Do you have nicknames for your pet(s)? (Of course you do.)

Jezebel, cat, F: Jez, Jezzie, Small Little Cat, Black and White Cat, Lemur Face, Goat Girl (she does an amazing fainting goat imitation), Sweetie Pie, Cat Cat Cat

Zebulon, cat, M: Zeb, Zebbie, Squeaky Cat (he’s got a really weird meow sometimes), Bunyip Boy (after Bertie the Bunyip, a TV puppet of my youth), Gray and White Cat, Sweetie Pie, Cat Cat Cat

My mutt (female dog; some sort of golden retriever/ rottweiler mix) was named Louise when we got her from the pound, but when she came to live with us she became Bellatrix Lestrange. We’ve always called her Bella, but for some reason I started calling her Diggle Dog, and now she’s Diggle half the time. I’m sure this profusion of names is baffling to her (as are, to be frank, most things), but since she comes when we call, or when we don’t call but make some sort of noise, or when we don’t make any noise but sort or shift in our chair… it works. :smiley:

Fezzik - cat - Male
Fez, boo, boo-boo kitty, buster, booger, fezzy, fat-boy, el gato diablo, fuzzy butt, stink butt, “my evil son”, shithead,

Galadriel - rottweiler - female (I didn’t name her) - Gal, girl, fat dog, fat girl, pretty girl, stinky
(she was a 140# dog)

Cosmo - cat, M. - Cos, The Cosmonator, Captain K, Man Cat

Mrs. Katz - orange short hair cat, F. - The Minge (short for Ginger Minge)

Peanut - dachshund-female - Nutterdog, Banoot noot, and occasionally Angel Dog

That’s a good one - Jim’s cat, Max, is only a quarter Siamese, but apparently the mouthiness is a dominant trait.

My sister tells me I have to stop calling him “Fatty” and “Ugly” and “Ugly-face” because it gives him self-esteem issues. :dubious:

But what can I do? He actually weighed more than my co-worker’s 1 year old baby!

Lucy: Roocy, Lucifer, Roooocifer, Fluffybutt, Cranky Cat, Fuzzbutt
Mayme: Mimsy, Mimsypoo, Chunkybutt, Thunderbelly, Sweetie Cat
Dot: DotDot, Dippin Dot, Lemur Cat, Dotsypoo, Spazz

Bertram, male cat: Bert, Bertie, Bertie Bert, Fluffbert, Pile-'O-Fluff

Cuthbert, male cat: Cuth

Gracie - cat - female - Princess Fluffybutt, Fattie McFatterson, Gracie Face, Baby Girl, Gracie Crockett (don’t ask, I always sing her name out so it rhymes with Davey Crockett)

Mischief - cat - male - Um…he’s just Mischief actually.

Jack - cat - male - Jack Attack, Monsieur Jacques, Jack-A-Roo, Bastard (because he is one)

Frodo - cat - male (deceased :() - Frito Burrito

I dunno; if you call him names with love in your voice, I think that’s all they hear (because they don’t actually speak English).

Dog, female. Nebbie (her name is Nebula), Neb -oooo- la (nickname people at Guide Dogs had for her), puppy girl, cheese-hund, and when she is being obnoxious, muttsky, though as a Guide Dog breeder she is about as far from being a mutt as you can get this side of AKC champions.

I rescued my dog two years ago and she came to me as KC. But I call her fuzzy butt so often she responds to that as quickly or more so than she does KC.

Name of pet, type of pet, gender of pet (optional), nickname(s), other relevant/amusing details (if desired).

Mackie, Scottish Terrier (dog), female:

Mick-mack, Mackiedochees, Mackieroni, Mackadoodle, Mackintosh, MacDawg, Whacky-Mackie, Macca, Mackie-Sack, (we have dozens of “Mac”-variations on her name), Dammit*

Mackie was my daughter’s first dog, and Sophie was the one who came up with the name. It fits on a lot of levels.

*As in “stop that digging, dammit!”

Crooky, Mini Australian Shepherd, male: Crikey, Crookers, Nut-job, Crookify, Cruddy, Crummy, Crampy, Crimble (and as many other variations on the “Cr” theme that I can come up with at any given moment).

For the cats, both mine and my mom’s (since I see them all the time):

My cats:

Willow: Itty-bitty-Willow-Kitty, Kittenbutt, Willow-kitty.
Jack: Jack-cat, Jackaroni, Jackalope, Jackanape.

My Mom’s cats:
Suki: Sukiko
Maggie: Maggie-Magpie, Magaroni, Magaroni & Cheese, Maggers.
Minou: Mini-kitty.

Jack’s a boy; the rest are all girls.

I’m mostly the only one that uses nicknames, but we have two cats. They both get called Little Girl (as does my mom, so that gets confusing).

Mya: Mya-moo, Mya Nicole (I’m the only one that knows she has a middle name apparently).
Hermione: Herminors, Herwhiners (because she never shuts up), Herwajesty, Zeppers (short for zeppelin, because she’s shaped like one), ‘shut up already’, and ‘you were already fed’

I feel like I’m forgetting some
