I've heard people talk about their several cats as "the herd," "the gang," etc.

But this weekend, we came up for a group name for Ella, Punkin, and Sterling.

El PunkSter!

! What an excellent (and mighty creative!) name!

I call my cats the Cattens more often than not. They're cats, but they're small and act like kittens. Besides, they're not even 2 years old yet. So, the Cattens is what works for us. Well, maybe not for them, but for me anyway
.

Obviously, the Cattens isn't as innovative a name as El Punkster
, so I decided to see if I could come up with some of my own collective kitty names. Here are the ones I came up with for my three girls, Cassidy, Delaney, and Emory (okay, not all of them -- I'm only sharing the good ones
):

Cassielanory
Emodelidy
Cadelamory
Delemidy
Cassemolaney

And, yes, these are the good ones I came up with
!
I think it'll be funny to see what other members can come up with for their groups of kitties. But, really, I think nothing can beat El Punkster at this point
.

The dogs we call the kids, but since 2/3 of my cats were either feral or semi feral rescues I call them the colony.

El Punkster is great! I cannot even begin to think what I would call mine. I usually just say 'my guys' or even 'the family'.

When I just had boy kitties, I used to call them "The Boys." Since adding Maggie, it's the kids or the cats. Sometimes the gang, or the crew.

I do have a new one for refering to just Levi & Jordan. I call them the OB's, as in original boys (You know instead of OG's for original gansters). I got them together after Smokey passed away, and refered to them as the boys first.

For me, its "the boogers" or "the brats"
They still get referred to as "the boys" a lot too, even though Cally is with us now. She tends to hide a lot still, so I'm usually just talking about Billy and Chay anyways.
