Names for Cats
« on: May 26, 2010, 12:06:45 PM »
My stepdaughter was driving yesterday, and came upon a cat who had been killed in the road.  There was a poor orphaned kitten next to it.  She picked it up and took it home, but her boyfriend got a bad allergic reaction.  Soooo my husband and I have yet another cat. 

What are some good cat names?  Nothing's coming to me.  It's a boy, kinda peachy colored.

what are your other cats' names?  Perhaps something related -- for example, we had a male cat whom we called "Rowlph" (Ralph) because that's what he sounded like when he meowed.  My son brought home an orphaned male kitten shortly after and we named him Randy; so we had Ralph and Randy (Christmas Story).

My 3 that are from the same litter are Skyy, Bailey, and Cocoa (but she became Cocoa Puff because she was a puffball of fur, now she's called Puff or Puffer).

Jaz was my daughter's who named her and her sister. She really named Jasamine and her sister is Cleo....both Disney "princesses"....

Runnin' Buddy named hers Stoli, Booty and BeeBee....I could figure out the first two but not the third's and didn't want to ask.... :uhsure:

Those are pretty names, debk.  Sounds like daughters of a hip wealthy family! 

Spike, Cookie, Weenie (found on Halloween), and Nora are the other cats.  How about Nick to go with Nora?  

My husband picks dumb names for pets, for some reason.  When we were dating I promptly renamed them.  Spike used to be Buckwheat (Little Rascals), and Cookie used to be Eunice (Carol Burnett show).  He once had a dog he named "Blackie."   :p

Jinx, you know I can't name him Bo, what would people think?

Nick & Nora would work.  Maybe "Bean" or "Beans" to go with Weenie?

Heyyyy -- I had a black German Shepherd named "Blackie".  What's wrong with that??? :-)

I like that one.  "Keno" for short.

Don't ask my kids.  Youngest left me a white cat before leaving for college.  Named it "Sugar Mama."  The vet, a friend (of sorts), loved to call out in a sing-song voice "we're ready to see Suuuuugar Mama now!"  aaaargh

First of all, kudos and thanks to you for being a compassionate person and adopting the kitten.  Second, I have major allergic reactions to cats and dogs but that's what allergy shots and Benadryl are for, although admittedly some people can't handle the dander even then.
As for cats' names, I consider all my guys and gals people too, so all four dogs and eight cats have human names.  Not made up shit that requires a letter by letter spelling to make it understood, but a real name like Alex, for my orange kitty for example.
I dunno, I just like using people names for my critters.  YMMV.

Hey, have you had your cat spayed or neutered, Karin?

Well, gosh, no reason not to, except "Bingo" is a dog's name.  Geesh!
