BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cats Whats the name of your Cat? (and why!)

We have 5:
Goldie - because of her color
Beowolf - son loves that story
Zeus - pure black
Mr. Whoopsiedoodle - seems like no matter where he walks something falls down.
Stella - yes we want to yell for her just like in the movie street car called desire.

got a new 'step-cat' (yard cats that make the neighborhood rounds , we catch them and vet them--shots/neuter, give them shelter in the little shed-barn, feed them--they keep the rodents out of the yard and house.) He is a big boy--a gellico(tuxedo)and he told me his name is Prince Caspian. I call him Caz. He has a twin that shows up every once in a while and I cannot tell them apart. So I call one Caz Cinco and the other Caz Seis--because I have 4 other ('inside') cats.

Our one and only cat...

...is named Nekko.

Yes. I know. It's Japanese for "cat."

It was my brother-in-law's cat, but he moved into a place that doesn't allow pets, so...we got him. It's probably best I didn't name him. I'd have picked something like "Mungojerry" or "Anubis."

Tiffany
She was left at my house by step-son and his girlfriend.They named her. I kept trying to send her home with them but to no avail. I don't like the name but have never been able to call her anything else. So now, 18 years later, she is part of the family and still Tiffany.

Whispurr

That was on her name tag when my grandson adopted her. The name is very appropriate for her because she is soft and quiet.

Pepper- My 24 year old grey tabby
Velcro- 18 year old blue and white (he's afraid of falling,
bless his heart!)
Vincent- black (named after Vincent from the game "Dirge of
Cerberus"
Wampas- Vincent's twin brother ( named from a southern
folklore about a wild cat that lives in the mountains)
Tokki- grey and white male ( Korean word for a mythical
trickster rabbit)
Sam- Tokki's son. Has kept his kitty like qualities and is
just so darn cute!

Bylen

Cleo - short for Cleopatra. She had that whole "I'm Queen" aura about her. Oh - and my mother refused Bast because (as she said) the cat already had a big enough opinion of herself, without naming her after a goddess.

Her nickname was kittenet, or angel-kitty. I miss her every day in the 7 years since she died, and my brother's cat (Tigga - because she's tiger striped. Men - no imagination in naming cats!) which I get to borrow when I go visiting does give some compensation.

I have 11 Cats. It was 12 until I lost my 15 year old last Feb - I had her from just a few days old. I had to keep her inside my shirt for warmth and fed her from bottle. Her name was Ruby Tuesday.
The remaining cats are aged 2-8 all of whom I have had since they were babies.
1. Bubba - Male (also called Babooooshka - you have to say it like that)
2. Korea - Male (because he isn't a commie like China)
3. Boodles - Male (he is like a clown and the name seem clownish: "Boodles The Clown")
4. Mama - Female (who birthed all the following cats:)
5. Stinker - Female (because she is a brat)
6. Pretty Boy - Male (he is slim and pretty)
7. Cow Kitty (aka Ugly Betty) - Female (spitting image of Ugly Betty)
8. Baseal - Female (the face of a bat and the fur of a seal)
9. Boots - Male (my favorite - he has boots duh)
10. China - Male (he is the communist cat)
11. Kumquat - Female (she was runt and very little, and it seemed to fit her then, now she is bigger than most of the other cats)

We have 2 cats.
The male's name is Word. I know.. he was our old roommate's cat and when we all moved he said we could have him. He is our orange boy and he sleeps with me every night, right up against me or on top of me. He talks to me also and I love that.
Our female cat is named Bitchy. You can guess why. I forget what the name is for her kind but she is like a calico WithOut any white. She has big green eyes and is getting nicer as she ages. She is our little fatty (just like me). In the mornings she wakes me up thinking she is getting treats. She paws at my face and meows in my face. If that doesn't work she will walk back and forth over my head until I get up.
We've had them both for about 5 years. These are the only cats I have had in my adult life. I always had a cat (or eight) when growing up, so our little family is complete now.

the multi-colored female cats with black instead of white are called Tortoise-shells or Torties. They can be bitchy, but very smart!
