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?

[RagingWhoreBag]

Sim nice but dim

[iklboo]

C-Bear & J-Man

Most commonly after falling over them for the umpteenth time they get called 'Jesus, cat!'

[DumbledoresApprentice]

Buddy, bud, catto, cat, fuzzbum.

[Effendi]

Another is Pudder.
Also known as Pud Cat, Puds, Puddy Chops, Squawk Box.
My neighbour calls her Top Snak because she's a good hunter and kills small snakes.
He doesn't speak good English so says snak instead of snake.

[tillytoodles1]

Phoebe is beeby bear.

[Minimammoth]

I also use Puds, Puddles and Puddington.

[Weezol]

I may have referred to DCat as 'Arsebiscuit' last night. In my defence I was applying a plaster to the claw injury on the sole of my foot.

[diplodocusinermine]

Pippin is also called Pip-pop. Bertie Is Flirty Bertie, Dirty Bertie, Bertram or even Flirtram Bertram..............

[MarthasGinYard]

"Cuboid"



Fantastic

[Babdoc]

Mine only answers to her real name, but gets addressed as Madam, PsychoKiller, Sweetcakes and KittenCotton - depending on whether she has just snootily refused a serving of food, conducted another mass murder of rodents and left the tails and feet on the kitchen tiles, rolled on my lap purring adorably, or chased a string of cotton madly round the house before chewing it to shreds. Usually after I’ve let go of it, but not invariably!

[Opheliablox]

Mine is Alice and gets called Alicia, Ali, Ali-cat, Ali-poo, Poo, Moomoo, Minxy and Fatty. She does acknowledge her proper name and got particularly confused during Luther

[cfmagnet]

Mine is called Fluffy Bastard. It is the only name he responds to.

[recklessruby]

Mine is Ellie and we call her nellie or nellie nellie noo noo, Nooey, Eleanor and bubba boo.
My last cat was actually called Ruby but became Rubsy , Rubber or Rubber Rubber Chubber.
My old lady who lived to 15 was named Greylight and called Grey or wai ling (she meowed a lot ) and nagged.

[Oliversmumsarmy]

We have a cat called Colin. He knows his name is Colin and when we call Colin he comes running.

Never called him anything else.

[Weezol]

BlueEyedBengal I would have to refer to Marbs as 'The Only Way Is' in that case.

Well my wee 6 month old female tortie kitten is named Minnie, hence my MN name.

I address her as her name and she answers to it, if I can’t find her I just stand in the middle of the house, which is the hall, and I call her name ‘til she comes to me, she has amazingly cute miaows for when she’s saying different things, N sometimes when I call her just to see where she is, then she gets annoyed & I swear, there’s a moaning sound in her miaow’, it’s fucking the cutest sound you’ll ever hear, it’s also pretty clever!

I’ve never known a cat like my wee beautiful Minnie, she’s so very vocal about everything and miaows to get played with, cuddled and I can tell when she wants to go through to bed because she needs me to come too, and if I have my male mate in then you wouldn’t believe how she acts, talk about green eyed monster!

When she just appears at my legs, after being ‘hid’ most of the day then it’s almost like she is saying ‘hiya’ with miaow and there’s a pleasant tone to it too.

Tortie cats are said to be special, and if I was superstitious then I’d believe she could give me good luck too...She’s my first ever cat and I’ve had her since the 2nd week in October last year, she was just 12 was so was ready to leave her mother, she sort of cried as she left the first owners arms, for mine, but literally 2 minutes after being in my house I have her a pet mouse I had just bought, and the crying immediately stopped and she was happy, she’s been happy ever since. She’s an absolute joy and I never thought I’d love a cat this much, was always more of a dog lover but 12 hour shifts out paid to that & a cat it was, best decision ever.

[MinniesMum1606]

Shit, not a pet mouse, a toy mouse! As if I’d give a kitten a live pet mouse to play with😂😂😂

[Weezol]

My tortie is also a talker - we do quite a bit of call and response and she asks to go out/come in and expresses all sorts of things with different 'words'. She reserves the heavy huffy sighs for special occasions.

[cauliflowersqueeze]

I love it!

No doubt perfectly fine upstanding citizens that we pass every day on the street looking normal and sensible... and yet at home they are Mr boodlywoodly and chunkety chunking at their pets!!

[MinniesMum1606]

I love that my wee Tortie is a talker, it means that she always alerts me to what she wants and she’s never having to just keep‘wanting’ things without me getting them for her.

She’s very affectionate and loving too, oh and jealous, when I speak on my phone then she miaows really loudly and wants all my attention, she even once jumped up and scratched my phone when I was texting, it was quite hikarious!

[OlderThanAverageforMN]

Always ARTHUR, when he is being naughty, which is quite often.

When he is being good, Micino, which is a bastardised version of the Italian for pussy cat .

[Ohjustboreoff]

My first cat was called Debbie Tamara Jayne! And that's what we called her, the full name, always!

[INeedToGetHealthy]

Real name Diamond Dallas Page. Usually named Dallas.

Although he also gets called Professor Purry-Pants, Dally, Dally-doos.....

Or Oi shitbag, get down from there!

She's got you well trained.

Many years ago friends found an abandoned ginger kitten by the bins in a tower block called Scargill House. They took him in and called him Arthur.

[MinniesMum1606]

She has got me trained @Weezol. They say dogs know that their owner is their master and cats know that they’re their owners master, so true
