Cat Names & Nicknames Thread

Why Not? The Dog forum is having fun with this, so why shouldn't we? :)

Perhaps if someone is looking for a new pet name, they can get it from one of us right out of this ol' thread here.
now, i'm going to list out some names and nicknames in groups, as they come to me. We try to never recycle a name here, which has led to some unusal names over the years (Like the time we took in three tabbys and called them "This, That, (the other) Thing." :)

Pouncequick

T.F. (Tiny Friend)

Princess (of course)

Goldie

Bumpers

Ted Ford (Started as Ted-e-Bear, some how became the former)

Nighteyes

Whump (Originally Stumpy due to only half a tail, became "Whump" over time)

Ariel (also Michael, Rahpael, Gabriel and Cassiel (angel of temperance), to name a few in the angel category)

Frannie (Full name is Frannie funny Face)

Groucho

Rosemary, Parsley, Thyme  (there are many, many spices... :)  )

Moonshadow

Mouse

...enough from me for now! :)

Sometimes I call one or the other cat a "brat cat" Usually geared towards Waldo. He has a thing for looking practically lifeless, laying right in the middle of a path - until both of us leave the table for a second. Then he's up there trying to pull whatever is up there on the ground to eat. He knocks over garbage cans if given the chance... He's even knocked over a small metal can and gotten it open.

I call Jade a "Dirty Girl" quite often, too.  

White Cat + Outdoors = Dirty Girl! :)

We had never seen Jade look so white and clean as she did those 2wks in the hospital LOL...

our fur baby's name is venus. we originally thought she was a he so "his" name was mars buuutttt then we realized oh it's a girl and changed it to venus. (should have left it mars....and yes i have a thing for roman and greek gods) i call her snot ball, monster, fat cat, bad cat, fuzz butt, stinky @$$, psycho and crazy cat. when i'm mad i call her venus aphrodite (yes i know venus and aphrodite are technically the same goddess) wampler....

when we get the g.s. puppy if it's a he his name will be aries mars (yes again same god different cultures) wampler if it's a girl her name will be Athena Sasha (sasha was greg's old german shepherd) wampler.

I called our first kitty, Abby, "Baby Girl" since she was just a baby when we got her.  

I call Jade "Cutie," my husband calls her "Punkin" or "The Punkinator" and we both call her "Punkinhead."

My cat has a wide range of nicknames.  Let's see...
Baby girl
Sweet girl
Furball
Fluffmeister
Die Katze
Goof Goof
Honey

She knows when I come up with a new one that I'm still talking about her.  I love it that she learned the German phrases that I've repeated to her enough times.  She knows I'm talking about her, regardless of which language I'm speaking.  I'll say:  Bist du eine Katze?  Bist du meine Katze?  It's pretty awesome that she has figured out that she is a Katze and a Fluffmeister.
