Describe your kitty(ies) in one word

Last night Gary and I were talking about the kitties (of course ), and we decided to try to find the "one" right word for each of them.

Lazlo - Crazy
Sheldon - Stubborn
Spooky - Needy
Tuxedo - Sergeant
Flowerbelle - Princess
Ming Loy - Independent
Billy - Happy

Of course they all have their cute, sweet moments. But we've been convinced for some time that Lazlo is communicating - or attempting to communicate - with aliens, and he can go from sleep to insane in about a minute.

Shelly is SO loving - but ONLY on his terms. Try to budge his position one millimeter when he's on your lap, and he's off it.

Spooky - her neediness makes her a cuddle-bunny, but she NEEDS it.

Tuxedo - we deemed him "unadoptable" because he was SO mean as a kitten - he sent another feral cat to the hospital for stitches. Long story short, he wound up in here with us, and was a benevolent alpha. He got really sick for a long time - and now that he's feeling better - well - he's back to being alpha, but he's no longer benevolent. STRICT control of the kitties and always on patrol!

Flowerbelle - we were going to go with demanding - but she's so darling, we had to soften it up a bit.

Ming Loy - She loves that we're here for her amusement when she wants food or to be played with, but otherwise.....

Billy was our oldest feral when rescued - he was two. He's the sweetest kitty. He is DETERMINED to make Lazlo his friend - and one day he will succeed. But he doesn't let anything get him down, and he's just happy to be safe, to be loved, to have toys, a window perch in the sun, and to have food!

Great idea for a thread....
I have the perfect word for my kitties.

Dexter...bullyboy.
Isis..........sweet.

Next .........

Brill topic Laurie

Flash would have to be Diva LOL she loves to make sure she is center of attention all of the time

Sooty would be Noisey he talks and talks does a bit more talking and then more talking

Smooch would be speedy he runs round the house like i dunno what haha

LDG--I love your signature!! I adore that Billy's expression! Those eyes.......
BELLA = Fattabulous

Fattabulous is a great word.

Oh my - this is a good thread!!

Scarlett: princess (drama queen would also work)
Stumpy: stubborn
Muddy: innocent
Koko: whacky
Bob: busy
Spanky: loud
Pinky: sensitive
Eightball: goofy
Oscar: bipolar
Lucky: stud-muffin

Scarlett cracks me up with her drama. Last night DH came home from work and mowed the lawn until about 9PM, so he wasn't inside holding her. She didn't come to bed with us last night. She always sleeps curled up next to us. This morning she was no where to be seen. My first reaction was to cancel my doctor's appointment and rush her to the ER. Then DH reminded me she's a drama queen and he didn't hold her last night like he normally does. She was pouting.

Penny= Bratty

Daisy= Lovebug

Katie - tolerant
Gracie - high-maintenance
Peter - goofy
Claire - stubborn

Moose - goofy
Lucy - skittish
Rocky - sweet

Carly is loving.

Oh my - this one definitely requires some thought!

Trent - Needy
Ophelia - Demanding
Ginger-Cookie - Sweet
Mojo - Puppy-cat
Annie - Brat

Trent doesn't just want to snuggle or play or god-knows-what-it-is-this-time. He needs it. And he whines until he gets what he needs.

Ophelia is a princess through and through. Every time she sees or hears Daddy she SCREAMS at him to come and see her. It would be easier if she got over herself and came to see him, but no.

Ginger Cookie is just a sweetie. I tell her that's why her name is Cookie - because she's so sweet.

We really think Mojo was raised by dogs. She acts like a big floppy dog most of the time. She does not have ANY kitty manners and the others aren't too fond of her because of that. But with us she is SO loving and snuggly. She lays at our feet in the computer room. She gives us licky kisses. She doesn't meow; she squeaks. A lot of the time it almost sounds like she's barking.

Annie's motto in life is "I know its naughty, but I'm cute so it's OK." Brat. Good thing she IS that cute!

I notice a lot of similarities with the demanding theme, whatever word is used - a lot of goofies, bratties, and stubborns!

I definitely prefer "whacky" to crazy - Gary agrees.

I know there are a couple of "puppy cats" at TCS, but that's a rare one. It's great for the humans - not so great for multi-kitty households.

...and "Fattabulous" is a fattabulous word!

Momofmany!!! I'd love to be in ur life...and be able to have that many cats!! Some day maybe. Your description of Scarlett's antics had me teary-eyed with laughter!

Shadow - Timid
Salem - Boss-Man

Shadow still won't let me hold her if her big bro is in the vicinity. She'll still leggit if she even thinks there's a stranger in the house.

Salem - deffo the 'big bro' and bosses his sister when food's being prepared... He's such a bully, but always leads the way into new adventures, with Shadow close behind in his...well...erm..shadow?

Siamie - demanding
Speck - beautiful
Marshmallow - sweet
Daisy -

I didn't have to think too long on this

Lilly: Irritable
Forrest: Tyrant
Zachary: Amicable

My husband even calls Forrest "The Little Tyrant" and has recently started yelling "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" before letting him out of his nightly man cave (guest bathroom) in the morning when he gets up. ...yeah..he thinks it hilarious.

Sho..............awkward (socially)
Tomas..........troublemaker
Sherman......annoying
Siri................grumpy (though she acts kitten goofy, too)
Tanna...........demanding
Blasa............reserved
Blaan............goofy

MewMew......demanding (to humans, cats would say evil)
Boo................skittish


Sho was raised an only cat for four years, as a kitten he was around other cats until ~5 months but apparently didn't get enough socializing and sometimes behaves in ways that bother the other cats.
Tomas still acts like a 7month old kitten, enough said. Sherman likes to annoy Siri and Sho.

Blasa acts like a quite reserved old cat 98% of the time.. she's an 8month old kitten.

Someone described a kitty as acting like a princess - that would work for Tanna, too. One night I was working on some jewelry and had a couple spare pieces of cut wire. I quickly fashioned them into a tiara that, no surprise, fits her perfectly.

Batman - goofball
Patches - scaredy-pants

Magnum - regal He thinks he is above doing most things and just sits there looking pretty

Boomer - chatterbox I think he talks more than the other 4 put together, usually because he wants water to play with

Bumper - sweetheart (but puppycat would work for him too since others said it) - Bumps is my babyboy, he will do anything to snuggle with you

Autumn - princess I have just finished carrying her around with me because she sat at my feet crying every time I put her down

Quincy - brat whacky, bipolar, adorable, cheesky, stubborn - take your pick

Ooh. I like this thread.

Larry - comedian

I swear he knows what makes me laugh and giggle, and he gets this look in his eyes, and on his face, like - "I'm funny, right?"

Twitch - cantankerous She's just an old crank, always crabbing at someone for something, and the world revolves around her
TigerLily - snappy she has a short fuse & will let you know when enough is enough
Margo - goofy just one in a million - always happy, playful, cuddly - just a goofball
Molly - flighty somewhat flighty, but loves to play, will run up/rub across you let/run away wanting you to chase her
Ophelia Rose -

kinda self explanatory - she can be very aggressive towards people, other cats & dogs - she has her moments.....sleeping next to me purring right now
Dorian Grey - goofy a perpetual kitten
Eden - snuggly the single most snuggly cat in the world - she follows you around 24/7 & the moment you sit down crawls in your lap & drapes there
Lola - obnoxious she's always there - always underfoot - always chewing on this, playing with that - again a perpetual kitten, just not always in a good way
Gumby - skittish she'll always be a jumpy little feral kitten
Squishy - pushy he's "all that & a bag of chips", just ask him - always in your face, telling you what he wants & when he wants it
Fafeena - Queen she needs no explanation
Goat-Head - screwball she's Dory's mom - named Goat-Head as she'll run up to other animals/people & run headfirst into them for no apparent reason (well at least to me)
Billy Bob - purrball a big old lug of love
Tony Bob - jumpy Billy's brother, less social as his brother took the limelight
Slinky - hungry very food motivated & seemingly always hungry!
Tabitha - bi-polar one second a happy purring kitty, the next a raging ball of claws
