Question of the day - Thursday 15 July

Hey everyone

A kitty question for you today …….

I remember when I was younger, a friend of mine had a cat called ‘Lettuce‘

One of my friends calls her cat Christmas cat! cause on her nose is black fur and it's in the shape as a Christmas tree!

 

[artiemom]

Goofy!!! That was Geoffrey’s original name!

heidi was lily rose's name when i first got her
my mom calls my cat stardust " dirty shorts " lol

It's not strange so much as awesome, but Lelia's TNR has a 'Ferris Mewler' up for adoption.

I know someone whose cat's name is Taco.

I worked with a woman who named her cat - CAT. Very unoriginal but each to his/her own.

 

[Jem]

I know a woman who let her young child name one of the cats........and he chose the name Pencil.

My neighbors recently fostered three kittens named Ketchup, Mustard, and Relish. I think these were great names but they're admittedly unorthodox. I think the best names for cats are human names, such as Steve - that said, I did once meet a girl cat named Richard and that was a bit confusing.

The cat I have now is Chiquitita, the Spanish word for an endearment for a little girl, not to be confused with Chiquita banana. My last cat was named Stuart Little by the son of the people I got him from.

I can't think of anything specific, honestly. I had a cat growing up named Mistletoe, though and Flora's name before I adopted her was Earl the Girl (they originally thought she was a boy).

Sophie's shelter name was Midge. It doesn't suit her at all but I'm not surprised. She wasn't even there 2 weeks when they decided she was "unfriendly". I think the last time I heard that name was decades ago referring to Barbie's best friend.

How about UFF? It was a very special kitten that was always airborne! Lol It stood for Unidentified Flying Feline. It fit the kitten. He was very energetic and loved to fly. No Knick knack was safe.

My husband named our bridge boy Tik. He said it was just kit in reverse. His previous owner was calling him dipstick because of his tail. Patches was going to be Tac, cat reversed but he wouldn't have it. So that put a stop to my hubby having a Tik and Tac. My brother couldn't believe we had named our cat a bug. And agreed with Patches about his name.

A friend of mine called his cat C-fur. (c for cat, with a feline twist). He (C-fur) rather liked it.

Oh, and 'John'. My friend named him after her Dad.

 

[verna davies]

I worked with someone who called her cat Mouse

 

[muffy]

There was a character on "Malcom in the Middle" with a cat named Jelly Bean.

Barry McGuire recorded a song called "Walking My Cat Named Dog".

 

[Norachan]

I have/had cats called:

Chicken.
Button.
Carpet.
Clive.
Spooky.
Spider.
Fergus McGinger
and Blob.

My first cat was a female cat called Peter. One of my friends at school had a dog called Peculiar.

Some people have told me that Mollipop is a strange name for a cat I think it's adorable.

I think it is too. DD was standing next to me one day while I was on the forum and she happened to see one of your posts mentioning Molli. She declared it the best cat name ever. I couldn't disagree.

My soul kitty was named Morning Glory but we called her Beans because she was always jumpy. Like a jumping bean.

We’ve had a cat named Bunny.

My very first cat was Tinsel. Short for Christmas Tinsel.

My aunt had a cat named Trick. (His sibling was Treat.)

We’ve had some great names here over the years. Trout and Pixel are the first two that come to mind.
