I remember in a psychology course, they talked about endearing interactions, such as baby talk and calling by different names. I musty admit that I call my cats (audio, olive) audioso and olivette. What can I say, I love my cats.
It means green in Japanese. Our kitty has enormous green peepers -so viola Midori.Originally Posted by LynneNY
I love the name Midori - it's my favorite drink!!! Have you ever had a midori colada??? So refreshing in the summertime and tastes just like drinking a honeydew melon!
My friend's cat had his tail run over by a car and the same thing happened (being amputated)! It's cute though and at least she doesn't seem to mind.Originally Posted by Emy4cats
Flower is "pretty girl"
Tiger Lilly is "stumpy" it is not a very nice nickname, but when she was a kitten she had a very long tail and she got part of it got caught on something (still to this day don't know what) and she had to have about 6 inches amputated. I know its not very nice but sadly that is the name she responds to when she is called
She does not mind at all. They didn't take her entire tail just about half of it, but it was REALLY long so not it looks about normal for a kitty her size. Hated that my parents called her stumpy, but now she thinks that is her nameOriginally Posted by DragulescuGirl

LOL!!!!! I just remembered that those were a couple more nicknames for my Duffy cat that I had when I was a teenager!!! We too called him Butzie and Butz and Butzie-Wutzie!!!! WOW!! Had I not read your post, I'm not sure I would have ever remembered that!! He was a quite stunning looking brown tabby and white semi longhair shelter kitty.Originally Posted by butzie
I am so sorry about "Butters!"
I call Butzie "Butzala", which is the German form of endearment for a name since Butzie is already a term of endearment. I also call her ButzieWutzie which just rhymes and BTW, they also rhyme with footsie and tootsie.
