Ahhh! The late Rosebud Fluffhead Fuzzybutt…
real name Loki
day to day nicknames Slut Kitty, Bat-flaps
I feel like an idiot for misspelling "baptismal’ earlier. Sigh.
Is anyone else alarmed by the number of cats who apparently respond to variations of “Poop”?
I don;t have a cat of my own at present, but the neighbours cat seems to like me. So do a few strays in the neighbourhood (the fact that i feed them salmon and tuna might have something to do with it 
)
the neighbours cat is called Sparky, a very unfortunate name, as he’s neutered…I call him Poes
one of the strays, a tiny black little cat i think i helped survive the winter (he’s soooo skinny!) I call Scrawny Black Little Thing.
and the 3rd cat coming into my garden, is a cat from accross the street, an old Tomcat, neutered and very heavy, so I call him Fatso Socks (he’s black with white socks).

Try to pronounce these in Dutch… that should be easy because the intonation is the same as in all other posts…

God, we catlovers are the same the world all over, aren’t we?
Elfje, do you have Dutch roots in any way?

Does anyone else feel disturbed to realise so many of us are so cat-crazy?
**Real name:**Bailey

Having lived in very close proximity to this particular Kitty (he allowed me to share his space) I must disagree. Nearly as I can tell, Loki didn’t have a nickname so much as a nickname-generating-algorithm.
2 to 3 words
1st word to begin with M, L, or B.
2nd letter is always O.
2nd word often repeats the first.
3rd is a description of what he is: cat, kitty, mouser.
Ok, I guess it’s really a heuristic, not an algorithm.
Results: Bodie-Bo, Mo-Mokins, Momo Kitty (designed ferrari accessories for a while, I guess), Bodie-cat. Moser Kitty. Or as I often called him when I got stuck in finer workings of the heuristic… Modie mo mo bo bodie bo bokins-a-mousinator.
no, not really, cats are pretty cool. It’s the only domesticated animal that humans don’t have a master/servant relationship with. They have great personalities (ofcourse that’s true for a lot of animals, I’m sure).
I wonder what would happen if you’d start the same thread about dogs…there’re a lot more doglovers out there than cat lovers, I’d say.
I typically call my cat by his name, Irrelevant. Though when I refer to him, he becomes my pussy. Must stroke my pussy yes. Pet the pussy. My pussy appreciates it. It works well getting dates too. “Hey, wanna come over and pet my pussy.” Stupid boys fall for anything. LOL
My cat is tri-lingual!
He ignores me fluently in English and Greek, yet is perfectly attentive in Fridge.
Real name - Kalimari - although I hardly ever use it
Day-to-day ‘hey you’. Yep, just that. I live alone.
Positive Honorific Moro moo (Greek for baby)
Negative Honorific Dingbat.
I do not recommend visiting my other current cat thread (TMI), so I’ll cut and paste instead:

**Real Name / Day to Day: ** Rimsky

Cat #2
Real Name: cricket (she sounds exactly like the insect)
Negative Honorofic: Herpeticat (she’s got herpes - don’t ask)
Endearment: dumb, but cute
General: Baby
And together they are… Herpeticat and her trusty sidekick The Urinator. Both occaisionally gross, but always friendly.
We have four cats. Let’s see if I can do them justice:
Real Name: San Francisco.
Day-to-Day Nickname: Frisco.
Positive Honorific: Happy Cat.
Negative Honorific: Grumpy Cat.
Endearment: Friskerwhisker.
General Term: Pink Pads.
Theme Song: “Frisco, the Happy Cat, the happiest cat you know…” (Like the Casper the Ghost theme song.)
Real Name: Denver.
Day-to-Day Nickname: Denny. This nickname also covers him for positive and negative honorifics, and works as an endearment.
General Term: Ink Pads.
Theme Song: “Denver! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-Denver!” (The Batman theme song.)
Real Name: Annie.
Day-to-Day Nickname: Annie. (What can you do with “Annie” anyway? It’s positive and negative and everything else.)
Endearment: Anniekitty.
General Term: Ju-jubes or Purple Pads.
Theme Song: “Little Annie Kitty, born outside a city, started mewing when she was five/Never knew her father; Mother never bothered/To catch his last name fast as he came…” (To the tune of “Little Eddie Mitty” from The Phantom of the Paradise movie.)
Real Name: Shiloh
Day-to-Day Nickname: Shiloh. (Same problem as Annie and Denver–“Shiloh” covers everything positive and negative.)
Endearment: Shilohkitty, or occasionally, Itty-Bitty-Kitty.
General Term: Bow Tie. (She has a white patch on the front of her neck; we call it her bow tie.)
Theme Song: Neil Diamond’s “Shiloh,” although her name came from the road upon which was the farm where she was born. Diamond’s song had nothing to do with it, although it did supply our cat with a theme song we’ve used a number of times.
I’m glad to see that other cats have theme songs too. Good to know that ours aren’t unusual (or that their owners are that strange, either. Well, rereading this, maybe the owners of San Francisco, Denver, Annie, and Shiloh are just a little bit strange. :))
Real Name: Maggie
Day-to-day Nickname: Mags/Mee
Positive Honorific: meekee
Negative Honorific: fatass/dork/stupid/hairball
Endearment: Shnoogies/shnuggles
Generic term: Fatcat
Explitive Most Used in Proximity of Cat: DAMN FUZZYASSED CAT!
She’s a huge maine coon/tabby mix. Waking up with 20 lbs of cat on your chest tends to be less than fun.
Cat #1:
Real name: Tasha Madeline
Day-to-day nickname: Tash
Positive honorific: Queen Bitch Kitty
Negative honorific: Queen Bitch Kitty
Endearments: Tasha-basha, Bosh, Kittyface, Mommy’s girl
Generic term: Poofy tummy cat
Particular weirdnesses: Must sleep in contact with my body, preferably ON my body. Will speak on command.
Cat #2:
Real name: Tabby Toupee, a/k/a T-Top
Day-to-day nickname: Tee
Positive honorific: The Clown Prince
Negative honorific: You Little Shit!
Endearments: Puppy Boy, Teekitty
Generic term: Prettykittyboy, Beanie Boy (see below)
Particular weirdnesses: lies on the floor with front and back paws extended, totally flat, looking for all the world like Superman in flight. Sometimes tucks his front paws under him, which makes him look like a chicken in roasting pan. Will also lie BeanieBaby fashion on the back of a chair with paws dangling on both sides.
Cat#3:
Real name: Cara Shasta
Day to day nickname: Stupid cat
Positive honorific: none
Negative honorific: You multi-colored, special-ed furball IDIOT!
Endearment: none
Generic term: Stupid cat
Particular weirdnesses: My vet told me if she were a person, she’d be considered “trainably retarded.” The only cat I know with a speech impediment (“Gheee-own” “Mag-noooow”) She really is a stupid cat, we only keep her because my daughter inexplicably likes her.

I don’t know why this is so funny, but I can’t stop laughing.
