  • Cat names are seriously the best. It’s a straight fact of the world. And it’s actually a cat law that if the cat distribution system grants you the gift of a murder mitten kitten, you must bestow upon them a truly spectacular and worthy name!

    My daughter found a kitten that had been thrown from a car. We thought she was dead or dying when we stopped to check. Rushed her to the emergency vet expecting they would not be able to save her. My daughter named her Squished Penny. She is a happy very much alive cat now.

      Love it. When l was an au pair in ltaly, "Va la, vien qua", a local expression amused me. They used it sort of like we use, "Are you kidding me?" or, "You must be joking". I suppose the closest would be the Americanism, "Get outta here", but, it literally meant, "Go away, come here". 😁

      Our orange menace’s working title was Dude, but eventually he got his actual name, Onni (Finnish for happiness, bliss). Nothing fazes him, he even growls back at thunder when it’s right on top, like you better back down or catch these paws. He also has weird vendetta against these grocery delivery robots, only times Ive seen him fully poofed up and growling, ready to go thru the window and fight this highly sus box on wheels. Only small kids make him hide (tbh, Id follow him if I could), everything else goes.

Since "Luna" means "moon", we named the kittens after some of the moons of Saturn: Pan, Aegir, Fenrir (Finn), Atlas, Daphne, and Titan.

      Undercover Cat is a novel by Gordon and Mildred Gordon, about a cat who assists the FBI in tracking down a pair of bank robbers.[1] It was first published in 1963 by Doubleday.
      It has been adapted to a live-action Disney film twice, as That Darn Cat! (1965) and That Darn Cat (1997).
      Two sequels were written by the Gordons: Undercover Cat Prowls Again (Doubleday, 1966) and Catnapped! The Further Adventures of Undercover Cat (Doubleday, 1974).

Dawn's grandma didn't understand and said we can call it DC for short, and it can stand for Dawn's cat, too.

    A calico orangish cat showed up at our place last year. We coaxed her into the house because she looked pregnant. She stayed in a box for several days, then started looking around the house. One morning, as she was sitting in the living room with the sun shining on her I realized she looked like a pumpkin. So I said ‘Pumpkin is your name, isn’t it’, and she meowed at me and has been meowing and yelling at us ever since. She was not pregnant just plump, and she still yells at us. Lovely cat.

While I was waiting for the ad about her to run in the paper, I kept her indoors and, getting home one night, said "Dammit, Molly, back up!" And she did! Apparently the person who had her that passed away called her Tigger but... nah, didn't fit. She was my Molly Mo McCuddles of Mrrpington.

    I had a cat named Proctor Silex. When my first husband and I moved in to our first apartment she showed up at our door and demanded to be adopted. The night we agreed we would do so, we were both tired and sitting in front of a pile of boxes, each throwing out names. Each suggestion was shot down by the other as it just didn't seem to fit. Running out of inspiration the next time it was my turn, I simply read out loud what was on the box in front of me, which happened to be a Proctor Silex small appliance box. He fell over laughing as he wasn't overly fond of cats and referred to them as "furry little automatons" a la Ambrose Bierce. It stuck. The vet's office had a great laugh over it the next day. She was Proctor for short from then on, but she got the last laugh--I got rid of him after 5 years, and she lasted for 19.

      We later learned that his original owners, who he'd abandoned after they'd moved to KY from NC, had named him Smokey, but by the time we figured that out, he'd been Blue for about 4 years, so the name stuck. But he is a very vocal cat, so when he starts with the meowing, we call him Chairman Meow. Too funny.

    And this is why Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" is still valid.
    Cat's are weird, and weird cats deserve appropriate names.
    My best boy started out with a different name, but became 'Riddick' within a week, because he could escape any prison ("slam!"), and loved the top of the 7ft bookshelf for a nap 😊
    He's no hunter, and is an indoor cat, but when we were discovering who he was, it was the perfect name! He also answers to Ridsy, because ... why not.
    I also had Spook/y, the love of my life. I found her on a busy street, a week before Christmas. She was jet black (my favourite,) maybe 4-6 wks old (still had blue eyes,) was a couple of days away from starvation, and had little contact with people - we thought the mother may have hidden the litter, and something bad had happened.
    I took her home because otherwise she would have been hit by a car. She was a tiny thing, and hid under a cabinet for the 1st 3-4 nights, and would 'spook' and ambush ankles as the passed in the middle of the night. It was a 'place holder' name, because I tried to find out if anyone was missing her, she'd gotten lost, etc.
    The name stuck though, as did, "The Boss" and "Her Majesty" 😊 _everyone_ knew her, and knew who we meant lol
    She had a rough start, and never weighed more than 3-3½ kg (6½-7¾ lbs) her whole life, and was closer to 2½ kg/5½ lbs the last 5-6 years. But she had a huge personality, and ruled over people, dogs, and other cats.
    We had 21 years together. I completely adore my Riddick, but will _always_ miss Spook.

One day my dad had written on the calendar at work “Get Squirrel shot” because he had to take the cat to the vet for his shots. A regluar customer/friend came in (this was a family owned automotive garage), looked at the calendar, and asked what it meant. Did he need to buy “squirrel shot” for a shotgun, was there a nuicance squirrel that he needed to get rid of? He laughed when my dad told him it was the cat’s name.😂

    We had "Tripod" - because she had a broken leg that healed wrong and was shorter as a result. She could use it just fine when she wanted to, but she preferred to hop around on 3 legs. Nicknamed Tripy.
    We currently have, eh... Let's just say "Whiny". She's named after a word that describes someone who is crying and whining all of the time, because... she is. If she isn't asleep, she's wailing like a banshee. Not because she's hurt, or has some kind of problem (outside of the problems in her teeny tiny head, that is), she just does, this is just her standard way of existing, screaming her lungs out. She is actually one of Tripy's children.
    We also had a "Mousey" - because when she was a tiny baby, she was the size of a mouse. We made it sound cuter than just mouse, though. Mousey is the best translation I can come up with.
    I think the best we had was "Monsieur Hood" - a frail, sickly, underweight kitten we rescued near winter who didn't have a lot of fur on him, and was always cold. We couldn't really settle on a name. My sister wanted something fancier, and wanted to name him Maximus, but I told him that this cat is currently Minimus at best, so that idea was thrown out. In the end the name "Hood" stuck because we put him in the hood of an old fur coat to keep him warm and had to carry him in that everywhere, as he refused to get out. (Poor thing liked being warm for once.) But my sis added Monsieur to his name to make it a little bit fancier anyway.

    We had a young tuxedo cat that we staff members took turns fostering at the vet clinic where I worked and my husband at the time hated cats but it was my turn to foster and I was sure that wouldn’t go well with my husband. Since no one wanted to get attached to the cat, no one named it. As such we started calling the cat, “little mister,” as in “Little mister, you’d better get off the table” or “little mister, you need to eat your food,” etc. Some way and somehow my cat-hating husband ended up liking the cat and kept asking when it was our turn to foster again. Needless to say, we kept fostering the cat until it never got returned to the clinic and stayed with us forever. He became known as “little mister” for life.

Well, I was a big fan of the "All Creatures Great and Small" book series detailing the life of a Yorkshire veterinarian and his practice. "Cedric" in his stories was a boxer dog that had gas. Bad gas. All the time. So did my cat so he got the name. The vet was amused due to also being familiar with the stories, and Cedric definitely could clear a vet exam room fast.
    P.S. Cedric's brother, an all-orange tabby, was called "Pretzel" because his tabby markings on his sides swirled into pretzel shapes.
