I have two cats, named Septa and Patco.
I’ve always been obsessed with public transportation.
and here is my zoo to add to the collection…
Shadow (dog, chow-terrier mix looks just like the dog Shadow on the movie homeword bound)
Baby (little black and white rabbit that is in love with Shadow, followes her everywhere, grooms and sleeps with Shadow and even joins the dog for dinner, loves dog bisquets)
Courtney and Jason 2 (finches, named by my nieces, Courtney wore out Jason 1 we found the poor fellow dead one morning sitting in the nest atop a LOT of eggs)
Peanut and Mandy (nanday conures (parrots) very loud birds, love to scream, but cute too…Mandy rings her bell like a sidewalk santa and Peanut immatates sounds she hears, she does the ICQ uhhohh very well)
Willow and Koko (Quaker parrots, great birds lots of fun, they are my babys, Willow has been DNA sexed to be a boy, someone call Guinnes, “HE” lays and sits on eggs, about 15 so far this year (they are in differant cages so I know its not Koko plus we’ve seen her/him lay an egg)
Jaws (batta fish)
Monstro and Monster (placostmis (SP?) algie eaters HUGE suckers!)
1000 un-named guppies
Smokey and Tigger (farrets, lots of fun cute as can be and very hard to find, they love to burrow under covers ect…there used to be a Bandit but he died a few years ago so we got my father in law Tigger to replace him)
And if all goes right I am finialy going to go get my pet RAT I have wanted a rat for a LONG time and well what the hay…think I may name him/her Dirty…as in you Dirty Rat…what do ya think?
past animals:
Cats: Sidel, Milo, Random, Misha, Henderson, Snowy
Ferrets: Beast, Spot
Dogs: Sasha, Chelsea
Frogs: Grim and Evil
current animals:
Cats: Kaia, Ding, Claude, and Mr. Tornado Sweaty Cool Guy (guess which one my son named?)
Dog: Sparky (he has a pedigree and his official name is Golden Sparkulese of that Ilk)
Fish: Saha, Jijo, and a bunch of unnamed other fish.
OK, I’ll play…
Cats: Tequila, a gray tabby and white shorthair; Alex (short for Alexander the Great), a Persian cross black and white tuxedo cat, and Fruitcake, a brown tabby Maine Coon cross (longhair, obviously). All 12 years old.
Dogs: Katie, blue merle Border Collie/Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler cross (4 years old); Milo, Golden Retriever cross (3 years old).
Name stories: Tequila because I was in college, and when casting about for a name (he was the first), there was a bottle of tequila on the coffee table. Alex used to be Helen (for Helen of Troy because he was so beautiful); that was when I thought he was a girl kitty. Renamed to something else vaguely classical (plus he turned out to be quite large). Fruitcake came with his name; the people who owned her (ex-roommates from college) had strange ideas about pets (not confined to naming).
Katie is a Humane Society rescue; her original name was Petey (for some reason), and the Humane Society people renamed her Sweetie (she loves people). I wanted a name which would sound vaguely similar, so she wouldn’t get too confused. Her AKC registered name (for purposes of agility competition) is Katie the Wonder Dog. Milo is named after Milo Bloom, from the comic strip Bloom County (my all time favorite). His AKC registered name is Bloom County’s Milo.
I love my menagerie.

My cats: Kröti (German for “small toad”), Satan, Lucifer, Greta (as in Garbo)
I have a cat called Sparky. He’s huge and he dribbles. I hate that.
My first ever cat was called Sandy, who was joined by Ollie. When Sandy died we got Pixie. When I left home my parents got Snoopy, Dusty and Henry. Sadly, only Henry’s alive now. We like cats
I’ve also owned a terrapin called Terry, numerous fish whose names have included Goldie more than once (just call me Miss Original) and a hamster called Treacle. My brother also owned a hamster, right now I can’t remember his name, he was eaten by Ollie.
One goldfish, called Inveigle. There were three, called Deceive, Inveigle and Obfuscate, after a tagline in the X-Files, but the other two died. Now I get really odd looks from visitors to my house when they ask the fish’s name.
If I ever get a cat, it will be called Schrodinger, and I’ve always wanted a dog named Leika (after the dog the Russians sent into space). But having no garden, I make do with the fish.
Horse (Appendix Quarter Horse). Bob, aka The Wonder Pony[sup]TM[/sup]. Registered name: Whata Sweet Talker. Although I maintain that he’s not my official pet because he doesn’t live with me.
Thank you! I was just thinking to myself yesterday “Mr. Trick would be a cool name for a pet.” We’re huge Buffy fans, so I I get a real kick out of that.
OP- SOme years ago, my wife’s parents had this kitten with drain bramage, and they named him something or other. Doesn’t matter to me, because I started calling him Drater (figure it out) and that stuck for years until he either got lost in the woods of flattened somewhere.
My wife and I have a dog that she found in a shelter. He’s a Pitt Boxer mix who’s a lot of fun, and he’s as dumb as a brich. SO as not to confuse him, we kept the name he had at the shelter - Spud.
Cockatiels… Fred and Jed…

Well I have a Jack Russell Terrier named LeeLoo (named after one of my all time favorite movies 5th Element). The reason I chose that name is because of one particular scene where LeeLoo, the character from the movie, says “Big Badda Boom” Now my little doggy’s favorite thing is to jump from the top of the couch on to the most sensitive and delicate places of the male and female body. When she does this, the little 11 lbs dog can put a great deal of force/pressure on your unmentionables to the point of scrutizing pain. I am sure that if she could talk she would yell “Big Badda Boom” right before she lands. Hence her papered name is Big Badda Boom LeeLoo
We also are getting a cat soon (and yes the two get along for the most part). The cats name is **KIKI **after 1) the ferret from sluggy and 2) because of the movie America’s Sweethearts
I myself have Two pets. One ferret -Coco, Named after a family friend,
And my Cat, Maude, named after Maude of the movie “Harry and Maude”
Only one pet currently - a registered sheltie named Cherokee Blaze. (His mother’s name was Apache Blaze.) We call him Blaze. He’s beautiful, and knows it.
Past pets:
A cat named Squirt. He was the runt of the litter of a stray I promised my Mom we’d only keep ONE NIGHT. She had the litter that night! Woo-hoo! I called him Squirt because he was the runt, and because he peed on me one time when I picked him up. He grew into a HUGE tomcat.
A sheltie/poodle mix named Dinky.
A mutt named Casper, because he was white.
A beagle named Sam.
A nervous nelly little German Shepherd named Tiffany.
A schnauzer named Scnapps.
A mutt named Bucky.
My cat was named Mikki by the North Shore Animal League. I felt bad for her and kept the name, but not the spelling. She is now Micky Mona McLeod (that is not my last name, I just like it with Micky Mona) or Micky Mona Princess Girl or Girliandros. All the pets in our family have first and middle names. The middle names are assigned by me, although my brother, the cat man of the Adirondacks, has not played along. So, my dad has a dog Sandra Marie (aka Sandy), one sister has a cat Jade Anne and the other sister has Begera Jo and Tigger Martin. Because of Tigger Martin, my dad thinks the well-known golfer is Tiger Martin.
Childhood: Pooky - a cocker/collie mix who had distemper as a puppy … don’t think his brain ever quite recovered, as he loved to chew on rocks.
Current pet: Spooner Grace – german shepherd & “something fuzzy” (probably golden retriever). Spooner from a Jimmy Buffet song “Death of an Unpopular Poet” & Grace because otherwise she’d have none at all.
When I was a small child, I had a hermit crab named Mike. He smelled funny, then he died 
When my then quasi-live-in boyfriend came back from Italy in the summer of 1994, he decided he wanted a guinea pig. We went to the pet store and picked one out. We named her “Polpetta” (Italian for “meatball”) because curled up, she looked just like that.
A couple of months later, we decided Polpetta needed a friend. This new guinea pig had wild hair, and this being around the time The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert came out (so to speak 
), we named her Priscilla.
I got them in the divorce. I got guinea pig support payments from the ex for a while, then he stopped paying for their upkeep. So he was a deadbeat guinea pig dad. 
Polpetta died in April of 1998; Priscilla in December of 2000.
My best friend has a black lop-eared bunny he named Luther Viola [last name], even though bunny’s a girl. I just call her Bunny or Bun-Bun. She’ll be coming to live with me again this weekend.
Please, oh please, Bunny, don’t start chewing again. You’re supposed to have outgrown that!
