Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable
Polina aka Apollinaria Cassiopeia last name aka Sackratte (imma let you ecose that).
She's tiny, she's a drama queen and if you pet her the wrong for 3 picoseconds, you'll get the teeth.

Truman, Troomers, Trumy, Boomer, Little Orange/Arnj
Truman2
Poe2
The standard issue one is Morpheus, and the orange is his younger sister (from a different litter) Avocado Toast. Together they are the international pop duo Morphy and Toasty (don't have anything sillier than that, though I will try to use any that get suggested).
Taco Bob often gets called Robert or Turkey Bird
Pliny is usually just Pliny or Pliny Kitty.
This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo
She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.
Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two...)
The calico: Mew
The void: Tommy
Both:
Tommy is on a diet I promise
Possum. Her nicknames are:
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
~~I'll add a picture when I get another break from work~~
Edit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
"Helping" me work from home
We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He's orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁
I have two void brothers.
Booker
Hollow
Both of them also get called
My partner and I ALSO have
Mister Man
and
BOISBOISBOISBOISBOISBOIS
!!!
We don’t have stinkybutt, but I do call them “pooper”, and “poo tube”
I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we'd often refer to him as "the monster". Once you start calling your cat "Buddy monster" you'll find you're a very short distance from "monster of buddies I'm pulling your strings".
Here's Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:
Sushi
My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su
If she's in trouble then it's Sushi Maki Roll <Our last name>
I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I've ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn't bury them in the litter.
Name: Luci (disenchantment character)
Nick Names: Lulu,
Goddamnit,
Dumpster goblin,
Lou,
Stop that.
Name: Rorschach
Nick Names: Buddy, Rory, purrlator, ruru, socks, hungry boi,
Nyx, but every cat I have is either "kitty" or lately "monkey"
I'm at work with a new-ish phone so I can't pay the cat tax, I don't take many pictures :/
Sabrina -> Bree -> The Cheese -> Cheesy
Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.
Name: Blu
Nicknames:
General von Mackensen. They look like they fought in both world wars.
No pictures, sorry. Got two of them. (Two of them)
Pistache (Pistachio, classic Calico tabby)
And, Earl Grey (Super chonky muted tuxedo tabby)
Fully Loaded Potato is perfection.
My boy Mo
Or:
And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---
Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.
I'm losing it at Slow-Mo and Guiller-Mo
May I suggest, for when he is being a menace (I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
(I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
You called that right. He's pretty much a Border Collie in a cat body. Those are definitely going into the rotation.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.
The last pic has big "phone home" vibes 👽
Name: Emily
Nickname: Emmerly. Sometimes I sing "Emmerly and Ivory" to her 😁
Name: Charlotte
Nickname: Char-Char
I also refer to them as "The Sisters" or "The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters" since they are in fact sisters from the same litter and love staring at me, visitors, and each other 😄
A rare moment of them getting along outside of having fun playfighting:
Things I love about this comment:
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn't being an orange cat.
This is Oliver. I mostly call him:
Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
