Reminded that another friend has a cat named Mulva.

/Post-Festivus Seinfeld reference

I don't know if any of those (maybe Sir Lix-a-lot but I doubt it) beats out my Eek-A-Mouse. Bonus points to reggae fans.

My cats:
Spooky (nicknamed Poosa)
Safire (nicknamed Saffy)
Qiti (pronounced Kitty; recently deceased; nicknamed QQ or Q-Ball)

Dog:
Chance

Ferret:
Pixie (nicknamed Pixels)

ObscureNameHere: I always wanted a turtle just so I could name it "Hopesprings".

When someone asked "What's that?", I could say:

"Hopesprings a turtle."

*golf clap*

Juliet Catulet just passed away last month. :(

/Romeo Montemew went a couple of years ago.

tuffsnake: Sweet, my first approved link!

/Once had a cat we called just 'cat'

I once had a cat I called cat.
Sold it to a asian for $3.00/lb.
He called it kung pow.

MCStymie: Letting the little snowflakes name the cat "Pizza" or "Taco" because that's their favorite food...

My little snowflakes think your little snowflakes lack imagination.

/they named ours Toxic Waste. I had to admit, it was the best cat name I'd ever heard.

Cats (7): Sir Reginald Duke of Chutney (Reggie for short - name stolen from Disney's Robinhood), Bascal, Fidget, Furious, Zoom-Zoom, Shmoo and Boney Moroney

Dog: B'Dog (Buh Dog)

Cats from the past: Pergl, Jebus, Dinsdale, Amalie, Sinclair, Zephyr, Flower, Zig Zag, Krunk, Norben, Thurman Murman, Igor, Fancy, Clancy, Virgil, Greasy, Iggy, Chim-Chim, Hogarth, Edwina, Thomas, Jerry, Smokey. There are more, but I am drawing a blank. My Husband and I rescue cats and find them homes. The seven from above are mine - the rest are rescues I was able to find homes for.

We also have a feral cat we call Yellow Kitty.

Mine's Pixel because I am a dork. He also comes if you whistle for him, like a dog. It's awesome.

The roommates is "Baxter Von Puss Puss" because of those "Mister Barky Von Schnauzer" commercials.

We have four cats. Gumby's an orange tabby, lacking all but three teeth. Gem is a mean gray kitty (well, mean to the other cats; usually nice to us). Wrecks and Skylar are the two gray kittens of the family (Wrecks used to be Rex, but his name was changed due to his habit of wrecking everything; Skylar was named by one of my sisters).

Gumby, unfortunately, went from 17 pounds last December to 10 pounds this December. The docs can't pinpoint why the exact weight loss, but since his bloodwork has all come back normal, they're leaning towards lymphoma. The only way to be sure is to do a biopsy, but a) we're poor and can't afford it, b) it sounds painful, and we don't want to put him through it and c) he's old (somewhere between 13 and 16 at last guess). In the meantime, he's not eating right (he'll eat kitty treats, but sticks his nose up at wet food or tuna), he's missing the litterbox often when he pees, and he's getting scrawny. It breaks my heart to see my Gumby-man like this, but...what can I do?

/*sigh
//didn't mean to be a buzzkill
///this thread needs moar pictures

As a side note, the name "Peanut Wigglebottom" made me giggle.

I named my cat Pants so I could call him silly nicknames like Silly Pants, Dirty Pants. he also has many other nicknames, like Pant A. Loons

When I worked at The Wherehouse I discovered that there is a pr0n series called "Edward Penishands."

/got nuthin'

Our cat is named Jezebel, because she's a slut for men. My bearded dragons, Bushmills and Jameson, are unfortunately now deceased.

Mine was Anasthesia (Ana for short). Lost her August '07. Got a tribute tattoo to her about 2 weeks ago.

current cat = Kool Mo Dee Jungwirth
next cat = Professor Murder

ColinT: I named one of my cats Rambunctous Maniac. Can you guess why?

Had a good friend in college who named her cat Ruckus. That cat was bat-shiat crazy.

My brother named his gorgeous girlie calico cat Milenko, yep The Great Milenko. Talk about pure evil! Beautiful to look at but would claw out your eyes in a heartbeat. She now resides on a farm in West Virginia so that she can her execute her killing instincts... She may have made an appearance in the movie Wrong Turn (new window). (for those of you who have seen this movie, I know you are laughing right now)

There are some really odd pet names around here. Now I don't feel like my kittie's names are so great.

I have a siamese mix named Tonic and an Abyssinian mix named Havoc. And yes, he wreaks havoc everywhere. Even in the litter box.

The ones I named:
Frisky
Aliwishus
Asmodeous
Azrael (orange and grumpy)
Gaz
Goober

Freudian_slipknot: Whatever. We've got that beat.

Meet Mr. Fattington T. Sackworth.



The "T" doesn't stand for anything, like the S in Ulysses S Grant

Umm wrong president

Ulysses S. Grant = Ulysses Simpson Grant.

Harry S Truman = S cause both grandfathers middle initial was S and the family didn't want to piss the other off.

Not like it matters.

ObscureNameHere: I always wanted a turtle just so I could name it "Hopesprings".

When someone asked "What's that?", I could say:

"Hopesprings a turtle."



You win.

Cats: Lyra, Jack
Rabbit: Bigwig
Gerbil: Butter

Don't ask.

hammerofnight:

Oops. My bad. Knew it was one of those old dead white guys.

That doesn't' change the fact that Fattington T Sackworth is an awesome name.

No Jeremy Catsman?

My hubbie wanted to name our 65lb male brindle mutt "Hansel" (gah! flashes of Zoolander). I nixed that, then he came up with "Kona".

Now, that's a good strong name for a dog.


/Say, "Like the coffee?" and I'll cut you!
// Like the Ironman city in Hawaii

Taco The Laser Guided Cat Missile laughs at your shenanigans.



/Rest in peace, lil buddy.

Here's Moooey the cow and Trapper the reindeer.

Shirley Ujest: ...You win.


A golf clap AND a win? Wow, thanks!
I'd better go buy myself a Scratch n' Win Lotto ticket.

Aw crap, I live in Ontario...

This is Fathead. He is 11-years-old, grumpy, and will not allow you in the kitchen under any circumstances.



/seriously, look at the size of his head in proportion to his body.

Not to derail the caturness of the thread, but as long as we're discussing weird pet names, I've got a dog named Packet. Working in a nerdy environment (webhosting), that leads to alllll sorts of fun! 8*)

OnTheFence: James72: I'm guessing that half of the "unusual" dog and cat names were picked out by toddlers with parents that can't say "No. That's a stupid name. Pick something else."

Nah, everytime my 9 year old tries to name something, it's always something very uncreative like Joe or Bob or Gary.

I agree. When my son was 5 he named a beta Mr. Fish (we still worry about him. . .)

My cat's name is Boobies the Titten.

I also wrote him a theme song to the tune of "Pomp and Circumstance"

Mr. Skittles and Porch Kitty!

What's wrong with Kalamazoo?

Oh, my...Forgive my lack of clarity. I have no children, and if I did, I would never let them name the cat anything stupid.

I did, however, have neighbors who had a couple of spoiled, stupid brats, who named their cats "Pizza" and "Taco". The mom would occasionally ask us cat-related questions (we had two cats). She was also not the sharpest tool in the shed.

My cat is named Griswold, Clark W.

/got nuthin'

Wrong thread, but I've heard of EP as well. (never seen it tho)

/got a LOL out of me

I have two hand-me-down cats. One is a Maine coon named Pablo; the other is a huge orange cat named Newton. My neighbors used to have a cat that went by the name of Kittyface. Now they have a few cats: Abby, Simba, Muffs, and (depending who you ask) Blue or Neenee. Blue kicks ass, and I just refer to her as Ninja Cat since she will scale a stockade fence and hop up on the roof with no effort. While on the roof she'll meow so people notice her. (she also has the cutest chirp for a cat that I've heard)

Subby failed to differentiate between weird and retarded.

Meowmar Kaditty and Mouser Aracat

We named our cat Beatrix....Beatrix Chow Mein.

RedT: My hubbie wanted to name our 65lb male brindle mutt "Hansel" (gah! flashes of Zoolander). I nixed that, then he came up with "Kona".

Yeah every time my little bro or sister named a pet it was generic. A cat named Tom. A small dog named Bitsy.

Galactica Actual: We have a cat named Puck because he is a mischeivious little elf. We often call him other things though, which I shan't reproduce here, except for "The Puckster."

Incidentally he is small and black and also resembles a hockey or espresso puck. But it's exactly that: incidental.

We have a little rat terrier dog named 'Puck' because she was meant for the big dogs to kick around. Her main nickname is 'Puckula' for the way she bears her teeth and snarls when they are playfighting.

Cats are Mouse (calico manx), Pogo (wildcat tabby) and Mitzi (orange tabby), all female. We're thinking about keeping a black tomcat kitten we've preliminarily named 'Bear.'

/we have a zoo too .. there are more dogs
//our one year old daughter calls Puck 'kitty' because she is the same size as the cats.

Marley'sGirl: Petey4335: Marley'sGirl:

Dog's name (nick): Spunky (Slurpie) & Smokey (joe)
Cat's name (nick): Apophis (poofy), Anubis (Noobz), Osiris ('siris)

I would love another dog, but I just know that when I say I have 2 dogs and 3 cats people will look at me like I'm insane. I got two kittens from the rescue last summer. I was only getting one, but the calico looked so sad. I'm just happy to be able to give them all a home.

We already get insane looks. until a year ago, we had 4 (Hobz was 15... it was just his time)

Spunk came from HAWS.
Smokey car from someone's car (He spent his non-puppy mill part of his life living in and out of someone's car/appartment for 6 months)

Hobz was free from a furniture store
Osiris & Anubis from HAWS.
Aphophis was found on the side of a county road, trying to cross, blind from conjunctivitis and fit in the palm of my hand.

Mrs Travelers cat is named Pumpkin Pi R².

Years ago my son had a cat named Jimmy Rabbit.

Nothing odd here!!

I name all my cats "moose"

My parents have two cats from same litter named Zigfreid and Roy.

My cat's name is Goomba.
