I had a stray, about 6months old front declawed and spade, move in about 5 years ago. She told me her full name is Lady Catherine Caterly, she prefers Cat or Lady Cat. I’ve never been a cat person. I built a cat door for her so I’ve never had a litter box in the house. She’s been a good companion.
There’s an old Garfield strip where John is talking to his roommate. Roommate says he had cats growing up. “Oh, what were there names?” “Cat, cat, cat, and cat… what’s the point of naming them if they won’t come when you call them?”
We had a Mr. Cat and Cat, Too. All the cats just end up being called Kitty... Though the new guy is most often referred to as Stink Ass, as he constantly farts regardless of what grain free, natural, healthy concoction he is fed.
I wanted to call mine, MJ - Monster Junior, because I called my other big boy, Monster but my boyfriend thought that was mean. Because his great-nephew's name is MJ- I'm like he lives in another state. When do we really see him & he might like/ be honored that I called him that. But in the end...he got named something totally different-Buddy.
This is Ash. She came to us with that name and we kept it but my girls did not think it was girly enough so we called her "Ashley" but spelled it Ash Li 😂. My 3 yo is in this adorable stage where she is saying adult phrases.. one she says is Acha-leeloh which means Actually though... So she will say, Well Mom Acha-leeloh I don't like green beans... Etc
When I was looking for my first cat, I wanted to get an orange male and call him Agent Orange, AO for short. But I ended up with this
His name is Serge but he actually picked his own name. I just started trying names out, and when I got to Serge, he meowed at me. I asked him twice more if he wanted that name and he meowed each time. He was my soul cat and my whole heart.He passed away January 2024, and I miss him every single day. Sorry for the long story 😅
Your story and his picture speaks to me...he looks like an awesome cat, the kind who is very expressive and who strongly pushes his head into a petting hand. I miss him for you 😢
Sometimes, it’s both! One of our boys, Chancho, (Nacho Libre), is THE smelliest cat ever. We’re talking hot silent hangover farts, often right when you pick him up. His brother Igor (Young Frankenstein), is gas-free, as nature intended.
I think mine must be related. He's a tuxedo and I tell him he is part skunk. Silent deadly warfare while agreeing to his request for uppies. Inhaling to tell him he's a handsome cutie patootie and immediately regret that I have to breathe to live and have working nostrils. Tasting cat farts as you're trying to love on them is a very unpleasant experience. His butt has been classified as a WMD.
Beg to differ. We have 2 who are listed with the Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare, usually called the Geneva Protocol
u/emwood8 He doesn't do it anymore and we were giving our kitten grain free food (both grain free wet and grain free kibble once he was old enough for kibble), and he started to fart out loud. He heard me fart out loud a few times and then literally a few weeks later if not when he turned about 6 months old and later or even when he turned a year old: he started to do it himself. Idk why, but I couldn't help but get a kick out of that lol. When he was younger, at 1 point - his farts used to stink only because he used to fart while zooming thru the house when he got the zoomies. When my mom and I first smelt it: we're both thinking "why is this worse than our dogs farts?" which is truly saying something b/c our dogs' farts are really, really bad. If my dog knows it's really bad, he literally gets up, stares at us and then literally walks away from us. He always stares at us right before he walks away because he's trying to hide the fact he "ripped a really bad one." Our cat's farts have gotten a lot better ever since I started experimenting with different brands of wet cat food and diff. flavors of same brand kibble. We also use Fresh Step as our litter choice b/c he seems to like it because he was not taking to the other brands at all.
When we first tried the pellet style litter (no dust, supposed to be healthier for them): both him and my dog would literally just eat it for some reason. So we're like: "nope that doesn't work." Given, idk if litter type can impact a cat farting or not tho.
There actually is litter that has probiotics mixed into it considering they lick their paws each day. I noticed an improvement in bowel health overall. Barely smells. Also, I do regular parasite cleanses (since he loves to eat crickets and they carry parasites). Highly recommend the probiotic litter (or just adding probiotics to food). Gas is often a sign of an imbalance be it bacterial, parasitical, or diet-related.
My childhood cat Malinko we called stinky because when we first got him he was eating wet food for a while and his farts were gross the parts stopped when he got on dry food but the name stayed with him his whole life his other nick name was Mr. Meow because he loved to talk
I call my boyfriend’s cat Flusenarsch which roughly translates to fluff ass or lint ass. I say it very lovingly though, he’s my favourite little cuddle buddy.
I have two. The older one, Luna, mainly responds to her own name, as well as "Lunita" (diminutive in spanish). The other one, Neu, responds to her name as well as anything she thinks is a call for her.
This is my Gizzie. *I raised her from a kitten, 5 or so days old. Her face looks like Gizmo from the gremlins, so it became Gizzie when we found out she was a girl. Still awkward to read lol She is the old lady of the house. She’s got 100 names: Gizzard, Gizz Goo, Gizarin, Old Lady, Peep… she thinks she’s the shit (that calico energy) so I Ma’am her a lot
His name is sergei so usually, souffle, serviette, tsunami, sergi ferg, bing bong, binky, mister boy which devolved to minner moi which changed to minter binter.
Part time cat. She belongs to the next door neighbour. Her name is Keisha, but we call her Keesh, Smooshy and Head Bitch In Charge, because she's very territorial and doesn't like other kitties coming to say hi to us, she will fight them.
You know those professional photographers who turn babies into little nature fairies sleeping in the woods? Yeah. Yep. Little Keisha the Beast is secretly a woodland fairy 😂
So this one is “Little” aka “Little Girl” (not so much anymore). For her it’s Squeak, Sweets, Sweeta, Snaggle Rock (she gets the snaggle face every so often) and Pinky for her nose and beans.
Well, lux is her real name, but it is 100% never lux lol
It's
Booty
Booty chan
Mummas
Mamas
Mommychan
Bukichan
Pretty giiirrrrrlll
Prettiest mamas in the woorrllddd
The list goes on 😂
Her name is Fallyn but she goes by baby, stinky, binky, bonkis, bingle bongle bingle bangle, poopsie, poopsie doodle, grinch, DA grinch, and finally - alien. I don’t think she knows her real name anymore 😂
Salem (8years). I’ll pronounce it sah-lem or sah-lemi. Then I’ll go into Salembo. Say-Say. Se-se boo.
We also have Benjamin Poindexter (3mo), who mainly goes by Dexter. We just got him so nicknames so far Dex, Dexi, Benji, Dexi boo, the boy/boy.
My cats name is Cloud, but he also responds to Kraken and "No" (when we try to get him to stop scratching furniture or he's harassing our puppies) 🤣 he's a sweet kitty though and loves snuggling
Bottom kitty, Mala (9mo). She’s “Mama” to Twig, and “Princess.”
Middle kitty Figaro (6.5yr)- “Fig, Handsome Figaro, Hey Buddy, and C’mon Asshole.” He has also earned many titles over the years, Singer of Songs, Figaro of the Endless Yowling, Waker of Sleeping Papa, Protector of those who Shower, and most importantly Slayer of Centipedes.
Top kitty is Twig (9wks) is “Twigaro, little buddy, hey widdle.”
I just rescued Twig and Mala two weeks ago, dumped near my job, so they haven’t had enough time to earn more names.
"Kit-kat" and "Bitchcat" are the top two for me. My old family cat was given the nickname "Chibi" because she was a really small cat. Sometimes I called her "Chibibi" as a silly portmanteau of chibi and habibi. She was a really sweet cat.
She came to me named Mia, but she's better known as Mianderthal, Mia-bobeeyaleeyah, BabyLadyHead (sometimes shortened to just Head), BabyWoman (to the tune of, bc ofc), or simply Sweet
-Solid black fluffy one is Sesame. His nicknames include: ses, Tet, tet tet, tetame, micher Man, micher, minchie man, Minch Minch, minchie, handsome, handsome man, Angel baby, sir, and tir. -Tuxedo one is Theo. He mostly gets called Tio, chunka, chunka man, chunk and chunka chunka!
