They are actually called something else.

It's happened with all my cats apart from my first - the late, great Bertie.

So my current cats 'real' names are: William, ( extrovert black boy ) Dora, ( dainty princess blacky browny half Burmese) Susie, ( feisty disabled tor tie and white) and Oliver Rabbit.( gentle elderly tabby failed foster cat.

Why does this happen? What are your cats' other names?Grin

"no, DONT".

Suits him really well.

RubbishMantra · 02/04/2016 19:52

"no DON'T" also seems to suit Little Monsieur (his official nickname). He has a particular dislike for a large Yankee Candle on the upstairs mantlepeice, and it spends more time on the floor. Determined expression, paw extended, looks sideways at me to make sure I'm aware of what he's about to do, then nudges it off the mantle.

Black and white's is Senor. Because I imagine him speaking in a sinister Spanish accent.

Ours is Gerroffahtovityoubugger.

He's very nosy.

Boycat is mostly "GET DOWN" at the moment, lol. But i call him L'il Dude or Baby Bear when i'm not trying to get him off the shelving and out of my DS's wardrobe!

Girlcat is Princess or Baby Girl.

Oh my God, loads. Habibi (totally innapropriate as she was only pretending to be a sweet demure darling to get out of the rescue centre, jumped out of her carrier the second I got her home like trolololol j/k) is known as Bibi, Beebs, Miss Boss, Queen, and Madam. Zara - Zizi, Z, Al-Jazeera (don't ask), Zeera Beera, Darling, and Angel.

Dave the Cat is also known as DAVID! when he's being a pest. He's also known as Vlad. Answers to it too. Don't know why, just came out one day.

MrsBertMacklin · 02/04/2016 21:55

Audrey is only used when she's been deliberately naughty, which isn't often. Her real name is Audreybear or Bunbun, depending on the cute>

BaronessBomburst · 02/04/2016 21:56

Silke ignores her name but always responds to.......Cat. Grin

Tango (ginger fat long haired grumpy lion) is more often referred to as Patty due to his incredibly soft Patty paws which never show claws at al. Zeb (the snowshoe) is known as Mr Wu and always has been. I have no idea why Confused.

HawkEyeTheNoo · 02/04/2016 22:18

Jasmine (pure breed Siamese) is actually called "get off of my plate this is my food!!"

DraenorQueen · 02/04/2016 22:22

At the moment, Olive is known as Pissy Polly because she's taken a great liking to my bedroom floor, and as such has pissed liberally all over it :(

YesItsMeIDontCare · 02/04/2016 22:24

The Bogooster was also known as For-the-love-of-god-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-it-it-was-your-bloody-favourite-food-last-week.

Wolfiefan · 02/04/2016 22:25

We also had a Harrytheman. And a cat who answered to Sexybeast!

RubbishMantra · 02/04/2016 22:39

Fluffy, it's French Vanilla! The one with a pic of a waffle ice cream cone! It has a lid on it! Who doesn't like vanilla ffs! He has no problem with the white chocolate truffle one though. Arsehole.

Maybe he hates the French?

YesItsMeIDontCare · 02/04/2016 22:43

Posting picture of The Bogooster (aka Harlington) in the hope that others will follow suit so I can go Awwwwww a lot.

MrsSchadenfreude · 02/04/2016 23:36

DH calls DCat1 NumbNuts because he is not overly endowed with brains and can't jump (the cat not DH...). All of our sheets have a little hole in the bottom of them, where he has tried to jump onto the bed and failed, but clung on desperately.

He calls the other one Your Fucking Cat Has Shat On The Bed Again It's Not Normal WHat Are You Going To Do About It.

Vanillas not one of my favourites either. White chocolate truffle sounds awesome though.
