Who calls their cats by their actual names?

[HelmutFrontbut]

I've recently taken to calling mine by their gangsta names:

Woody is D-Wood
Tabitha is B-Tab
Rosie is C-Rose

I need to get out more don't I?

[WiseUpJanetWeiss]

Furry, Fishface, Pest, Trip Hazard, Sausage, Small or Catfeatures, depending on circumstances.

When DH hears about Yowly Bastard, though, that’s going to be the favourite.

[CantWaitToRetire]

Her name is Pixie but gets called Pippi, Pippi, Poopsi, Poopsi-cat....anything but Pixie really 😁😸

[Bluelonerose]

One cat is nicknamed gg fluffs or sir fluffington.
The other is nicknamed queen puss or queen Elsa.

They both get called the bastards that are trying to kill me by tripping me up

[MitziK]

Of course I do.

How else would they know that I've heard them jump up onto the countertop to steal some food, are currently attempting to rummage through the bin for snacks or one furry twat is acting all big balls at the other with the intention of stealing their sleeping spot?

Saves me actually getting up and dealing with them.

Cat logic:

'They're using my 'real name' = Abandon mission and stroll into the living room pretending that absolutely nothing has happened'

[SeaViewBliss]

Mine is called Emmett. Mostly gets called

Puppy
Emsy Woo
Roger or
Move! (DH)

[MotorcycleMayhem]

The cat is better trained than the dog. She at least comes when she's called. The dog does not.

Stella aka StellaRella, Menace, Asshole, FFS, Princess, Baby, Sweetie, My Love, StellaTron, Knobber, Tit.

[RandomMess]

Hmmm mine cat called by their names with "bastard cat" thrown in regularly...

Mine are whistle trained, best thing I ever did!

The dog has about 5 nicknames in regular use though

[sideorderofchips]

My boy is called sooty but lovingly nicknamed Twatcat

Generally because he can be a bit of a twat.

[babycakes1010]

My cat is Tinkerbell...but is mostly called tinks or Bella

[neversleepagain]

Atticus is referred to as Atti, Batti cat, Atti Batti, Batticus, Catticus, Pussicus, Woosiecus...you get the drift.

[WuzzAndBuddy]

We have a lab called Ginny... her full name is Ginny Jones the Woofmaker (hello to anyone who now knows who I am!). She's often known as Jonesy but at the moment she's only answering to Genevieve as she's going through a French phase.

[WuzzAndBuddy]

(I wanted a cat but was outvoted)

[Autumnchill]

Nell is Nellbertinie or Stoner as she always looks stoned and Fisher is Fishermaroo, can't explain why!

[fluffypudcats]

He is now (dis)honourably known as McShitty Bum-Bum. I'll leave you to fill in the gaps. She's too much of a princess to dare call her anything but her full name

[Howhot]

Kitten or kitkat here

[Gattara]

Roomarmoset - 2 very contented looking furbabies you have there!

[jadeyfly]

I have a titchy- boo (titch a 9 year old rag doll) and a mia-moo (mia a 1 year old tabby)

[jadeyfly]

But the past few days Mia-moo has been called flirt 😂 she's in heat

[FatandSassy]

Poppet is Flops or Floppet or Gremlin or Grebbles or Scratcat or Scratbag

Patch is Patchinal or The Queen

Pig is Pig.

Sid is Tiger or Mr Moustache

Jeremy is Jezza

They are all handsome, gorgeous boy/girls, floofy, fluffers, pussycats, fluffballs.

[FatandSassy]

Patchimal NOT Patchinal

[GrumpyOldMare]

Jinx is Jinx
Tara is Tara

No other names.

[ffiffi8]

Luna is -

Tigressa
Gorgeous girly
Baby girl.....

[GetOffTheTableMabel]

Maud gets called Maudie Chops or Flollop Dollop Meringue Chops.
Mabel gets called Mabel Pie or Get Off The Table Mabel.

They also get called Good Cat and Bad Cat. And Mabel is the well behaved one.

[Vinorosso74]

Erm I call ours an assortment of names:- Baby Boy (when he's being cute), Noisy Boy (when he's meowing for food) or Little Bugger (when he goes walkies, attacks my feet, tries to get DD's Lego, actually doing anything he shouldn't).

[Weezol]

Cat logic:

'They're using my 'real name' = Abandon mission and stroll into the living room pretending that absolutely nothing has happened'

Same here. Otherwise she is subjected to: Kittenycat, Little Face, Furry Person. Also lengthy discussions in which I try to convince her that I'm not as stupid as she thinks I am.
