Dushka's name means 'little female spirit' in Bosnian, and she got it because she fought so hard to live as a sick kitten. Persil was black with oil when I found her and I had to bath her every night for a week (Persil washes whiter).

This isn't a cat's name, but a man's name. One of my students brought in "Bild" Zeitung yesterday (the German equivalent of The National Enquirer or The Sun), and there were "pin-ups" of guys. One of them had the first name of "Kastrati", and the entire class laughed themselves silly when she passed it around.

When I was 9, my mom adopted a boy and girl cat from the same litter.
The boy's official name was "Daring-Do", cause if it was daring, he'd do it! But the name we always called him was "Dum-Dum". He really wasn't very smart.
The sister was named "Innocence", cause she'd always look at you like, "What?? I'm innocent....wasn't me!"

All 3 of my kitties have regular official names, but Samson's other names are Pinhead, Fluffernutter, Nermal and The Brain.
Ranger's other names are Pinhead, Snoopy, Odie and Pinky(he has a pink nose, and it would have gone well with Samson's other name, The Brain.
Emmy's other names are Pinhead and Garfield.

(By the way, in case you're wondering about the name Pinhead? That's what my hubby thinks we should have just named them all)

we thought the name "Piku" was a little unusual when we adopted our kitties, but since he answered to it, we kept it. none of the other cats i've had or met have been called anything unusual

Wow...I love that one!!!


The names I have don't sound NEARLY as unique as everyone elses! I, of course, have my Waffle. Boyfriend's parents have Radar and they also had Smokey (a pitch WHITE cat). Boyfriend now has his little kitten Hida and growing up we had a Pussywillow.

Is it pronounced like You-lah ??? Thats how I'm saying it to myself. I think it's a cute name however it's pronounced though!

Where my cats are
My cats were Christmas Tinsel and Morning Glory. But they went by Tinsel and Glory. Glory also went by Beans. I had a friend growing up who's family named all thier cats after sodas. They had Sprite, Coke, Ginger Ale, etc.

I haven't had many cats with a "normal" name. My first cat's name was Hooga Booga, she had a litter of kittens, we kept one and named him Fuzzwart. A few cats later we got Rosietoes, Nyla, MaggieMay, Io, Lunataz, Yukon, Winnepeg, Lotti, Gracious... we finally managed to capture Margaret (the feral female responsible for all those kittens) and yeah... that was the end. Aquiel has a bunch of really interestingly named cats, I hope she posts in here!
Oh yeah, and I have a horse named Skookum. Never met another horse with that name. And 2 mice named Punkalicious and Furburubu.

I used to think Frodo and Samwise were unique, but there are quite a few Lord of the Rings fans out there.
Though it always gives vets pause to see a "Samwise" on their table. One of my best friends had a cat named Nugget. I love that! I also saw a cat for adoption that was named Frack. That's TOTALLY going to be the name of my next kitty, when I get one. (Or when the boys will tolerate another friend
)

I pronounce it Uh-lah. That's how people normally say it though. I love it when the vets call and leave reminders about her shots, they never get it right and you can tell their guessing how to say it.
