my wife thinks she may have norwegian forest cat genes. she is built like a line backer. very broad and short little legs. absolutely melts my heart with her green eyes. her favorite thing to do is cuddle, well until daddy makes her too hot, lol
We got a beautiful little white kitten a few years ago. We thought he was a he. He became Cirrus Kevin Joe Verga. At 6 months, right about the time we were scheduling his neuter, I realized that Cirrus' balls were missing. Cirrus Kevin Joe Verga, as I'm sure you guessed, was a girl. Cirrus morphed into cir-bear, then cirberbus, cirbeboos, and eventually became Beeboos. She now gets called anything from boobertoots, beebootonkis, beeboosaurus, to Beebidict Cumberboos. She only goes by her legal name when she's in trouble.
Fig is on all the paperwork but she has been Bean since she was small, and the full government name only comes out when she is on the counter. Her brother is Wallace, which is already too formal for a cat who yells at the rain.
I asked my vet if my kittens name was out of band. They told me they have pedigree dogs that cost thousands of dollars and have 5 generations of lineage named 'Molly'. And then 'I found this chaos goblin in the trash. His name is Lord Fluffy McFluffface, third Esquire of the Land of Dump'.
First of all I didn’t pick the name 😂 he came with it
He was adopted from an independent rescue and the guy named all his cats after Doug characters. We were initially interested in him just cause his name was so ridiculous, and once we met him we knew he was comin home with us! But we couldn’t agree on a new name so Skeeter stuck. It’s grown on me
Omg this is my Pippi Catstocking! Her nicknames are innumerable (Pipwich, Pippet, Pippalotta, Pipsicle, Pipkin Pie, Pipperoni, Pipper Snapper, Pippi Pantaloons, etc)
Chester: Chesty, Chestus, Chezzle, Chesterino, Chesterlee, Chezzington. Then we have Monty: Monte, Montel, Montgomery/Montgomerinette because she’s a girl, and my boyfriend likes to call her Mr. Burns
Spork is his real name. He also goes by Sperkocet, Sporgus, Sprongoloid, Sperkulosis, and Smorgasbord. Although sperky is the most used. (He has permanent airplane ear)
She reminds me of my Jasmine, aka Jasmine Rose, Jazzy, Jazzy gworl, Yazmin, Yammin, Yammin Roh. She’s 6 month old and has only been a part of this household for three weeks 🩷
Fletcher Terry 3000 - found at my shop, named after my wall-mounted glass cutter. Known at the vet as just Fletcher. I guess “Mr. 3K” is part of his government name.
AKA:
Fletch
Bud
Bud-bud
Bud-bud-bud (I stop at 3)
Spots!!
Spotted cat
Good boy (long and drawn out “Goooood boooooy”)
Silly baby
Goofus maximus
my tortie's government name was Iriska (toffee) but due to her attitude she was always called Krysa (rat). some people don't even know that Krysa was not her real name.
I have a Luna Mei Mei Mayonnaise Mathies Culver which we just call Mei or Mei Mei. Our other cat is Lucky but it's always been Bink, Butt, Stinky Binky, Binky Butt, Binky, Winkie, or Fuzzy Buck! Last cat is June Bug who is called June, Junie, Hunii, or Younii Butt.. so many names!! 😅
Her government name was momma but we changed it to Nala when I adopted her from the shelter. But I usually call her baeki short for baby kitty or just Kiki
I shared George, I'd love to share Soma too. My sweet lil baby girl, she's also known as lil stinky, lil mama, pretty lil lady, sometimes Soma deez I've had her since she was only a wee little baby and I'd die for her 🥹🖤🤍
My old man cat Luigi has received several nick names.
He used to have a high pitched meow that sounded like “nooo” so we started calling him Luigi snow (bastard name from GOT). He has also been called: Luigifer, Wigi (sounds like wee-gee), wigi woo, woo woo, wigi wooster, Wooster, petty boy (believe me he’s earned this), pretty boy (his favorite), and awkward boy (also very much earned).
So my first cat ever I got from a shelter. His name when I picked him out was Moon. I was chatting with the guy as I was finalizing the adoption and I said like hey that’s a cute name Moon was his owner an old hippie or something? He said ma’am when this cat came in here his name was Poon and I said you can’t have a cat named that he’ll never get adopted so I picked something real close to it so it doesn’t confuse him. That was many years ago. Now he goes by Moon, Moonman, Mooner, Moonboy, Mr. Boy, Mr. Moon etc lol
In the back is Junior Santa aka Junie, big boy, special boy, sweet prince, big guy, buddy. And in the front is Satou Eve aka sissy, princess, baby, princess baby
When we got her, she was half feral and scared of everything. I says we could only keep her if I got to name her. She is officially Prof. Amaretto Butterscotch, but because she is still afraid of everything, she goes by Chicken.
Not a kitty but my biy bunny was rescued and he came with the name Nibbles. We usually give our pets "people" names but he responded to it so we decided not to change it.
However, we call him other things more often. Usually he us "Sir" but when he sounds extra grumpy we call him "Mr Gurr d'Angry" because he makes lots of grunting noises at us and gets upset when we "steal his stuff" which is actually clean the bathroom deposits or "steal" his dish to fill it with food.
I have a TK as well! His government name is Tulkas, but I called him TK (for tiny kitten) when I first found him as a placeholder because I wasn't planning on keeping him. He is no longer tiny.
This is Zoey, also known as Fofinha (foh-fee-nyah) and Fofuxa (foh-foo-sha) which can be translated to fluffy, also Miquinha (mee-kee-nyah) that's little tamarin and Chita (cheetah) it's the name of a famous candy's monkey mascot.
Our family cat (she’s basically my sister at this point) legal name is Tilli. But I call her Titi, mamas, stinky, chunker…. The common nicknames. My bf, however, called her Tilliard the III, Tilli Willy, Tilli Billy Bo Milli.
Christian name is Martha but we rarely call her that except sometimes in front of guests. We call her: Toot, Tootie, Tinky, Tinka, Tootsie wootsie, and Binky when she's in her crazy zoomie mode.
This is Fluffy, but we also rarely call her that. Im glad to see other cat owners give their fur babies multiple names because I was starting to think I may be crazy with my list of names. We call her:
Da Floof, Flooooof, Floofers, Wheeze, Weasels, Beez, beeeezzel, bees bees, Mah meeez, Mimi’s, Floof’er’ito , Fah’Rooooof, Princess Wheeze, and The Baby Beez
My one year old SIC is Muffin Magdalena and she goes by muffy, muffadoo, muffini, sweetie pie, angel baby etc— my 5 month old void is George Pumpkin Toast, and he goes by George, Toast, wittle baby, little boy, toasty boy, burnt toast— they are my breakfast bunch

We often call him leotard.
But, ever since we got a new Pope named Leo we’ve started calling him
His holiness Pope Leo
