Unusual cat names

What's the strangest or most unusual cat name you've ever heard? My cousin had cat when we were teenagers named "Seffer" (sp). She also called him "Perseffer" or maybe it was "Purrseffer", lol.

I think Louie Da Lip is a pretty strange name for a cat, especially a cat with no bottom lip.....but don't tell him that Zabbie is also kind of a weird name when I think about it; poor guy got dubbed Pansy when the vet and I decided he was a femaile, but he never answered to that but would only come to me when I called wheresthebaby....and that morphed int Zabbie and sometimes to Zabgetouttathway.

Everyone kind of things Google is an odd name! But I like it!

Everyone laughs when I mentioned I have a cat named Bowser... until they see a picture of him!

I used to have a cat named Laughing Boy, and my neighbors used to have cats named Underfoot and NoName.

Then they really giggle-he's got by far the best expression on a cat that I've ever seen.

I love Bowser.

That would probably be my Imhotep. I've gotten a lot of strange looks for that one.

What a great thread! I'm loving reading about all these awesome and unusual names. Google?! Underfoot?! Bowser?! IMHOTEP?!

And here I thought I was being original by giving my cats "real" names (Allen, Rachel, etc.).

AC

I still miss 8-Bit's mommy, Heather (lookingglass) (and stories about 8-Bit! ).

And there's Amy's (Momofmany's) Eightball.

I loved MA's cerebellar hypoplasia kitty rescues, Tilt and Whirl. Ours weren't so original - the vet staff named them Neuro and Logic. Logic's adoptive mom kept her name. We changed Neuro's name to Ming Loy (which, for quite a while she thought was "Where'sMingLoy?" ).

And Nat (white cat lover) always has great names: Chairman Squishy Meow, Fafeena, Goat-Head, Dorky Fish, ummm.... I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great foster kitty names, but I remember Bustopher, ...and of course I always loved "the Bobs": Fat Bob, Skinny Bob (who I THINK are Billy Bob and Tony Bob, but there could be four Bobs, I'm not sure. )

I like Zabgetouttatheway and Underfoot xD

Everybody tells me "What the heck kind of name is GRIMALKIN? :/" 'It's the name he had when I adopted him.' "Well why'd you Keep it???"

Also, people have a terrible time pronouncing it. xD

I like all of those names! (Can't see how they're hard to pronounce though. ).

Gary thinks Lazlo's full name is unusual: Carl Lazlo Jr.

He also thinks Chumley is unusual (but I told him I'm not sure cartoon names count! If so, then you have to include Tennessee Tuxedo, and all of Lauren's feral kitties!)

There are some unusual names out there!!

I suppose Genever is different enough- people always think I'm saying Jennifer, or they call her Je-NEE-ver, or Genevieve or Geneva (like the city). It's much better than her shelter name- Miss Boo Bear.

And let's not forget Skippymjp's kitties, so many of them named after cats in the T.S. Eliot collection of poems, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (where Bustopher comes from as well )

Let's not forget 8-Bit Wolfgang's brothers, Scratch Fury Destroyer of Worlds and Dr. D Claw. (I miss 8-Bit, too. )

Right now sis has a cat Packy; her brother was Rework (blame BIL for those). The other cat is Lucky, short for "Damn Lucky We Let You Live Here".

Oh Jan, you're right!!!!!

And at your BIL's names!

I don't know how unusual this name is, but our first rescue kitty was Booger. (And she was a booger! ).

growing, I had a Siamese cat, mom let me name her (I was two), her name was Kanarus.

My cat I had growing up was named Sir Puddington III, or Puddy for short. And no, there weren't 2 other Sir Puddington's before him! Lol!

I always try to name my pets with unique names.

of the cats I've had (all black) they have been named

The Black Brotha
Petrolio
Lears (he was all legs & ears when I found him)
Choripan
