Two of my adopted cat are being named "cat" in my language.

In my defence, vet need a name and i couldn't think of one.

My adopted little girl is still listed as Popoki in her adoption paperwork. I think that is close to Cat in Hawaiian.

We are firmly landlocked in the Midwest.

The vets that I have experienced tend to use the human's surname as the pet's surname. If that's the case with you also, it is humorous to imagine a cat's chart basically saying "Cat [your last name]"

I named my first ferret "Girl" and her sister "Yu". One of my turtles is named "Turtle". My creativity knows no bounds.

I did name my dog Sophie though, so one out of four could be worse.

When I was a kid we had a dog named Monkey

Well we learn how to name stuff the more we do. My third cat is Tina and my 4th cat is bean in my language, so a step forward.

I had a "cat" cat too, but nothing to say in my defense. And I named the cat who came in my yard but wasn't mine "big nose" because he had a big nose.
