Funny pet names

In My Humble Opinion

My wife’s foster sister’s cat had a litter of kittens, two of which were missing part of a hind leg, and rather than let them go to a shelter (where we were sure they’d be euthanized) we took them. The male had a bit more of his leg than his sister and had a peculiar humping walk, so we named him Long John after the peg-legged pirate. His sister ended up being named Muffin, to keep with the bakery theme.

We also had an orange kitten who from the start was a ball of fluff, so he was named Pumpkin. He never grew out of his kitteny fluffiness, and had to be given a “lion-cut” periodically because his fur would get so matted.

I brought in the last of the neighborhood cats two years ago, after they had lived outside for about ten years. They are brother and sister who look exactly alike except she is a bit smaller. He was Buddy and she was Buddy Jr. (BJ). I decided that she needed her own name so I changed it to Rhaenys after my favorite character in House of the Dragon, which I was watching at the time. (If either of them actually knows their name, they are not letting on. I think they were just too old to grasp the concept.)
