What is the evolution of your cat’s nicknames?

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 just love that you have a cat called Colin 🥰

My old neighbour used to have a cat called Colin! He used to visit us all day when his owner was at work, and then sod off again when he got home. Though it was a bit baffling to come in sometimes to find him on the stairs….

Colin was also the only cat mine ever tolerated

This is Louie who is a new rescue. In a fortnight he has become Louie-Bear, Louie-Leo-Lion, Hullaballouie, Louie-Balouie, and Racket.
