Do You Nickname Your Pets?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

I was just thinking of my pets past and present. I noticed how few of them were ever called by the name they were originally given.

Ziggy became Zig Meister
Caesar became Weezie.
She Who Walks Silently became Shadow.
Tinkerbelle became Tinks a Lot (slight wind problem).
Crispin became Crispy Kitty.
Mobley became Mobster.
And, poor Jagger & Meister don’t even recognize their given names. They somehow became Whitey Ford and Biddy. This I blame on my daughter; she never did embrace their original names.

Are we the only family who can’t stick to a name for our pets?

[ET Awful]

1. Quinn is often called Fuzz Butt, Althea knows herself as Princess.

So no, you aren't the only ones

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. My brother has a Fuzz Butt!!

Umm, I mean a cat called Fuss Butt...

[ET Awful]

24. Hehehe, Althea got her nickname a couple of days after I brought her

home, I was petting her and Quinn was giving me evil stares so I told him "Don't worry, you're still King Shit around here," and Althea squeaked when I said it, so I told her "Quite yer whinin', you can be Princess shit."

She's been Princess ever since

[Cuban_Liberal]

2. Oh yes!

Grover is 'Fur Face'...
Brody is 'Propeller Tail'...
Sid is 'Your Lordship'...
Merlin is 'He Who Knows and Sees All'...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. Brody must be a happy dog!

Now I'm trying to remember what cartoon it was that had a dog fly around by his 'propeller tail' when I was a kid!

[huskerlaw]

3. Oh heck yes

Riley is also known as: Roo, Ri-bear, Monster, and Monkey.

[CottonBear]

4. Us too! LOL!

Smokey = Smokers, Smokey Bokey Boy and Smoke
Cinder = Cinder Binder (?)and Fat Cat
Tabitha = Tabbers and Tabitha Rabbit
Cotton = Cotton Bear

[qnr]

5. Yes

Too many to type

[DS1]

6. Minou sometimes goes as

Rambo
Mr. Teeth
Fuckface 'o Clockwork
Buddy
Scheisskopf
Crazy
Slim
Tubby

[Lone_Star_Dem]

28. I love this one!

Fuckface 'o Clockwork! I love, love, it!

[Eurobabe]

Oh yes!

Sebastian is 'fatty bums' or more affectionately fatty B.

The Daemon was originally named Neo, but that never stuck because my youngest daughter said he was a "demon spawn," and that kind of stuck. He also is called Mew Boy, or Freak. Both cats together are known as eight-legged freaks.

When I was a kid we had a dog named Nosey, but her name morphed into Nose Ann.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. Eight-legged freaks

I like that. Sadly, in my house it would be 28-legged. It doesn't work.

[Inland]

7. Yeah

our cat Kung Pao became Chaka Meow, Barflicia, Princess Bulemia

Thumbsy became The Boy

Buttercup became The Baby, Fatso, Fatty McTutters.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. Let me guess....

Buttercup is full figured.

This is my favorite, Fatty McTutters... Too, cute.

[Inland]

73. She's a little overweight

but what can you do?

[mr_hat]

8. Oh yeah.

Grace is Poo Dog
Hope is Choochie
Toby is Ba-bias
Charlie is Doggage.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. LOL

I'm going to steal Doggage from you (the name not the dog!). I am looking into getting a new puppy and I really like that!

[davidinalameda]

9. they're all Poo kitty

of course, Poo is a nickname I used for my ex as well so it's not only for the cats

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. Does anyone ever get confused?

Sometimes when I go to call one cat in particular and I can't get their names right I just call, "Cat, you know who you are".

[auburngrad82]

10. We have one named Asta after the dog in the Thin Man movies

It's only slightly embarassing when we open the door and yell "Asshole!" really, really loud to get her to come to us.

Then there's Petey, who we call Pedro;
Porkchop, who we call Pokemon;
And Tillie who we call Baby Huey.

Crystal is just Crystal.

They have all been called much worse at one time or another.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

36. LMAO!

Oh, dear, I can just picture the neighbors faces when you are calling, "Asshole, get in here"!

[auburngrad82]

47. Yep, and we live in a pretty conservative part of the boondocks

Old people on one side and a die-hard repug on the other side. I figure they think my wife is calling me to dinner.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

48. They probably think you have a dysfunctional family!

LOL! I can hear the gossip flying.

[Fleurs du Mal]

11. Many, many names for the zoo!

[WildClarySage]

12. Jodi is alternately Jojokitty, FatMammaKitty or KittyMamma

while Libby is LibertyStreetCat,LibbyBibby or just Damncat

and Jill is KittyBaby, BabyCat or LittleMiss

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. That's how it went with the Zig Meister.

He was often called Ziggy Pop and Ziggy Wiggity, too.

[KittyWampus]

13. Felix Is Flix... Felix Feline... Felix the Helix... Flickity Flix...

His sister Trixie is Trickens... Trix.. Trixster... Pudge.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

40. I always wanted a black cat so I could name it Felix.

Of course, knowing me, I would never call it that anyway.

[jus_the_facts]

14. I named my two....Brutus and Natasha....

.....she's now baby girl and he's either son or little mister!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. That's like Jagger and Meister...

Only the vet knows thoses names, the cats sure don't!

[TlalocW]

15. Yup

My ferret, Zowie (said like Zoe), goes by

Zowie-Bear
Li'l Pooper
Tube Rat

TlalocW

[Lone_Star_Dem]

43. Mine was Willie the Weasel.

He was called the Weasel Man.

[radfringe]

16. ours all have nicknames

Dax, the airdale (almost 9 yrs old) = Daxy Maxy or Pain-in-the-butt
Sunny, the greyhound (will be 5 in Feb)- Sunny Bunny or the big boy
Kudra (19 yr old cat) -- Kood or "the grande dame"
Dutchess (16 yr old cat) -- Dutch or dutchy
Gato (4-5 yrs old cat) -- Gato-kitty or CATZILLA
Poohkah (3 yr old cat) -- pook or pooky-ooklies

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. I feel their's a story behind, CATZILLA...

[radfringe]

126. Catzilla -- aka Gato

We have a feral cat colony at work -- myself and a co-worker have been taking care of them.

About two years ago -- this cat showed up, very friendly and on the large side. At first I thought he was a "daddy" of at least some of the cats in the colony. But then I noticed he had been neutered and declawed.

The cat was very affectionate, and because of the neutering and declawing it was obvious he was no feral cat. I mentioned him to my partner, but she was sort of against bringing a "strange" cat into the house.

Well, we were forcasted to have a big snow/ice storm in a day or so. I put a sign around the cat ("will purr for food") took a picture of him and left the pic on the kitchen table. When my partner came home, she sighed and said "ok bring him home, but he's here on probation..."

That was two years ago. About a week or so after bringing him home we got him to the vet for a check-up. He weighed about 11-lbs at that time. He's now around 20lbs. Not fat, just one big cat -- when he stretches out he's 3ft from nose to end of tail. Hence the nick-name CATZILLA.

He's bonkers for catnip, and loves the laser-light toy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

128. I'm so glad I asked

That was a beautiful story.

I will have to remember the "will purr for food" part, it could come in handy.

[yellowdogintexas]

108. LOL, one of our cats is actually NAMED CatZilla..due to the

fact that he was the biggest kitten when they were all still nursing. AFter they discovered kitty kibble, Lewis jumped to the top of the food chain and became Giant Kitty. Zill is now the smallest of the three boys who remained with us! Too funny...but he gets to be Belly Mojo a lot because you can hypnotize him by rubbing his belly.

Now why do YOU have a Catzilla!

[barb162]

17. all of my cats have more than one name

for example, Boom became Pookie, Boomie, Boo, Hon-Hon, etc.

[crispini]

18. The Naming of Cats -- T.S. Eliot

The naming of cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm mad as a hatter
When I tell you a cat must have three
different names.

First of all, there's the name
that the family use daily,
Such as Victor, or Jonathan,
George or Bill Bailey--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names
if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen,
some for the dames;
Such as Plato, Admetus,
Electra, Demeter--
But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you,
a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that is peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he
keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers,
or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind,
I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quazo or Coripat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellyrum--
Names that never belong
to more than one cat.

But above and beyond
there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you will never guess;
The name
that no human research can discover--
But The Cat Himself Knows,
and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought,
of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

45. So true!

I hadn't read that in years. Thanks for posting it!

[StClone]

19. Yes in Joy or Irritation

Derby is "Fat Boy" Not fat but has a tummy.

Dutch is "Old Grump"

Dale is "Old Fool"

Cy is "Fur Ball"

[Bertha Venation]

20. Yep. My faves: Banana Claw and Mr. Knock-Shit-Off-All-My-Life.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

46. Mr. Knock-Shit-Off-All-My-Life

I have one that's trying out for that name, too!

[Bertha Venation]

56. If he doesn't get attention or food when he wants it, dammit,

shit starts flying off counters, off shelves . . . .

[Lone_Star_Dem]

66. Sounds familiar

I've actually caught mine looking right at me and swatting the blow dryer off the counter. All the while swishing his tail like, you going to pet the kitty now, or do I have to take out the straightener, too!

[Bertha Venation]

71. LOL Yep. That's the attitude.

They rule the roost.

[MotorCityMan]

21. Hell, I thought every one did

Nell's AKC name is Lurola's Polish Princess and I've called her Nell-ski since she was a pup. She is also the junior love button.

Her mother is Lurola's Forever in Mind, whose call name is Candace and she's my Candy Girl (I've been singing the New Edition song to her for years; she loves it). She is the original love button.

Then there is Lana, otherwise known as Princess Lana, the Amazing Lana Cat, or She Who Will Not Be Denied.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

50. I've known another cat named, She Who Will Not Be Denied.

Ever notice how dogs are never called that? Only those arrogant, demanding cats in our lives.

[MotorCityMan]

55. There was a comparison between cats and dogs

being sent around the internet awhile ago. Basically, how God created the dog to love man, and the cat to look down on him.

I always remember the end of it because I got a good laugh from it; "And God was pleased; and Man was happy; and Dog was happy; Cat didn't give a shit, one way or another."

[Lone_Star_Dem]

62. That pegs both of them!

I have a dog to balance the inferiority complex the cats have given me!

[City Lights]

22. Absolutely.

The late Tigger was Bunchkin, Bunchie Boy, or Sonny Bunch. RIP Bunchkin.

Kaylee is The Kritter, Kaykles, or Kritts
Alex is The Sheriff
Watson is Missah Watts, or Missah
Clio is Clio Cat, or Cliocious
Cairo is Cairomaniac, Middah Cai, or Cai
Monet is Miss Monnet
Mozart is Motzie, or Motzinni

[Lone_Star_Dem]

51. I'm sure

Tigger and the Zig Meister are romping together now. No doubt pleased of the attention we still lavish on their memories.

[City Lights]

65. Romping or raiding.

Bunchie enjoyed raiding the fridge.

You're never really dead until you're forgotten. The Zig Meister and Tigger are legends not soon forgotten.

[arcane1]

26. oh gods, don't even get me started

Gowron is like an Egyptian god, of countless names... there is no way I could even remember them all at once...

her main nickname is Mahi, though that is also the 'name' of her species, so...

[madison2000]

27. We made a family pet mean and neurotic by changing his name

The dog was named Buddy, then Butterick, then Budzik, then Budzekiel, then Zeke. He couldn't figure it out and he bit us and we had to "get rid of" him.

[TlalocW]

53. I did that when I was a kid

Except I did it by naming the dog, "Stay." He got confused hearing, "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" all the time.

TlalocW

[scarlet_owl]

30. Yes. The ferrets have collectively become the "stinkies".

[Lone_Star_Dem]

52. They are slightly odoriferous at times. :)

I still loved mine, he was a character and a half. All that personality in such a small package, it's amazing.

[AFSCME girl]

31. My oldest kitty girl, Angeline,

is Ang, Angie, the Queen, and big sister. My new kitty girl, S'more, is boo-boo girl, momma's baby girl, and morie. They both also get called poopoo butt from time to time!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

54. I think all of mine get called poo poo butts at least once a day.

Usually when I'm cleaning the litter box.

[AFSCME girl]

57. Yep!

I know that feeling!

[ronnykmarshall]

33. Sure

Cosmo - "Mo-Mo", "Moser"

Ricco - "Ricado", "Mr. Suave", "Sheriff" (he has a white patch that looks like a bandana on his chest)

[liontamer]

38. yes our collective fat lumps:

la petite coquette > cokie, cokester, cokie mcCokester,fatty
galadrial only answers to kitty

[La Lioness Priyanka]

77. we also call her ms. isis matitis

[slackmaster]

39. They all get called "Hey You" from time to time

[miss_kitty]

41. Always.

one name just isn't enough. My avatar kitty, Sammy, was also Miss Kitty, among other nicks.
Her successor, a rescue kitty I named Mr. Big was nicked by me and everyone else in the neighbourhood. Biggie, The Sumo Kitty, Cow Cat, Thanksgiving Kitty, Tiny Head, The Chairman...the list goes on.
Now Stella so far has Little Baby Puppy girl, Tiny Baby Puppy, Miss Puppy, Missy, Toto-It's only been a month.

[fluffernutter]

49. yep, my dog is "ween" or "poopster"

his real name is Guinness

[Lone_Star_Dem]

96. Poopster is good.

I have called mine The poopmachine.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

58. le petite coquette is often known as coxter by baxter baby

[arcane1]

63. and they are all fat lumps

[WMliberal]

59. Elsie has become Mrs. Fat.

James is now Dog when he's inside, Chinchilla when he's outside.
George is just George.

[noonwitch]

60. Miranda became psycho-kitty at some point.

I call my dog her name for the most part, Katie. Or, Katie Sweetheart, because she really is a sweet dog.

Miranda also is my "tiny, pretty, psycho-kitty", or "the lunatic". I love my little cat, but she is crazy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

74. I used to call my twin Siamese

The Psycho Twins when they were kittens.

[Cobalt Violet]

61. Freckles is...

Gutt Buster, Butt Guster, Freckster Bitster, Frecky, Freckenstein, Frecklator, Frankenfreckler, Fat Cat, Kitzy

82. That is the most laid back cat I've ever seen!

[Cobalt Violet]

64. Jack is...

Jack Bitsy, Bubba Do, Kitzy, Jack the Cat,

[ProfessorGAC]

67. Lots Of 'Em

Our cat Clarisse answers to Claire, Booble and Doodle. The dog answers to Thug, Ugly Boy, and Beanie. (His name is Barney, hence Beanie.) The other cat answers to Pumpkus (she's pumpkin orange) and Opie. (Her name is Josephine, so she answers to Jo.)

There are other names they have as nicknames, that they respond to and are aware it means them, but they're not fit to print.
The Professor

[Lone_Star_Dem]

83. Seem that the not fit to print ones are somewhat common.

I've a few of those for mine, also.

[Modem Butterfly]

68. Absolutely

Szechuan became Szechie

Tsing Tao became Tsingy or Dingy

Wei-Cheng became Wei Wei (or just Wei)

Hotai became Ho

And all along we've had an additional, invisible dog called "No no bad puppy!" Our other dogs have always wondered where "No no bad puppy!" hang out, since they've never seen him. We sure do call his name a lot though!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

86. We have the same invisible puppy!

My puppy can't figure out why this other do is so naughty.

[Bok_Tukalo]

69. Is "shit machine" a nickname or merely accurate nomenclature?

<eom>

[Butterflies]

70. Yes, I tend to put "baby" after their names

after all, they are all my babies.

[Rhiannon12866]

72. I just shorten them

And they seem to understand.

[Ladyhawk]

75. Of course.

Gabby has become "Gabby the Velociraptor," "Gab," "Gabs," "Gab-Wab," "Gabblety-Wabblety," "Gabbles," "The Gab-meister," "His Royal Greenness," "birdy-wordy," "wordy-birdy," "bir" and many more I can't even think of right now. When you've had a pet for seventeen years...well.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

91. What a beauty!

Is that a Double Yellow? My mother has a Yellow Naped. It's so intelligent it's scary.

[Ladyhawk]

114. Yep, he's a double yellowhead. And yes! They're scary intelligent! nt

[CO Liberal]

76. Yes, We Do

Peanut (our older dog) is "Nut-Nut", or "Peanut, the Wonder Dog".

Pearl (our younger dog) is "Pealie Girl".

Della (out cat) is "Miss Della", "Nurse Della", or "Stinkypuss".

[Lone_Star_Dem]

92. I always called my MIL's dog Peanut

Nutter Butter, after the cookies she and I ate to excess.

[Tikki]

78. Tikki was born Tikki Marie...

...and we got her the same day that Princess Diana died...so we named her...Tikki Marie Diana...and then our adult son moved back home...and he started calling her Sulu...
so Tikki's name is:

Tikki Marie Diana Sulu _______.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

93. What a mouthful!

Tikki Marie Diana Sulu, come get your dinner... I bet you're winded by the time you get all of that out.

[eoberhauser]

Our cat's name is Holden (as in Caufield) His nicknames are as follows:

Holdinski
Holdentamos
Holdentia
Holdent
Holdenskrama
Texas Holden
Buddy Boy
Ham Sandwich

These require add'l physical activity:

Sphinx (he lays like a sphinx with his paws outstretched)
Pushover (as you push him over)
Little Lamb (as you push his ears down he looks like a lamb)
Little Alien (as you push his face skin back he looks like an alien)


He's such a damn cutie!

Erin

[Lone_Star_Dem]

94. Ham Sandwich?

I got all the rest but was lost on that one.

[nytemare]

80. My old cat, Luna was called "little f%&ker" more often

I should have just changed her name to Little F--ker. She ran in front of me one time, made me trip on my phone cord and break my ankle. Then one time I came home from work and found her licking my George Forman grill. I would clean the grill when I was done cooking, and wipe it off before cooking. That made me wonder, though, how much of my fish and chicken had cat spit on it.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

98. We all know what else she had been licking....

Let's just hope not right before licking your grill.

[nytemare]

105. Yuck! LOL!

I was so grossed out when I saw her doing that!

[MisterP]

84. my old dachshund Dudley was nicknamed Bubba

he answered to both, especially if food was involved.. damn I loved that dog.. he went to the rainbow bridge three years ago, age 15. cutest damn dachshund ever

[Lone_Star_Dem]

101. Dachshunds are darling

15 was pretty darn old for a dog. It shows you loved him and took good care of him.

[Solly Mack]

85. "Shit-leg"

He answers

[Lone_Star_Dem]

103. LMAO!

That's the best so far I do believe!

[shanti]

87. i call my cat 'pretty'

or 'pretty girl', 'mean girl' or 'girly girl'...depending on her mood.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

110. It's pretty easy to guess which mood goes to which name.

[Schema Thing]

88. Maggie stayed Maggie even we we finally noticed she was a he

And I can't really tell you his nickname, because that would be revealing my last name to the world, along with what sounds like (but isn't) a homophobic put down.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

111. Maggies a nice well rounded name.

And, so long as Maggies not complaining there's no problems there.

[Philly Buster]

115. I had a "temporary" cat

so I just called her Kitten until I could find a permanent home for her. Seventeen years later Kitten (never named) was buried in the back yard.

Now I have 2 cats; Buddy, aka Mr Buddy or Buddalicious and Tiger aka Missy or Punkin.

[Darth_Kitten]

89. Divebomb

Murphee (my Tiel) became Divebomb, Murph the Smurf, Fajita.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

112. Murph the Smurf sounds like something I would come up with.

No doubt it's now locked away in some recess of my brain waiting for it's chance to reappear on an animal named Murphy.

[skygazer]

90. All the time!

Dixie became Doodles (from Dixie Doodles)
Shadow became Taddy or Tadley or Tadster or just Tad
Jake became Him (because I'd say "Oh, Him likes that" when I scritched him and Him liked that!)
Zena became Ner (because I'd call her Zeener and then shortened it)
Kenya became Ralph (because she barfed a lot as a puppy)
And Oops, our present cat, is often called McGillicuddy

[gollygee]

95. Her nickname is "Kitty"

Her real name is Claudia

[Ekirh]

97. Only Pet I ever....

gave a nickname to was my Grandma's Shar Pei (Also my unofficial roomate) Bear... he's the "Communist Dog" He got that name because My Grandma jokingly wanted to put a Bush/Cheney Sweater on him.. and I informed her he was a communist, and therefore he wouldn't approve of it, about this time he got up and smacked my grandma in the shin.... to which my Grandma scoffed "good for nothing Communist".. so hence he's the Commie Dog.

[fleabert]

99. fleabert is one of them

flea goes by many names

pulga
pulgita
boo
feya
gordita
flea-nerd
fatty
boo-bear
feeeeeee

and combinations of each of the together, like pulgita feya. (ugly flea in spanish) we are evil.

btw-don't get the idea that this little dog doesn't rule this house, she does, she may rule the world someday.

[Joe Chi Minh]

100. We used to have

a fabulous young Siamese cat we called "Ponker". But whenever I spoke about him he was "Shadbolt" or, in full, "Shadbolt, the Flying Picket" ; that would be when I was talking to myself. Soliloquising would be dignifying my burblings a little too much.

I don't know if you have the term, "flying picket", in the US, but here, among all right-thinking people, it is a designation of immense prestige, as they picketed workplaces far and wide, during industrial disputes. La Thatcher outlawed them.

My wife's family had a number of cats: a local Mull cat, B&W (B and Trouble you); a Leither, Theo (TeoWeo - had a sister, Clootie Dumpling or Clootie); Rusty (Missy Rusty); another local cat, Orlando (Orlie Boo).

[cags]

102. Jack Frost (White German Shepherd) I always call him Donkey

[yellowdogintexas]

104. Clark ( a jet black cat) ;often referred to as "the Blonde", due to

his innate denseness. AKA "Slick" due to his shiny black coat, resembling an oil slick, and his black suit, bearing resemblance to an agent in "Men In Black"


Lewis is often called "Goor", a term developed by my daughter. It morphed out of her habit of calling him "Gorgeous".He is also called :
Wideload, Fat Butt, Lard Butt, cahuna kitty

CatZilla is called Zilly, Zils, and Belly Mojo.

Collectively Lewis and Zilla are called "The Goofersons" and the Greys, as they are both grey cats.

Collectively, Lewis and Clark are called the Doofi

Thomas is often called Tommy Six Toes, Sir Thomas, tomasso,

Scamp,our late lamented old lady cat, was often called Scamperella,
Queen Bitch of the Universe, Boss cat, the Evil One

Atlas, another dearly departed cat, was alternately known as
The Big A, or just "A"

[slutticus]

106. LOL! My cats have AT LEAST 4 nicknames each.

By the time the names evolve to their final state, they are unrecognizable!

[spooked]

107. YES! "Big Belly Boy"

LOL

[TheCentepedeShoes]

109. Doodle Dog (he's a standard poodle)

Mr. Muddy Paws for when he's been playing in the backyard after a rain. Fur Face for when he's overdue for the groomer. Poodle Butt for when he gained weight which he's since lost. But he'll always be Puppy.

[livinginphotographs]

124. My mom calls her dog "Doodle Dog."

He's a golden retriever mix named Casey. I have no idea where she got that name though.

[tonekat]

113. And the title gets passed on...

Alexander, a.k.a. Alley Cat, our 18 yr old, passed in December, so his title of "Le Gran Fromage" was inherited by Jello (Biafra), our 8 yr old. Both guys were/are solid black with a small white patch on their chest.

Saturday, Tinkerbelle, a 6 mo old tortoiseshell kitten joined our family to keep Jello company, and now has the title formerly held by Jello of "Le Petit Mew".

[achtung_circus]

116. A sampling

Scout= Scoutabout= Scuttlebuddy
Lucy= Lucille= Loose Wheel
Frankie= Frankenstein= Fronkensteen
Heidi= Jeckyll and Heidi= The Antichrist

[driver8]

117. Cody became...

Our dog's name is Cody. We got him when he was five and he always liked to be close to you and getting pet. We started calling him "love bug" which eventually became "Buggles" and "Buggies" and "Bugs".

[demgurl]

118. My dog's name is Mischief......

We call her 'Miss' for short. She comes for either.

[jayde]

119. Lots of names

Two cats here.

My parents cat, Myriel, is called Psycho since she's psychotic.
Mine, named Runt, is nicknamed Snuggles, Lap Cat, or Tubby. (Note: He's anything but a runt.)

[IStriker]

120. Yes, especially if they are registered. Their names always get...

either shortened or changed to a nickname that suits them better.

125. I have a cat named Bootsy - I sometimes call him Bootzilla

because he's a very big, long, tall cat.

127. Bad

All my pets get the name "bad" added. So, I have a bad kitty, etc. Except, it is a sing-song "bad." I say things like..."baaaaad kitty, he is the baddest of the bad!" I do the same with my birds, fish, and hamsters. I am weird that way. I make little songs up and sing to them.

129. PIHOP!

Gideon is occasionally known as The PIHOP, when he is "happening on purpose" all over the place.

Huntington has become "Ting of DOOM!" and "Tickle-frequency rodent."
