Since my wife brought home a half Siamese mutt of a kitten, we've had a continuing rotation of names for it. so far it's gone through:

Derf Definetely (me, but credit to T. Millar for stuttering whilst saying "definetely" once, thus the inspiration)

Dutchess (I never called it that, that was my wife there.)

Mew Mew (That's my work, perfect cat name, righ?)

Snoozers Kittles (when sleeping)

Puss Puss (ulauts over "u"s for "ooh" sound)

Poozers Kittles

Snoogles Poozers

Crazy Ass (when waking us up at 4am by attacking the bed, daily)

Miuzers

Hungrels Kittles (when eating)

Goof Ass

Stank Ass (after farting in our vecinity)

Neep Nerp

Borf Borf Borf Borf.

What should we stick to as to not give the animal a personality crisis?

Lady Peanut Butter!

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 29 March 2003 06:47 (twenty-three years ago)

The Borf one. That one's catchy.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 29 March 2003 06:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Hungrels Kittles sounds like something Gollum would say to his cat. so that.

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 29 March 2003 06:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I call my cats "kittles"

One is named Bengal and for short I call her "bengy" and "damn cowgirl"

the other is Q-Tip and I'll call him "Q-man" or "Q-tippers"

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 29 March 2003 06:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Flatulenborf.

Flatulence (farting + uh...borf.)

Its catchy in a dancing crippled clown sort of way.

Maybe you can make it a little more Russian: Flatulenborfzietzky

YOu know, geeta, I tried that, but the wife wouldn't let it fly.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Saturday, 29 March 2003 07:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Another question:

When licking it's side or arms or chest, does your cat completely wet itself down with drool, or is my cat just a slobber-ass?

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Saturday, 29 March 2003 07:51 (twenty-three years ago)

even though my kittens have a name (pixel and linus) i always end up giving them nicknames. pixellated. fuzzball mcgee. purry furry. kitten malitten etc etc etc

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Saturday, 29 March 2003 07:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Your cat's a slobber-ass.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 29 March 2003 07:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Stank-Ass, the first hip-hop kitten. Hmmm...

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 29 March 2003 14:57 (twenty-three years ago)

my cat's name is flora which is a terrible name for a cat, i chose it when i was 8 out of 'coles funny picture book', an edwardian children's book full of poems, maps, pictures of monkeys, optical illusions and most importantly lists of 'the 100 best names for your sons and daughters'. her nicknames are flossie (after teacake) and floz and boubie (i'm not sure whether i should even have mentioned that last one cos it's the most personal nickname, only ever said in that ridiculous baby talk voice).

― minna (minna), Saturday, 29 March 2003 15:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Funny, we were just discussing this this morning; we have a two-year siamese that we rescued from an animal mission and she was pretty tiny when we got her because she'd had a litter of kittens but had been abandoned for nearly a week....thus for the first little while we referred to her as "Stick". She's now fattened up quite a bit but her voice has always been very creaky, so though her real name is now Kitka, I occasionally call her Kate (for Hepburn) and Whiny. Now we're thinking we should call her Rusty, for Rusty Hinge (sometimes she sounds just like a door closing). Also maybe Krusty. hm.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Saturday, 29 March 2003 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Puddens.

― Leee (Leee), Saturday, 29 March 2003 20:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I pretty much rename my cat every day. I usually just call her whatever word first springs to mind when I feel like communicating with her.

― slutsky (slutsky), Saturday, 29 March 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh hell yeah!

COLES FUNNY PICTURE BOOK IS A MANG-NIFTY-CENT OPUS THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD BEEN EXPOSED TO IN THEIR GROWING UP!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I have started to call most animals Furry. Or furry boots. As in going into the BUSH with tough hunters: "shall we let your furries come?"

― isadora (isadora), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I think you should call it Hobbit Motherfucker.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:33 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe except for the weird racist bits mikey!

― minna (minna), Sunday, 30 March 2003 03:43 (twenty-three years ago)

but everyone should definitely be exposed to that 'whipping machine'!
oh and of course the greatest thing about that list of names is that my name is actually in it! the worst thing about my childhood was never being able to buy personalised stationary or fake mini numberplate keyrings with my name on them, cos apparently my name doesn't exist.

― minna (minna), Sunday, 30 March 2003 03:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, but the racism is redeemed by the pictures of animals dressed up as humans, riding other animals with captions like "Mr Jollywhiskers rides Ms Pollybottom to the fair to-daye".

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 30 March 2003 05:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Pusstopher.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Sunday, 30 March 2003 06:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Cooking fat

― C J (C J), Sunday, 30 March 2003 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

My David has a "Miss Ella" and "Mister Aristotle."

Their nickenames, respectively, are "Fluffy-Furball" and "Fat-Ass Kitty".

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 31 March 2003 00:49 (twenty-three years ago)

humans, riding other animals with captions like "Mr Jollywhiskers rides Ms Pollybottom to the fair to-daye".

Man, I want to see this book!

As for cat nicknames, my cat's name is a silly Brummy slang word, y(yampy) and people keep forgetting it anyway and call her everything but that... furryguts, poooosssy (pronounced like el scorcio dudes on Fast Show), miao miao, girly girl, stupid bitch (when she deliberately runs under my feet so I stand on her so she can make me fee guilty).

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 March 2003 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Oy, I rather mis-quoted Mikey's comment there, didn't I? Damn cut n paste :D

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 March 2003 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

When I had a cat (before my best friend cat-sat her and decided not to give her back), I called her kittypie

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 31 March 2003 03:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm stealing kittypie!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 15:25 (twenty-three years ago)

apparently it also helps if you (as my friend Susie did when she heard it) adopt it and sing to the cat, to the tune of o tannenbaum, thusly:

oh kittypie, oh kittypie
you'll always be my kittypie
when other have no kittypie
you'll always be my kittypie
oh kittypie oh kittypie
you'll always be my kittypie

They seem to dig it.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 31 March 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

When come back, bring kittypie.

I was going to suggest Puss Puss, so I think you should go with that one

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 March 2003 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

That's a great idea, luna.
I always make up silly little songs for my cats.

Here's one for Pepper:
Pepper Roon Toon Toons (So lovely!)
Pepper Roon Toon Toons (So lovely!)
Pepper Roon Toon Toons (So lovely!)
Ba da boom! Ba da boom! da di doo (*saxophone & drum noises*)

Here's another:
Pepper Roon Toon Toon (and a bottle of beer!)
Pepper Roon Toon toon (and a bottle of beer!), etc.
(I imagine her as a wee pirate)

And yet another:
My Pepper Roonie Toons
Professor Loony Toons
She is my sweet baboon
Professor Roon

Ok, never mind. I only make up songs for Pepper, not Lucy.
Yes, I am crazy.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

oh no! My songs killed the thread!

Please, no!

Borf is like Barf.
I like mew mew.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 15:49 (twenty-three years ago)

The best name for a kitten is Kaboodle, as in kitten Kaboodle.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 31 March 2003 16:45 (twenty-three years ago)

we had a stray cat that lived in our dorm...we called it black pussy.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 31 March 2003 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Fluffoige, Lady Fluffington, Fluffalo Springfield, Fluffalo Pants....

You get the picture.

― Tag (Tag), Monday, 31 March 2003 16:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Fluffalo Springfield is the best name evah!

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Monday, 31 March 2003 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Uncle Fluffalo?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 31 March 2003 17:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe I posted those Pepper songs. *sigh*
I'm so embarassed.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

hey, not many cats get saxophones and drums in their songs, yanno

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Yup. They're supposed to sound sorta jazzy and flapper-ish.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:10 (twenty-three years ago)

therefore, cat songs = classic

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I nearly named our cat Kaboodle, Martin.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Have said it before, will say it again -- grandparents once had dear old Thomascat. This was of course short for Wootsietootsiebenhurflurflurcecilrellaclarabellethomascat.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, did your grandparents live on cocaine and opium tea?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

They were great world travellers and who knows what they picked up along the way.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:26 (twenty-three years ago)

My dad had a cat named Colonel John Singleton Mosby the Second.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:42 (twenty-three years ago)

It must have been pretty embarassing for him to be outranked by his cat. And to have to salute it every time it walked in the room.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

The only kitten I ever owned, who showed-up on our doorstep during the '88 Olympics, I think. His name: Bela Louganis Lieukin Biondi.

Bela = that gym coach and Bela Fleck *swoon* (for the latter, not the former)
Louganis = Greg Louganis the diver
Lieukin = I think he was a Russian gymnast
Biondi = American swimmer.

And then we had to give him away, due to my mother's allergies. The family who adopted him changed his name.

To "Snowball."

Our cat is called Ossi -- his previous owners had named him "Osce" (probably because of the oscelot-like markings on his fur) but they were morons who thought that he was nasty and they threw stuff at him. However, he knew his name already, so we just changed the spelling -- there has already been one slightly uncomfortable moment in Thüringen involving his name. At any rate, he is also known as Oswaldo T. Katzman, or The Boy, depending on whether he is being good or bad.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 08:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i have a cat nickname, yo.
