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.
Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.
Name: ToeKnee
Nickname: Tony
yeah, that works nicely
Name: Nomi
Nickname: Nerbals (among many, many others)
Snuggles, Struggles, and Franny.
Although we've started calling Struggles by new names such as Yappy Jackie, Gob, and Screamer.
This is Luna. Her nicknames include: Stinky Lady, Baboona, Beepy Boopa, Loons, Lunar. Plus more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
Not a cat, but I adopted a dog whose name was Doc. I started calling him Docky and that became Ducky and then he started responding to that so now that’s his name.
He has a brother named Dexter that I obviously call Goose lol
Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Bober / Boober / Luboo / Bochkin
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.
I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.
The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”
The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”
Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!
Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.
Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒
Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot
Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains
Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.
We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.
We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."
One of my cats is called Pipping but I call him Chonky (He's actually not chonky but behaves like he is.)
Big Chonk Energy
big chonk energy is real!
We have a runt who barely weighs 7 pounds but eats like a fatass. When I do the rounds filling bowls, she follows me to eat the absolute freshest food just placed.
My cats name is Jimmy and sometimes I call him Oggy, especially when he's chasing bugs (no cockroaches here but I hope you get the reference)
My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.
Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".
Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.
One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.
Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.
Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
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:
I have two void brothers.
Booker
Hollow
Both of them also get called
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn't being an orange cat.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.
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
This is Oliver. I mostly call him:
Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
Mr Oxenfree!
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 Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo
She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.
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:
My boy Mo
Or:
And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---
Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.
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 work~~
Edit: 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
Name: Aaron Purr
Nicknames: Biscuit Boy, Boffin, Little Babushka, Baaronki Paponski the Zoozahzonski, Bahba, the VP, Bisco Pisco Sour,
Omg you got your cat to sleep somewhere that's not directly on the fucking keyboard!?!? Who are you so wise in the ways of cats?
I did still have to create a profile for my keyboard called CAT which disables all buttons for when he decides to forgo the 10000 beds and little spots he has, to instead gaze at my keyboard and think "This right here? This is mine. It is bed"
The trick is having a decoy keyboard!
