancy was renamed bobby. Canon and ball. Tommy is currently on his spring walkabout. . . . . I'm optimistic he may return. . . . We live in the country and we have asked neighbours to keeps eyes out on the roads and in sheds for him. . .

And we also have another black and white cat called Charlie. He was blackie - named by an elderly couple who had dementia and since he was black, they could remember that name. Very vocal and is the house bully. The dogs are terrified of him. Recently got bitten by a fox but he was good as gold letting us look after his war wounds.

We call them Tom cat, bob cat and Charles charleston.

I love this thread! So many great cat names. I knew there was acrufts equivalent for showing cats but I didn't realise it was such a glam affair.

[sashh]

She started out as 'mystery cat' or 'spot' as she was a stray.

She is now Marquesa Gatto Mysteriosa, hunter of legs.

But day to day she is Misty.

[MrRected]

Harold and Elizabeth (red and grey tabby NFC's)

[heronsfly]

Weasley, long haired ginger tom.

[YouveCatToBeKittenMe]

I have cats called Mewsly, Marmite and Macie (Macie grey )

I met a ginger cat called Pumpkin last week which I thought was a fab name

I used to have a cat called Purrgeot GT (Ginger Tom)

[kittensarecute]

Mischief, but we call her Missy most of the time. We did have another cat called Simba but he's sadly gone now.

[tabbycat15]

I have Sophie, she was called that when we got her. I had Dotty for 14 years she died in Nov. she was black &white & had Dots on her paws. She was called by her fosterer. We were going to change her to Jessie but she suited Dotty.

[JakeBullet]

I have had:

Grace (the most graceless cat you could ever meet) who I adopted and just kept her name.

Se sadly died aged 16.

Then I had two kittens called Spike and Drusilla (am a Buffy lover). Sadly I lost Spike when he was seven months as he was hit by a car. I still have Drusilla but these days she is more commonly called Droosie the Floosie. And last year I adopted a cat who was left behind by a neighbour when they moved out (they literally abandoned her) and she is known as Little Whiskers because of her small stature (stunted growth as she had kittens when aged six months). She is three according to neighbours son who returned to pick up mail, they didn't want her back because "we've got another cat now" .
