Pet Names For Your Cat

Well, I mostly call my cats by their names or diminutives of the name or even versions of the name. I don't often have "pet" names for my cats. Now, I do have kind of "honorifics" for some of them. For example, Oliver, when he was 5 weeks old, he crawled onto my face when I had rolled onto my back just before I woke up and actually lay down, his front paws over my nose and his tummy over my mouth. Needless to say, I came awake REALLY quick! So, on the way to take the roomie to work that morning, I told her how he was laying on me, "Like a nose cozy" I described. So, that's one of his nicknames, "the Nose Cozy" we also will call him "the eating machine" because he always comes when there's food being set out, frantically eating, even if he's just eaten. Rygel also has a couple of titles, "That White-Eared Cat" and "The Cat Who Will Eat Us in Our Sleep." Now, I gave him both of those names because as a kitten he was nothing but trouble, and he was the only one of the 4 kittens with white ears. "You want to know what That White-Eared Cat did today?" I would ask the roomie when she came home from work. Well, the day he got the other name I had taken him to bed for a nap with me and when he woke up, he bit me on my thumb. I told the roomie that he'd eat us in our sleep if we didn't keep food out for him. Now, a few weeks ago I had to give Pong some anti-biotics and they smelled like bananas. So I was calling the medicine giving "banana-rama" time and Pong "banana-boy." Ping and Pong together are "The Wonder Twins." When we have a bunch of cats that come in together I tend to give them collective names. Rygel, Sirius and Orion I called "The Stellar Group." The 4 bottle babies of 07 were the "Fearsome Foursome." Tuti and Nef came together and weren't real happy to come into a house full of cats so I call them "The Grumpy Girls." Taj is actually short for Ta Shuah, Ronnie for Chevron, Tony for Antonio, Star for Shooting Star, Tuti for Tutanbast, Nef for Nefermew, Gabby for Gabrielle, Frankie for Frankenkitty, Roxy for Rockstar. I guess the only one with a pet name is Nino, and that's Spud.

We have two cats in our family, both were adopted as strays by my step-daughter before I entered the scene. Ones name is Boots (4 white paws) and the other Buttons. Boots is kind of an offish cat, doesn't really interact much with the family. Buttons on the other hand, is 20 Lbs. of imperious snobbery. She doesn't ask to be petted, brushed, fed, etc. She expects it....NOW! Her nickname to me has become 'Her Nibs', which I think fits her to a T.

I have a cat named Smokey who I call Smokeybear alot cause he is a rather big cat of normally about 22Lbs and he isn't fat he is just a BIG cat. Right now he is shaved down to the downey fur near his skin because of walking dandruff, a type of skin mite that came with the rescued kitten my husband brought home. Smokey reminds me of a big ole bear. He is a deep smokey blue gray color and is part Blue Gray Russian and Eygtian Mau. He has a deep blue color, big very green eyes and the most irritated expression I have ever seen. He hates to be held, you can only pet him when he desides, he thinks if he hides his head his entire body disappears and he talks. Yes, he talks. He says Mama now and no and can howl and growl like he is part panther. I also call him Mr. Gray for when he is in the grumpy mood and is growling and howling his head off over somethin. He doesn't bite, never has and he is 8 yrs old. Take that back he bit once. My sister-in-law's son who was 12 at the time hit him with a broom trying to shoo him into the bedroom when they were taking care of him while I was in Tennesse in a semi with my husband. A bird had gotten into our house while we were gone and they were trying to chase the bird out so they wanted Smokey in the bedroom so they could open both outside doors. Smokey wouldn't go and hid behind the sofa instead. The boy took a broom and tried to get him out of there and smokey started growling like a dog they said. Next thing he knew Smokey jumped out and charged him jumping on his hip and bit him in the butt three times and then jumped down and ran in the bedroom. They shut the door fast and got rid of the bird. The boy is still afraid of my cat and wasn't hurt but Smokey walked around for days acting like he was trying to spit a nasty taste out of his mouth. When we got home the boy told us that Mr. Gray had attitude and he wasn't going to watch him ever again. That is where he got the handle Mr. Gray from and we use it when he is showing his not so lovable side.

yeh got a 5 month ginger tom for xmas his name is tigger but sometimes i call him squeak because of the noise he makes when he wants feeding

My littlest cat is Carly. She orange and white. So cute and her fur is soft as a baby bunnies. However, she is the biggest brat. I refer to her as my little gila monster. She is also the one whom is in charge. It's her way period. If she wants attention she will force you to pay attention. She spends more time on my lap than my husbands. She really only seems to cuddle with him at night after she gets tired of my tossing and turning. She is just mischevious. Jade, a solid black kitty we often call Raspberry Jade. Most of the time she wanders around with part of her tongue sticking out. It's like she gets tired of bathing herself or one of the others and just forgets to put it away. It is hilarias. It would be hard to call her phftht Jade, lol.

Some of the pet names I call by cats are - Baby, The Prettiest One, The Big Boy, Our Fat Girl, Our Little Girl, Who's the Prettiest, and Baby Girl.

What an interesting disucssion. We sure do love our cats, don't we! I have loved cats all my life but went off them after my last beloved cat met a very sad end. Swore I'd have no more. But then about 8 months ago my daughter just landed me with her oldest cat. She'd got two kittens and Squidgee was not happy with them. She brought him over to my place and said, Mum, Squidgee is your cat now. I want him to be happy. I liked him so I didn't really mind. And now he is OUR CAT!! (My daughter's oldest son, my grandson, lives with me, so he grew up with Squidgee. Besides, Squidge had made himself at home here for some time prior to that. I notice I call him Squonk a lot. After we got him, Harri (g/s) started calling him Chunk, because he was a bit chubby :-) so I think the Squonk is like a cross between Squidgee and Chunk. He is gorgeous. Tabby with white paws. He is an "older" cat but very agile and jumps in the bathroom window no trouble. He is quite adorable. And I'm glad I got landed with him!

I have all sorts of silly strange nick names for my cat 1. (baby bear) because he's so wild and he reminds me of a small bear sometimes 2. I use to nick name one of my other cats (cookie monster) because she was so sweet, but she past away two years ago. 3. and another nick name for my most current cat, is (rabbit) for the most obvious reason he sometimes reminds me of a little rabbit. but anyway I have a lot more silly nick names were those came from.

I think a really good name for a cat is Na-La. lol a friend of mine was going to name her cat that. i love that name. i've heard it before but not much

Well, this is probably going to enfuriate some of you cat lovers, but it here it goes.... I don't own a cat, but my best friend does, and I really do like the cat. But she also drives me insane sometimes, so she gets the not so nice pet names. Such as: cat, stupid, stupid cat, little s***, etc. The cat can be sweet sometimes, but she is a pest too. So, my apologies to anyone who is offended by this! lol

Spooky is a black cat with the greenest eyes you've ever seen. I call her mama cat because The strays I've brought in she mothers as if they are her own. She washes them, guides them to the litter box, and makes them at home. It was one thing to see her doing this with a kitten but quite funny to see her do this with a puppy.

I love my cat Monica, she is so sweet. She always sleep beside me. Believe it or not, in our family we always talk to our pet like we treat them humans too. May cat was trained to switched off the light when everybody is already laying in bed. Yes she was trained like that. She never took away food in the table, she dont make poo poo inside the house. Her color is white and i always bath her twice a month. I use shampoo and conditioner so her hairs will be lovely and soft and smells good too. I called her monica coz it sounds so sweet.

I do have 1 cat pet and it is very quite.He understands whatever we say him.We all call him Shonu.Sometime i call my Boyfriend also shonu when he reacts very sweetly.bcoz my shonu is very quite and his color is black n white.

Im afraid Im guilty of calling my new kitten the things Id call my boyfriend I call him "gorgeous" and "darlin" and worst of all "mammys baby"!!(no i dont call my boyfriend "mammys baby"! haha my poor cat he probably thinks im crazy!! I just think they are terms of affection and I dont know how they came about but I just cant stop myself!!

My cat's name is Fluffdaddy. His only nickname is Fluff or Fluffy. He is acute little guy and one who i really like. I don't know what else I would call him for a nickname. My dog I tend to call more things like sweet pea or things like that. Of course I think everyone uses the monniker kitty.

My kitten is named Nala my 2 and half year old at first was unable to pronounce her name. So he nicknamed her noo-noo baby cat due to the fact that she was our new cat as we have two other adult cats. And that she is a kitten. And it has stuck she is now know as noo-noo cat.
