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?

I have laughed at the final nicknames for many of your cats. We love them but they can be monsters 🤣

I have a big, beautiful chunky boy (big paws and frame plus long haired) so his nicknames are chunky, round or furry things, chicken, pumpkin, pumpkin pie, squirrel, squizzle, lion. We have just got a much more delicately built,smaller guy and I'm quite excited to see what nicknames evolve!

Flynn has never been known as or answered to Flynn in his life, even the rescue called him Flynnegan
We then called him FlynneganBeginagain on behalf of his new life.

In our defence we’ve had Flynn 3 years and Ian only 6 months. I even asked my husband on the way home from the rescue “how do you give a cute nickname to a cat called Ian?!” And thus he became IanyBeany.

Charlie was a red point Siamese 😍

He was also called -
