What is the evolution of your cat’s nicknames?

[Catname]

When my girl was a kitten, she was very elegant, slim, and long legged from a Siamese and Bengal heritage (she’s not now as she likes her food a bit too much) so we would call her Tiptoes which became:

Tippy
Mippy
Miss Mippins
Mip Tips
Mips
Mipkins
Mippet

These are not the only names by which she is known but it’s one subset that I can identify.

How did your cat get their nickname and how did it evolve?

Something along the lines of

Mizzle
Mizz
Mizz-bizz
MB
Luvvley Boy, luvvley boy (DP doing his best 70s comedy impression there - one for us old gits)
Bizz
Bizzle
Bizzmond
Bizzmondo

And in his highest level of evolution, ultimate form?

and on the odd occasion - no idea why, we call him Mildred.

All nicknames for the same cat 🤷🏼‍♀️

the tabby one: Hurricane (pedigree name)
Hurra
Hurrabuffer
Buffer
monsieur Le Boeuf
Bouf (which he now answers to)

the ginger one, who has a slightly greater sense of his own dignity:
Megatron
Tron
and we seem to have stopped there.

Ours is formally named Wasabi
This became Sabi
Which became Sassy
Which evolved into Sasquatch
Which evolved into Squatchy

She no longer answers to or recognised Wasabi as her name

Haribo is:-

Scamp

But he only answers to Haribo and our stupid, stupid nickname for treats - yum yums.

@TemporaryCatSlave oh my gosh thank you so much! The whole Lost family was extremely excited to see that!!

Love these.
Bruno
Nono
Mr Nono

But. He is young and further progression is probable.
My children all just call him DaBaby 😁

My cat is Arfur. He has his nicknames because of the way he looks, smells (furry) and makes me feel. They are: Shinny, The Shinmeister, Mr Nimmington, Bipty Bopty man and lots of others depending on what he’s doing.

These are so cute!!!

Brandy
Bran Bran
Branfloof
Floofbran

floofie pie

that’s where we are now! She’s only 1!

Our cats’ names are Mr. Collins and Gustavo. Neither of them know this. They are actually called Bibi/Bee/Beeps, bastardised forms of “bébé”.

We have a Lola too!

Lola
