Edit: omg everyone please reply to each other with suggested additional nicknames
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn’t being an orange cat.
On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he’s either a babyman where he’s all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he’s a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he’s hyper.
On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by ‘Frey’, but when she’s in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her ‘Turbo Cylinder’ because she’s very tubular in shape at high speed.
This is Izzy.
AKA Isabella, Queen Isabella Greypelt, Izzy Busy, Isabella Busy Boo, The Puke Monster and The Monochromatic Quadropus. At least one of those has one of those inane songs to go with it.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she’s a low intelligence specimen.
The last pic has big “phone home” vibes 👽
Name: Luci (disenchantment character)
Nick Names: Lulu, Goddamnit, Dumpster goblin, Lou, Stop that.
Name: Rorschach Nick Names: Buddy, Rory, purrlator, ruru, socks, hungry boi,
I think all cats are named “Stoppit.” It’s like in the taxonomy. Animalia cordata mammalia felidae stoppitae quitthatus felis catus
Name: Emily
Nickname: Emmerly. Sometimes I sing “Emmerly and Ivory” to her 😁
Name: Charlotte
Nickname: Char-Char
I also refer to them as “The Sisters” or “The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters” since they are in fact sisters from the same litter and love staring at me, visitors, and each other 😄
A rare moment of them getting along outside of having fun playfighting:
Things I love about this comment:
- Singing Emmerly and Ivory
- Emmerly’s mlem matching the cat food bag
- “Staredycat Sister’s”
- The fact that Char Char is a tortoiseshell, because I think they look like orange cats that got stuck in a sooty chimney
This is Luna. Her nicknames include: Stinky Lady, Baboona, Beepy Boopa, Loons, Lunar. Plus more that I’m sure I’m forgetting.
I have two void brothers.
Booker
- Book
- Booger
- Bookbookbookbookbookbookbookabookabooka
- Booker DeWitt (his full name) when he’s being very handsome.
Hollow
- Holla at your homeboy
- Scaredycat
- Boy
- Fatty
Both of them also get called
- Mister Man
- Void (said as many times as feels right)
- Stinkybutt
- Boysboysboysboysboysboysboys (into perpetuity)
- Handsome
My partner and I ALSO have
Mister Man
and
BOISBOISBOISBOISBOISBOIS
!!!
We don’t have stinkybutt, but I do call them “pooper”, and “poo tube”
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She’s occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she’s too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it’s always pronounced as “ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS” in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
I’ll add a picture when I get another break from workEdit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
“Helping” me work from home
We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He’s orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁
SIMBA -> SIMBABIMBA
yeah, that works nicely
Sushi
My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su
If she’s in trouble then it’s Sushi Maki Roll <Our last name>
I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I’ve ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn’t bury them in the litter.
This is Oliver. I mostly call him:
- Little Boyyyyyyy! (Singsong, obviously)
- Beautiful Baby
- Little Baby Man
- Stinky Boy
- Goofy Little Guy
- Crunch Boy (when he’s eating)
- Whiny Baby (when he’s feeling talkative)
Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
Mr Oxenfree!
The standard issue one is Morpheus, and the orange is his younger sister (from a different litter) Avocado Toast. Together they are the international pop duo Morphy and Toasty (don’t have anything sillier than that, though I will try to use any that get suggested).
Taco Bob often gets called Robert or Turkey Bird
Pliny is usually just Pliny or Pliny Kitty.
They’re cuties! I love the trend of having a ‘sillier’ official name and getting formal for the nickname! Is Taco Bob a big fan of tacos, or is it more of a vibe thing?
I think Pliny not being Elder or Younger is a missed opportunity though :P
Name: Nora
Nicknames: Nörchen, Norora Borealis, The Baby, Guardgoyle, My Darling, Mürzel
Norora borealis? At this time of year, at this latitude, localized entirely within your bedroom?
I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we’d often refer to him as “the monster”. Once you start calling your cat “Buddy monster” you’ll find you’re a very short distance from “monster of buddies I’m pulling your strings”.
Here’s Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:
