In general, we call them all “catties.” The ones in my house, in general, get called “poopers.” But, my dogs and even my DS get that same nickname.
T.S. Eliot’s book of Practical Cats is one of my favorites! My kits all have many more than three names.
Dempsey: Demp, Dump, Dumpster, the King, My Liege Lord, Little Lord Fauntleroy, the Emperor. It’s easy to see who runs the household, or who believes he does.
Duchess: Dutchie, Dusky, Dutch-mite, I love Lamp. Dutch is not bright but sweet.
Skeeter: Skeet, Skeets Malone, Doop-E-doop-e-doop, Sleeping Cat. Skeeter is, clearly, the cat that sleeps with me.
I have variants of “meower.”
Momma’s Meower.
The Meows. This one is always used for a plural situation. I don’t think I refer to one cat as a meow.
Meowingham.
Meowhead.
Our Very Large Tuxedo, Felix:
“Catslice” as in; “What’s up, Catslice?” when he comes strutting in the door.
Dinosaur name: “Fee-Rex”
Abby the (Terrible) Tabby:
“Abz.”
“Droptheratrightnow!”
Dinosaur name: “Abbasaur”
The dog also has a dinosaur name, he is the “Heinzapod”
Skittles. I call all cats skittles. Why? I have no idea. lol
Vivi
vivilicious! (vivi+delicious… I can’t even begin to tell you where that one came from, but I have a) no idea if she is delicious, nor b) do I have any plans to find out if she is tasty… or delicious)
SBC (small black cat) who ultimately became
BBC - Bowling ball cat, because she uh, got rather round in the middle. But still black
Zifu
he is mostly just plan Zifu (pronounced zee-foo)
or Zifuzifuzifu (pronounced zeefoosheefoosheefoo
two ton ted (anyone who has seen him understands)
Zazu
Zazzles. Because he is ZAZZY! (points if you get the reference)
Zazzling Dazzles
Dazzling Zazzles
nutcake
Miracle Cat
(the last two make sense if you read the thread about kitten stuck in a tree)
I think cats-- collectively-- can now be called The Kracken. There’s a thread above that establishes that name.
Well, Neville’s obvious nickname is Neville-Devil.
Also: Fuzz-fuzz, Mistah Fuzz, Fuzz Da Mau, Kitty Mau, Mister Mau, Fluffer-butt, Fuzzuzu. Oh, and Kitty Pants.
“Norman Bates” is sitting next to me as I type.
But I’m not afraid.
Becky - Hootch (because when she trots she looks like she’s doing the hootchie cootichie)
Bestest (because I tell her she’s the "best little cat in the whole wide world)
Leon - Handsome Dude
Mine Host
Rachael - Fluffernutter (she’s a bit on the rotund side)
Gina - Lady (because she is one)
Lily - nothing very original, mostly Lily-Lil
Sarah - Kiddo because she’s the baby in the bunch.
Skitties or skittles. Sometimes skitty-witty, skittyskitty bangbang, skitty scat…you get the idea.
My cat gets called Meez Meez and she always shows up when I call her that:) She is kind of feral and lives in my barn
Kitzer
Pussface
In general, mow mows, or if I know it’s a girl, mama kitties.
Our kitten (Simba) gets called Kit Tan or Ditch Cat if he’s being bad (he was found in a ditch, he occasionally needs a reminder of his origins lol).
