Have you considered crunchwrap supreme?

[–] zane@infosec.pub 38 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I’m thinking crunchwrap.

I mean, Crunchwrap is an amazing name. But I also think he kinda looks like the knights who say nii from Monty Python. So maybe something around that.

Oooh, a tuxedo, they're mad fkrs. Is it the Chinese people who call them cow cats? I have one. I named her Sparrow, after captain Jack sparrow. Because she's absolutely mad. No fear. She once brought a rat into my house, she's a particularly small cat, people think she's still a kitten, the rat was nearly as big as her. It was biting her, she didn't care. She was in heaven. I was holding a bucket over this rat, side note, I'm ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of rats, so I'm holding this bucket with a book, and my plan is catch and release. But I'm terrified, so I'm just holding this bucket and shaking and not really able to go near the rat. The rat got so sick of being attacked by my cat, it walked to the bucket and put itself in. Like just with, I'm done with this, vibes. And I took it outside. And ran back inside squealing ew.

So yeah. My similar looking cat is named Sparrow.

Try saying random words till the cat comes to you. When it does, repeat the last couple words till you find out what they are coming to. That is their name. That's how I ended up with a perpetual kitten named Mike Wazowski. She loved playing fetch with small balls of aluminum foil.

Give him a fully human-style name and surname, like "Dave Smith" or "Paul Wilson" or something like that.

[–] Obituarykidney@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I rescued my cat and his name was Peter Frampton. Adopted two dogs a few years later and named them Jake the Dog and Samantha Carter.

Now as a gay millennial couple, with zero desire for kids, we can tell people we have Pete, Sam, and Jake. Everyone just assumes it's three children. Great excuse for getting out of things early.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Brilliant :)

By weird chance, I was watching Stargate SG-1 yesterday (with the character Sam Carter), and also sang a Peter Frampton song at one of my cats this morning.

We have a similarly patterned cat that we named Hydrox because Oreo sounded too generic. Droxie now rules the house. Good luck naming your kitty

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 month ago

Droxie now rules the house.

This is the natural order of things.
