I've noticed that we have a heap of nicknames for both our cats... and they answer to them! Judging by the strange nicknames we've cooked up, I'm willing to bet that there are lots of other cat owners that call their pets hilarious things when there are no other humans around.


Here's ours:

Tak - Tacky, Taquito, Tackytoes, Tic-tak, heart attack, tikkyboo, fluffer butt
Pixel - Pixie, Pickles, Pixelita, Picky, kitten pants, Pik-so

Zissou is babygirl, honey, dahlin (like darling), peanut, goober, cat (when she's bad), the z-ster, rocketkitten, the toilet paper kamikaze, and her former daddy called her Ziii Sue with a fake french accent which she will still answer to.

Nothing too weird I guess. Zissou doesn't lend itself to nicknames. She just knows I'm talking to her by the tone of my voice.

Zebras nicknames are Zeeb, Zeeb Zeeb, Baby, Cutie Pie, Little Girl.

Milos nicknames are Miley and Milo #2

The other Milo gets called Big Milo or Milo #1 (because he was here first)

My RB kitty, Georgia's nickname was GEORGEDAMMITGETDOWN.
I really don't have many for my crew now. Fluffy is Fluffybutt sometimes, and we use to call Pearl our little Pearl Girl until the Tampax Pearl commercial came out.
She's a Pearl Girl
with a silly looking tart waving a tampon around and grinning.

I wonder if psychologists have ever tapped into the underground world of cat nicknamers...

Don't know if they've done specifically cat nicknaming, but it is actually a field... onomastics (well, names in general, but nicknames are a subspecialty).
Names and nicknames using -ster were part of my thesis
