Current cat - Sesame - Kittin, Kitney, Fluffy Pillock

Previous pair of cats:
Ginger - Pants, Timothy O'Farquhart Spoons
Snap - Spanners, Auntie Spangles

Before that we had Ancient Cat whose name was Rosie and was never called anything else. She was far too dignified for nicknames.

Growing up we had Katie, who was really poorly when we first got her and never shook off the name Yucky Squitters.
