I just named a cat that got dumped at my work Johnny. It's a girl cat. Oops.
Jonni now?
Joanie?
Dog is named cat. Cat is named dog!
Some of us name our boy cats after Arby's menu items. That's how Double Roast Beef Sandwich got his name.
I know a boy cat named Apollo
3 of our girl cats growing were named Shasta, Kahlua, and Sprite and one of the boys was named Orange Crush; all were named after drinks (and that time Dad sat on Crush).
tell crush I say meow
I appreciate it, but Crush crossed the rainbow bridge a number of years ago (not because my dad sat on him) after a long and happy life
:( May crush be crushed in peace
He has a place of honor in the family pet cemetery and we remember him fondly.
My girl cat was named GirlCat.
My cat Neth'Sin the Ethereal Tormentor laughs at your modern goddesses.
Hey! Boy cats also get names after video game characters. Just ask Mr Bubbles.
Momcat is named Alyx after the Half-Life character.
One of her daughters is named Junko, after the alpinist Junko Tabei because she climbs everywhere and is always the first one to jump onto new things
The other is named Spots because she has spots.
Either way the cat thinks of him or herself as a divinity.
Our girl cat is named Maki because she's small. Girls get food names too.
My cats are named after a tattoo, an encoding system and a movie character.
Ah, the Elon Musk children naming system.
Tramp, ASCII and Neo?
Heh, good guesses.
Maze (because I have a maze, actually a labyrinth, tattooed on my back and she's stripey).
Hex (short for hexadecimal, but the pagans I used to date preferred to think otherwise).
Ripley (you can probably extrapolate for this one).
edit: line breaks.
Love it. I'm gonna name my next cat ASCII now tho...
Better than EBCDIC!
The Talented Mr. Ripley?
Fair guess again.
In this case, she's named after the Alien movies.
How is this so accurate?
We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.
Soup... Tomato Soup
my girl cat is named after a song about cigarettes
I love you, Beefy Crunch ❤️
I think Dweezil suits her just fine.
And here I am giving my pets human names like a weirdo: Brody (dog), Chad (dog), Sasha (cat) & Erin (cat)
Wait till you see Augustus Magnus the cat And his brother Brutus Maximus the other cat
Lucius Vorenus Catus approves!
Whatever,
Crunchwrap Supreme is a great name. It's much easier to say than my fishes name:
Three doritos locos tacos supremes with a large Baja blast.
My daughter named her fish Sushi.
My partner's parents had a pair of cows called Mince and Steak
Old man I used to know had a pig named BLT
My friend had cows named Sirloin and Rib-Eye. It's low-hanging fruit, you have to go for it.
Mmmmm, I do miss the Enchirito
My cat is named Figaro after the cat from the animated Pinocchio film that he looks just like. My dog is named Ampix after a character who gets made fun of for his stupid name in a novel that my wife and I read.
my cat's true name is whatever I come up with in the moment
- kitty/kitty-kat/itty bitty kitty
- bungus
- bungle
- baby cat
- snoozer/sleepyhead
Yup and the most important names, the ones that he responds to, are psp-psp-psp and ti-ti-ti.
My cat's name is Elliot because he's got a mustache like the Mr. Robot mask, but I call him Admiral Derpits, Mingus, Ferbles, or Murface the Furface on a Surface
Enchirito does sound like a good name for a cat... 🤔
Regretting calling my cat Persephone because I always have to spell it out to the vet reception over the phone.
Wait, is this just a trap to get our bank account security questions?
Mothers' maiden names are so crazy and random too, don't you think?
Especially when that side is fresh from slavistan.
