Cat nicknames

Prompted by another thread. I thought it might be entertaining to post nicknames we have for our cats. If you describe your cat so we can understand why you call them these names.

My dcat is a black fluffy, female, loud Maine coon (Misty).
Names: the great mistini, misty moo, clagzilla, sir clagsalot, king hairid, shouty magee.

To explain a bit she has alot of fur, so always has twigs,worms and other matter in her fur (hence clagy).

Would love to hear other cat nicknames.

Ah great idea.

Mine is a very fluffy ginger boy with a white chest. When he sits a certain way he looks like a loaf of bread from behind so he gets called loafy!
Unrealted to his looks he also gets called Emmsywoo, Wemmet, and Roger - his name is Emmett!

My cat is an ex-stray who still clearly worries about where his next meal is coming from. Watching him snarf his food is a sight to behold.

We call him the "greedy-faced digger" as his mouth opening to scoop up as much food as he can in one go makes him look like a JCB.

Here he is digesting his brekkie. Smile

Pig Face Boy.

When he meows for more food.

Aquamarine1029 · 30/09/2021 16:47

Cat 1. Real name Blondie, named by man we adopted her from. She was very obese when we took her in and my husband started calling her Fat Kitty. It stuck and she only responds to that name now. We also call her Lunchbox on occasion. She has lost loads of weight but is still our little Fat Kitty.

Cat 2. Her "real" name is Jax, but we started calling her Poofs, which at some point turned into Poops. She now only responds to Poops or Poopsie.

Cat 3. Her real name is Spencer, but we have called her Mr. Kitty for years and years, and it's the only name she knows now.

Dilbertian · 30/09/2021 17:24

MrFattyCat (his MN nickname) is known at home as NotSoFatsoCatso since he lost weight. Also Fluffball and Camo Kitty

Loving the names, cats mean so much to us it really cheers me up to read this. Is it unique to cat owners to have so many names? Or do dog owners do the same. I love my furry overlords and only whisper their nicknames, lest they hear me and plot my death 😁.

Jess. Rarely called that. Mostly: the cat, that cat, that stupid cat, puddy, puddy girl, puss cat, aren't you the best girl, and so on. She ignores all names!!!

Phoebe Aka Spikey, Madam Bitchface, Flighty, Moomah and Cowbag. She's a tiny black panther who spends her evenings looking for a way out and doesn't take kindly to being fussed over except on her own terms. We love her lots.

Toto AKA Buggerlugs, Big Boy and Dollop. He's also a black panther but huge. He's her son. Incredibly friendly and badgers people for attention. Follows me round the house during the day. We love him lots too.
