It's glad to have other people admit to it! But you would HARDLY be the only person talking to your cat like that! Count me in!!!

However, I'm glad to find so many other people who have kitty nicknames! I don't think what may cat's actual names are even matters at this point! We call them by their "other names so much!

Utu has lots of nicknames, he understands that I only want something from him if I use his real name, the others are just for greetings, cuddling and general talk. Few examples: Uzi, Uzi Mau, Sensei Utu, Uhu (the owl), cheap woman, roadkill..

Kuura: Hello Kuura, seal cub (kuutti in finnish), polar bear (jääkarhu in finnish), arctic/snow fox (naali in finnish), lump (möykky in finnish), meatloaf (mureke in finnish)..

Tomu: Tomu Mau, Tomultrus, Tomudeus I, Tomurder, Ed (the hyena from lion king), Zed (a guy from police academy movies), Silly boy

Luna: Well, Luna is her nickname, Lunazi, Nazi (

), Cotton Candy (hattara in finnish), Fluffy, 'You are so tiny', and sometimes she gets to hear her real name Dascha.

I need to use certain voice to make them realize that I'm talking to them instead of about them, or if I want them to come to me etc. Otherwise they'll just look at the person mentioning their name but will not do anything if the name is not said in a specific tone.

(Most of their nicknames are finnish but I wrote them in english here so you'll know what they mean).

Peanut gets called "Goober", "Goob", "Goo-bar", and of course-- "get out of my way before I fall down the stairs!"

Teddy: Ted, Bear, Beary-Bear, Squeaky, Lazy Butt, THEODORE! (Gotta bring out the formal name when he's in trouble)

Milo: My-My, Milo-My, Old Man, Dirty Butt, MILO M. MY! (So, yeah... I had to improvise on his in trouble formal name. lol)

Peek-a-boo is Peekers, Peekiweeki, and Handsome.

Ernie is Evil E. Tubbo. Fat Cat. or Fat Ernie. (He's a bit on the chunky side, obviously.)

And Gnash is Mr. Bitey or Piranha. (I'm sure you need no explanation here, he's eight weeks old.)

I refer to the general collection of all my cats as "booboos." I also call them "booboo" individually when petting them or calling to them. When I'm coming in the door, I kiss up the stairs and say "Hi booboos!"

Simon doesn't have any cute nicknames yet, lol! Hard to shorten "Simon." Garfunkel is Funky, Funk, and Funk-funk (I know, right, SO CUTE!

hahaha!).

They also have nicknames that include profanity which I can't mention here

Think jack"butt" and the like

These I like to say in a singsongy voice so they don't know the difference!

I am sick & twisted, I tell ya!
