Nicknames You Give Your Cats

Growing up, my Dad always called our cat, Teufel, "Dragon Breath."

We have nicknames for our current cats, too! Minka is almost always "Minka Spinka Pinka Poo." She frequently hurts my husband's feelings by rejecting his love and seeking mine instead, so he calls her (lovingly), "Little B***h." I know it sounds mean but he says it like his feelings are hurt, not like he's mad!

My niece calls Taxi, "Taxi Waxi Bo-Baxi" while her brother can't say Leo and instead calls him "Wee-Woe" (which has totally stuck).

When I was living at my parent's house with Minka and Leo, my Dad would frequently ask if we were having "Minka Stew" for dinner. So sometimes I call her Minka Stew.

I also have a song that I sing to Minka. It's terrible.
Hey little Minka
Said the little Minka
Minka, Minka, Minka, MINKA
She mews when I'm finished.

Aw, the song is so cute.

Raven: Moody boy; Pimpwalker; Ravie-baby; Knock it off!; Way-bone-eeeee; Wu-vu.

Shadow: Shudsy; Shudsy-Pudgy; Futsy ('cause he's a bit plump); Shy boy; Shadsy; Shoo-poo.

That is a short list of the nicknames I have for them.

Squeaky is Kitty!, the Squeakster, Grunty, Grunty McSqueakerton, Sprawl Kitty, Couch Cat, Sofa Sphinx, and Lap Lion.

One of my aquaintences has a cat named "kittybutt," and I've started to call Squeaky kittybutt as well

Zane is Lumpcat and My Furry Hot Water Bottle and the Furry Mousetrap (except he's not doing his job, as there's a mouse in the kitchen he hasn't caught.)

Squeaky Kitty Butt, wow!!!

I call Niko 'Pink'. He's a big cat (not fat, but looooooooooong), and looks like a panther. Every time he walks around, I swear to god I hear the pink panther theme in the background.

Mony: Mones, Moniqua, Bubbles, Bub

Penny: Pen, Pen-pen Face, Pennzoil, Penn Station, Penners

Siouxsie: Sue, Susan, Siouxsie-Sioux

And of course, they can all be called "baby" and "pretty girl".

I have taken to calling spirit "babykitty" and tess is either "miss tess" or "mean kitty" (she has a habit of growling and hissing at spirit, even as she plays with her, and anyone who pets her at the wrong time)

Gidget - we call her Gidgy, or Gidge Gidge
Sammie- we call her Sammers, Sam, loud mouth (she is very vocal)

and my husband always calls her by slinky's name or nicknames and they dont look any thing alike.

These nicknames are cute!

Maggie: Mags, Maggie Mae, Maggie Moo and Baaad Kitty!

Mia - "Stompy McStompersons", "Butt"
Bilo - "The B", "Fat-Body"
Reese- "Chicken Pot Pie", "Ree-ree" (and one name I can't list here)

And there's a stray cat I call "Thomas Xavier McMasterson III."

I also sing to the cats, and talk to them in a high voice. Anyone who doesn't have cats and visits my house thinks I'm absolutely insane.

Kittybutt.. !

I just have a million variations of the same thing.

Billy: Silly/Sills/Siller Biller/Silly Billy, Will/Wills/Willer/Biller- you get the picture! And most of the time they have "mister" attached to the front.

Pumpkin: Punky/Punk/Punker/Punkles, Wunkey/Wunk/Wunker/Wunkles, Winky, Stinky.

Kitten: Bo Bitty, Little Kitty, Squeaker, Pooper, Fluff.

I call Shadow by her mood happy/stingy/etc., but I just realized I don't have any for Johnboy! Well, considering the above, he should probably feel lucky!
