    First comment! To answer the question, probably Mr. Pants.

    • evilejfan says:

      OMG!! Mr PANTS!! someone watches home movies!!

      We named our kitteh Salvadore Dali cause of the moostache she has.. we call her Salli for short.. my hubby occasionally calls her Fatasima.. wich i thought was lovely untill i figured out he was saying Fat-ASS-Ima!!!
      we also have a hammy named Professor Nibblesworth… i used to have a gerbil named Father Damien cause he stood up with his hands together like he was praying all the time!

      • coolios says:

        Wowses! Yu has a lotta funnee names fer yer petses! Mien is awl normal — Lily, Bazil, Peter, Nutmeg, Amber… Essept wen i was lil kitten i had big goldyfish which waz named Rambowdina! I dunno whar i thotta that naem, but dats wat i told mi mommy to naem it.

      • Mrs Hoffy says:

        Home Movies! My husband and I worked on that show! He animated the Mr. Pants music video :)
        Our kitties are named Miss Olivia Pibb and Black Bean Tuesday.

      • David says:

        Salvador Dali is a great name for a cat! Most cats are just bonkers and showy enough to fit that! Mine is named Stockhausen – because of what happens whenever he jumps on the piano!

    • carolsworld says:

      Our black & white kitteh is named Tiger Lily. Our gray kitteh is named Peaches. And the black tiger is named Shadow Ninja.

      • katsRme says:

        My pure white baby girl is Sammy and the older girl is Mikey (as in “hey Mikey-she likes it). I once had a beautiful calico girl named Ralf.

        • NedCat says:

          My cat was already called Ned when we got him. I think it’s a silly cat name but we could never agree on anything better. I usually just call him Silly-Purr-Face.

          See if you can guess the most common cat names in USA: http://www.sporcle.com/games/yippeeyappee/cat_names

        • Meesh says:

          I have a cat named Mikey, too – tuxedo kitty with vary cute pink-and black pads. Also proud owner of Charlotte (tabby) Shadow (black) Boomer (‘nuther tuxedo) and Bristol (big fat black kitty who is Charlotte’s brother). Apparently, he got all the fat genes in the litter! I love them all!

          • Amby says:

            I also have a tabby named Charlotte, she’s a gray tabby and named after the band Good Charlotte, but she’s not, so we call her Bad Charlotte. :-)

      • fail_of_doom says:

        Oh, I love that!

    • Bethany says:

      Mr. Pants is the nickname I have for my Andrew! He has a little white pocket in his brown pants, and that’s where he keeps his naughty. *nodding*

    • Daisy Kate says:

      My cats are called Tigger, Boroccoli and Carrot. not sure why tigger got landed with such a boring name, we had him before i was old enough to have control over naming. :)

      • Raina says:

        We have a Tigger, too! Her full name is Tigerette–my husband’s little brother rescued her from a dog’s mouth and cared for her, and when we adopted her we decided to honor the fact that his brother cared enough to name her, but we didn’t like Tigerette, so we call her Tigger for short.

        I also had a grey/white cat named Bow because he had a moustche that looked more like a bowtie, and a solid white cat named Nightshade because she was a stray and I only saw her at night at first. I know it’s a poison, but it’s still an awesome name.

    • Jim says:

      Good friend of mine has named her Maine Coon cat “Kitty Chesney” after Kenny Chesney.

    • Momcat says:

      Fuzzy Britches
      Raggamuffin
      Ryo-Ohki
      P Raider Pussycat
      MommaTish
      Blaiz
      Socks

      Some of these are mundane & some are not.

      • Anmeya says:

        Ryo-Ohki? Seriously? That’s epic XD

        I’m adopting a pure black siamese-cross (with domestic medium-hair) next week, and I dunno what to name her. The shelter calls her Nevada, but I’m not fond of the name…if it turns out to fit, so be it, but if she is anything like the last siamese-cross I shared my home with, she’ll wind up being called “Miss Smarty Pants” or “Smart Ass” anyway. And possibly “FuzzyBum” or “Trouble” on occasion.

        • Laurinda says:

          We had a black Siamese cross who we named Stoopid, but as she got older, we called her Evil: she’d climb up on your lap & trap you by looking super comfortable!
          Our other cat was Fuzzibutt, & he used to love playing fetch & cuddling. Now I can only have a cat if I get a hairless (allergies) But if I do, I might name it Fluffy!

          • DelKat says:

            For Allergies, look into a Siberian. People are usually allergic to the dander(dead skin cells) not the hair. The Siberian does not produce the protein that most people are allergic to, FD-1. You can usually get a good breeder to send you a fur sample to test.

        • Ida says:

          My black siamese-cross is named Jadziah Catz, because she has an alien in her. That’s really the only explanation for her behavior.

      • Rani says:

        I have a Ragamuffin cat named My Baby, that’s the name the breeder gave him. He’s such a lovebug, the name totally fits him. Couldn’t change it anyway because he was 2 yo when I got him and answered to it. Gotta love Ragamuffins… I will never again get a cat that’s not a Ragdoll or Ragamuffin. Wonderful breed!

    • Marie says:

      we used to have a cat called Fleas, tho my dad used to call her Cooking Fat – it was his nice way of saying fu***ng cat :)

    • grrrr says:

      i wish people would stop putting first comment on first comments because its really stupid and its not like we dont all know its the first comment

    • tinee says:

      itchy-kira-scratchy and lieutenant dan

  2. TallBurger says:

    The most unusual name I’ve ever given a kitten was Bowie. He was pure white, with one gold eye and one blue eye.

    • mags says:

      That is awesome.

      We’ve got Ollie (from Oliver), Poe and Sabrina. All pretty common. Mostly, I just call them all “kitty.”

      • claire says:

        hey i also have a beautiful ginger cat called Oliver! (twist) but i usually just call him squidgers!!

        • Tracy Thompson says:

          I have a dog named Smokey and a dog named Jag. We call Smokey the smokey smokerton and Jag is the Beaner… not sure why but there you have it. My first dog was called Dehohgee, as in D O G.

    • Amber says:

      I have twin brother and sister black cats named David Bowie and Joan Jett!

    • Lady_Rei says:

      Ziggy Stardust
      Tennessee Tuxedo
      Yahtzee
      Oliver the Earl of Abbington

    • Sari Fitzgerald says:

      As in David? Awesome name. We have a bunny named Craig Rabbit – for Craig Mabbit of Blessthefall, The Word Alive and, currently, Escape the Fate.

  3. poussinboi says:

    Nawt a patch awn wot hi had in mynd !!

  4. DrGizmo says:

    Mai kittehs ar cawled Gizmo, Moxie adn Marmite – nuffing partikularlee orijinul dere, ai wud haf fort…

    • Clio says:

      I also have a Moxie girl. She is named for the soda as she is bright orange like a can of Moxie. How did you arrive at that name? (Our other little guy is Jedi. We were watching The Empire Strikes back when we found him…)

      • DrGizmo says:

        Ohai, Clio! We got Moxie as a rescue kitten and she was the only one of her litter who was able to be rehomed. When we brought her home, she stood up to the two resident kittehs and had established her territory in the family cat bed within a few hours! So we figured that she had a helluvalotta Moxie and that became her name :)

  5. dhump says:

    I have a cat when I was a kid who was named Captain Whiz-bang.

    Bestest cat evar <3

    • caiterd says:

      i grew up with the story of Captain Whiz-bang! We never found the perfect black and white kitteh to carry that name.

  6. not to wurry, a roze by enny uther name wud smell as sweet

  7. annonymous says:

    We named one of our cats Nummymuffincocoolbutter. All one word. Any fan of MST3K (before SciFi/SyFy) will get it. Yes she’s fluffy and leaves her hair on everything! But she’s a real cutie!

  8. James says:

    I had two cats once (brothers) and my partner and I couldn’t agree on names for them, so they became:

    Black One and Brown One

  9. MadAlchemist says:

    Being a Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy fan, I had two cats called Zaphod and Jeltz.

    • termite says:

      You named a cat after a Vogon?!
      Zaphod’s cool though.
      I wonder if there are any Slartibartfasts around? Slarty for short, of course.

      • Bradie says:

        I work at Cat Haven in Perth so I shall name a cat Slartibartfast next time I’m in the sorting room.

      • Vikavid says:

        When I was growing up, we had a family friend who named their two cats Zaphod Beeblebrox and Slartibartfast.

        I currently have one Dyson, an Edgewood Dirk, and a Hallo-weenie (all black, found on halloween night one very cold & snowy halloween), Holly for short, but should be devil-cat. She truly lives up to Basement Cat status.

  10. Blueskittymama says:

    Jake and Elwood Blues–they are brothers. Loving the name Senor Nachos!

  11. Katz says:

    We had a rescue cat that someone had thrown out of a moving car. It tore off his bottom lip. Vet said he’d never survive cause he probably couldn’t eat. He lived to be 10. His name? Chinless Harold.

    Had a friend who named her kitten Velcro because he clung to everything with his liddle kitteth clawz. Awww………..

    • Maddie says:

      I had a Static! She got her name the same way as Velcro did. I actually considered Velcro, but decided it didn’t work as well for her as Static did.

      My family has also had a litter of kittens named Shimmy, Baggy, Jackpot, Starbuck, and Sparky.

      But my cat with the weirdest name was probably Titty. We called him Titty Kitty most of the time. That’s right. HIM. We had him when I was a little kid, and I had no idea what his name insinuated, or that it didn’t really fit a boy cat.

      • Anmeya says:

        That’s an adorable story :D

      • Sam says:

        I have a tuxedo cat named Sticky Rice. She too “sticks” to everything, including legs as I’m leaving the house. She is also called Tipsy because when she’s not acting like a crackhead, she’s acting like a drunk teenager who talks way too much.

  12. banksyfan says:

    Not our cat but a freinds…. the whole family wanted something different and to settle the argument the cat’s full name became Tutu-poppydon-pooper-kitten-fluff. Although the family member that picked Tutu was pretty much the winner as few ever bothered to call the cat anything other than Tutu.

    • Reonyea says:

      Lol, we did that to a hamster once. He became Wilberforce Bob Something-in-the-middle Cuthbert Godzilla. ‘Something-in-the-=middle’ was actually one of his names.

  13. Tracy says:

    mai kitteh’s name be Tiger! but he no acts lyk a tigr…

  14. Jason says:

    My cat’s name is Professor Von Whiskersen.

    • luckie_duckie says:

      Naimd for smartz, rite? I has foar, all wif neat naimz, but teh “smart” naim iz ARCHIMEDES, after teh mathematician and inventerr.

    • tortiemom77 says:

      We once rescued a Russian Blue from a bad playground scene. Even when he was so small that his eyes were still purple and his tail still triangular, he was a very serious animal and required a name with sufficient dignity. After a number of days went by, we finally came up with Dr. Frobisher T(he) Katz, Frobie for short. Or Mr. Anklebiter or Fuzzburger or many other names that weren’t politically correct. Bless him, he lived to be nearly 17 years old. Long before that we had a tabby called Fur Faced Fred but he had to be out-placed when we moved. Snf.

  15. katwag says:

    Me adn my sisster aer named Sneakers and OliviaLiliwhyteSweetySweetGirl. U can deeside if one uv doez iz wackee…

    • dmcloren says:

      Aw, I love Sneakers! I have 2 orange cats: Dusty (named by my young son after a street sweeper on a Mighty Machines vid!) and Punkee (short for Punkin but I think we shoulda named him Basketball). 2 Black & Whites: Oreo and Itty Bitty (aka Cutie Patootie). 4 feral kittens, names not completely decided yet: Toby/Tubbie, Twinkie/Blondie, Sooti and Grayson Pennington Esquire III. (If this one turns out to be a girl she’ll be Graycie.) =D

    • Rani says:

  16. Only cat of mine that has a ‘unique’ name would be the kitten, Sindragosa Lou (originally just ‘Sindragosa’ because a friend said to call her something geeky, but we ended up calling her Sindee Lou).

  17. Anne says:

    a former boss of mine allowed her daughter to name their cat.
    he’s a black cat with white paws and some white on the belly.
    boss’s daughter, who was 4 or 5 at the time, named him DR. SUNNY MITTENS!

    additionally, i had a friend who’s cat was named pantalones-zapatos!

    • mandieville says:

      lmao pants-shoes i like it all i got is a rahjah-prince-houdini cause he acts like a spoiled brat (that’s what you get when you have to hand feed a kitten) and he’s especially good at escaping from things. oh and a shannon christina leto cause that drummer is my favorite.

  18. Betty says:

    I had a kitteh named The Leewit after a character in “The Witches of Kares”. Great book!

    • Greywolf the Wanderer says:

      IS great book!! Likey mucho, mucho, me.

      Mai kittehs named The Carpet Weasel, Lallycat the Longtail Dingaling, and da Snickerpuss.

      Wun tiem Ai hadz kitteh name Olias of Sunhillow, for da album… Geek luvs, Ai haz dem ;-)

      Mai mate had kitteh name Ivan da Bedbug…

    • anom says:

      yes, & great name! i loved that book–for a while i was rereading it every year.

      my previous 2 cats were named runcible (from edward lear–the pobble’s aunt jobiska had a “runcible cat with crimson whiskers”! in addition, of course, to the runcible spoon in “the owl and the pussycat,” & mr. lear himself wore a runcible hat) & quizzical (for her expression, & because it went w/”runcible”). i called them tzibele (which is yiddish for onion) & quizzic.

      my current cat was a rescue kitten, from my bldg’s. courtyard. i wasn’t planning to keep her, so i just called her things like li’l kitten, li’l critter, li’l cat…when i had to take her to the vet & tell them her name i just called her Lil! she’s curled up next to the computer right now….

      if i have time later i’ll tell you the names of the cats my family had when i was a kid!

    • Homerista says:

      Yesh, kittehluvvin LOLcat peeples wud luv “Wiches of Karres.” Mah currint kitteh namd Towcester, best former kitteh namd Vlad the Inhaler.
      But weerdest kitteh name I no wuz Clayton Asteroid.

  19. k@ the custard fairy says:

    …. erm Dave, Barry, Jeff and Steve. I have just realised I have a serious pet naming problem.

    • eagleghostwind says:

      LOL maybe, but try to think out side the kitteh litter box.

    • Hee…I’ve had some silly ones.

      Jeremy and Jess
      Morgan la Fey
      MacGonigal (this was pre-Harry Potter, too)
      Strider and Goldberry
      Rocky and Adrianne
      Harriet and Hester
      Oliver
      Abby Normal and Marty Feldman
      Agatha Heterodyne
      Thorn

    • Izzymom says:

      A friend of mine’s dad named the animals when she was growing up, and they were all people names (Fred the mutt, Judy the bassett hound, Shannon the beagle, Charlie the collie, Barbara the poodle). The only animal NOT named a people name (and she said she was shocked by this) was Honeyrocket the show horse.

    • Static says:

      No, you’re just being original. I mean, how often do you find a cat named “Steve”? (Though a friend of mine once had one called Kieth.)

  20. mysha says:

    I had a marbled tabby that had bulleye’s on either side of his body ….so I combined my love for reggae music with a classic movie star and ended up with ” Omar(I shot the)Sharif.

    • Janet of Gar says:

      Love it! And, now, I will have that song going through my head all day (not a bad earworm, as earworms go)!

  21. Juli C. says:

    My kitteh is named Suki Harajuki. My friends have 2 kitties named Shark and Sushi. A coworker named her kitten Knismesis, and another coworker used to have a cat named Sparkle Pussie.

    • Badtien says:

      I really like the names Shark and Sushi! I wanted to call my 2 white kitties Vis and Vogel (which is Dutch for Fish and Bird), but ended up with Stink and The Flufster. My black one is called Ogri (Sranang for evil, sweetest cat ever though!) and I have a red little devil named Lucifer. At first I named her Ms. Lancelot Fuzzybottoms, but she is not noble enough to have such a name, Lucy suits her so much better!

      • Macodi says:

        Awesome, my cat’s name is also Lucy (in the sky with diamonds). It’s because my father is a huge fan of the Beatles. A friend of mine has a cat called Pixel which is a really cool name I think.

      • Homerista says:

        Frens of mine had kitteh namd LuciFur. EEbil she wuz too!

    • kiki139 says:

      Ooh, ‘nother Sushi. Thats my kitteh’s name too. Likes to roll herself up like a maki roll. But plz don’t eat the kitteh. :D

      Her sis who i don’t know where she is got named Sunrise, and she lives with another cat whose name is Tequila. ^^

  22. Spaetlese says:

    Personally my cats were all named when I was young so nothing exciting there, but I know of two interestingly named felines of friends – one is called Monargh which is short for Monster! Argh! since the poor thing had to have facial reconstructive surgery after an accident. The other was called Bol Weevil, as you do.

  23. Matt says:

    Esmerelda Matilda.

    • Bobbi says:

      You had a Cabbage Patch doll when you were a kid, didn’t you?

    • Roxy says:

      I have an Esmeralda that we call Mer-mer but the inspiration is from Disneys Hunchback of Notre Dame (Back then I had dogs named Lady and Tramp too).
      Now Mer-mer has to put up with 2 rescue cats named Hermione Granger (Miney for short) and Black Eyed Pea (he goes by Blackie).

  24. Kathy says:

    My two fuzzy boys are called Chuckasaurus and Vomitus Maximus because they are always having reverse noms.

  25. Heidi says:

    Lady P Disconugget

  26. miniminsmum says:

    Juss Auzzie adn Frosty (aka minimin) still wiv us!

  27. KingCrunch says:

    “Darth Vader”, because she had a disease, which makes her wheeze all the time. Quite annoying, if you want to sleep ;)

  28. Meredith says:

    Hazmat — AKA Hazel Matilda Pyewacket [last name redacted]

    • Khat says:

      Oh, I have a Piawakit, different spelling, but same pronunciation. My sister named him after a cat my mother had when she was a kid, and I don’t know why she originally gave that name. It kind of looks Native to me, though. And my other sister has a tom she calls Sparx, after the dragonfly in the Spyro game series.

  29. amycatsrq says:

    I had a cat named Mr. Enigma, Mr. E (pronounced Mystery) for short. Because I had no idea why my husband got him.
    We also had a cat named Meathead and a polydactyl female kitty named Bruno. I wrote a song about Bruno:

    Who’s the cat with twenty two toes?
    Bruno Bruno
    Why’s Bruno have twenty two toes?
    Who knows? Who knows?
    Who knows why Bruno’s got twenty two toes?

    • Zenkatzer says:

      lol!!
      I too had songs for a kitteh. It was sung to the tune “Buffalo Gals” and it was for our beloved Kukla, who was a bit zaftig. It was;
      Sausage Gal woncha come out tonight
      Come out tonight, come out tonight
      Sausage gal woncha come out tonight
      and dance by the light of the moon beams
      Then we’ll POUNCE and eat all the mice
      Eat all the mice, eat all the mice
      Then we’ll POUNCE and eat all the mice
      AND DANCE BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON BEAMS!

      this was sung very badly, and very loudly. She always loved it.
      Of course she never saw a mouse in her life but she enjoyed her triumph vicariously.

  30. Snow says:

    Admiral pancake. That’s wonderful.

    Anyhoo, one of my cats is named Taco. I rescued him, and he had already lost one eye, and I managed to save the other. I groomed him, rid him of his flees and ticks, got him fixed (the previous ‘owner’ swore to me 6 times he was fixed, and it was impossible to see through his thick fur) and saw him lighten up, and I’ve had him for a year now. He’s completely turned around, and he’s just crazy as a Taco. For as far Taco’s can be crazy. He’s also one of those cats you got to love, and I know very people that don’t like Taco’s ;D

  31. 2blackcats says:

    Schrodinger. Poor kitteh, made him para..paran… everso nervous, cos of never bein quite sure if him’s alive or dead…

    (From the TV show Still Standing.)

  34. Bill54 says:

    Gradus ad Parnassum (named by an organist)

    • d00d_wif_a_kitteh says:

      I had a rescue kitteh named Biggs – not all that odd, except that he was a BIG kitteh who liked the piano keys – since I are an orgelspieler meinself, I named him Biggs, after E. Power Biggs.

  35. Lucas says:

    My cats are named:

    Kaboom Misa Cook

  38. Deb says:

    Blixa, Ianto and Isis.. of course the nicknames they acquire are even more entertaining.

  39. arlo says:

    we have to call her kitty – she won’t tell us her real name

    • Rani says:

      You have to listen when she tells you.

      Our marmalade tabby is named Rao (rhymes with cow). If you ask him, he tells you raooo.

      After we figured his name out, we told a cat-friend who was off at college, studying Chinese. She said in Chinese, they say “It’s easy to turn your mother into a horse” as the words for mother and horse are very similar, only slight tonal inflection’s difference. Apparently, “rao” is a Chinese word… there are four meanings, depending on the tone. One is “handsome and attractive.” That fits.
      One is “entwining” as in what he does around our feet.
      One is “annoying and distracting.” Nuff said.
      And the last is “whiskers,” as in sideburns, not cat whiskers. But still!

      So his name stuck.

      • Cheshire Human says:

        I got a kitteh named Murph, cuz thats what he said all the time to the other kitteh when I took him in “Murph, Murph”. He was abandoned by some trailer-trash, but he could say his own name!

  40. Miroku says:

    I got a cat named Baron Otto Von Kittystein.

    • Astramentous says:

      Heh. One of my Siamese is named Baron Ognian Von Scootenheim. Got baron and ognian out of the girl genius webcomic – scooteneheim because he makes noises like a tiny scooter when he’s being playful.

  41. Trinity says:

    Names I’ve heard of:

    Dirty Face
    D.O.G. (pronounced Dee Oh Gee)
    Skippy John Jones

  42. Blou says:

    My cat’s named Captain Big Balls.
    I had a cat named Bear-Pinguin, too.

  48. siorghra says:

    Our cat’s name is Puck, after A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We also call him “Pucky” when he’s being nice and “Shut up jerkface” when he’s not.

  49. Dave says:

    Pardon my human-like language while I answer.

    The movie, “Go” had a beautiful cat named “Princess Leia Lucky Buttons.” Good movie, awesome cat name.

    • Katie says:

      “Go” is hilarious. I thought I was the only person who’d seen it. You, sir, have just made my day.
      I named my cat Princess Lei Lucky Buttons:)

    My cats usually get average official names like Puff, but end up with silly nicknames, like Princess Meow (talks a lot) or Captain Midnight (stays out late).

    “Admiral Pancake”. I like that one.

  55. rasia says:

    my previous kitty name was Mrs Frau

  61. Kate says:

    My friend’s cat’s name is Kitty Awesome. Needless to say, Kitty Awesome’s personality is a little less than awesome. She trapped four cat shelter workers in a basement just by standing at the top of the steps and scaring us all!

  62. Diane says:

    I named one of my kittens “Puppy” and another “Monkey. Otherwise its been names like, Kitty Kitty, Miss Virginia, Grandma, Little Momma, Tipsy (cause the tip of her tail is white), Leo, Princess, Mazda, Meyada (I guess that was kinda unique I even put it on my licence plate)

  63. trouble923 says:

    I work at a shelter and we’ve had cats called Joe Stallion and Knightrider.

    Jet black cat: His Holiness the Absence of Light
    Orange crazy cat: Tangerine, the 5th Earl of Catnip

  65. Daedalus says:

    Our cat was called Playboy, because we thought he’d become the neighbourhood’s biggest playboy.

  66. Mempei says:

    Decided I wanted to get a smoky, grey male kitten and call him Horatio. Ended up with a black, female. Still called her Horatio – suited her better than it would have any other cat.

    Had trouble finding the right name for my last cat. Took him outside just 12 weeks old and tried to keep him off one particular part of the garden. He looked up at me with a twinkle in his eyes and I knew his name had to be Bart (Bart Simpson).

  67. BDX says:

    The Notorious K.I.T. (aka, Kittie Smalls)

  68. My orange cat is named Soap. My son was about 20 months old when he came up with it.

  71. Kate says:

    One more! Our outside neighborhood cat is named Michael Jordan. We have a whole basketball thing going with the strays but Larry Bird died (RIP) and so did Kareem Abdul Jabbar (RIP). I love watching people’s faces when we call out to Michael Jordan.

  72. DoodliePoo says:

    Elmo Macaroni. My bestest kitteh that ebber, ebber wuz, in teh hole wide yoonibers.

  73. AltGrendel says:

    Hoover.

    My wife always wanted a pet named Hoover, but she thought we were getting a dog. :)
    Now we have a female cat named Hoover.

    • Paigeygirl says:

      Does Hoover nom noms off the floor? My neighbor’s cat is named Kirby for that reason.

      • Divakitty says:

        Mine too! He vacuums up all the kibble! The shelter called him Colonel, which didn’t appeal to me and Kirby was similar-sounding and much more appropriate!

    • NatureGeek24 says:

      That’s my dog’s name– although he’s hardly bigger than a dustbuster.

    I had a Clio Fuzz. Current cats are Sam, Angus Orion (informally known as Gustopher Roo), and Thames River.

  76. labell says:

    I am currently sitting next to a little orange kitten named Mimosa!

    I…named my cat Ghanima, after watching Children of Dune one too many times. Turns out a friend named her cat Alia a few months later.

  79. Even Kitty Mommy says:

    My old friend was Galadriel Woodsong. She passed away at the age of 19. Everyone else called her Putza, because she had a habit of putting random things where she felt they belonged, hence, she Putzas Tings Pwaces (her nickname given by my Mom).

    My other friends, also passed on now, were Georg-Achilles and Fredegar-Sophocles.

  80. OtakuTom says:

    About 25 years ago, my family had a cat named Inspector Clouseau…crasiest cat I’ve ever seen.

    I’m still trying to come up with a name for whatever cat I end up adopting next (if I ever end up adopting one…allergies are saying no to that, though…guess I gotta stick with the goggies)

    • Flipflop says:

      If your alergies are a recent thing, then you can possibly have a cat.
      I developed alergies after leaving a cat-filled home and have had them for 10 years.

      I’ve recently (2 months ago) got cats of my own and my alergies have cleared up.

      Sometimes your body can just get used to cats.

      My Cats are called Fu and Bar :)

    • NatureGeek24 says:

      Dous oar kitteh bite?

  81. Maria says:

    My cats are Angelus (Angel’s evil vampire self from “Buffy” and “Angel”), also known as Kitty Potter due to his choosing my Harry Potter books to sit on (Kitty P for short), Drusilla (Spike’s crazy vampire paramour on “Buffy” and “Angel” as well) and Wilfred John Smith aka Wilf aka Wilfy, the baby, named for Wilfred Mott (Donna Noble’s Grandpa) and the name the Doctor uses whenever he has to give it on “Doctor Who.”

  82. Cheryl says:

    My cats are Bonzai and Tootie

  83. Katie says:

    Carlitos Ninos san Gimpy (because he had a busted leg that healed incorrectly causing him to limp)

  84. ezzie says:

    we had “fugly” cause he was, “ginger megs”, “elfa” cause he went elfa leather into the saucer of milk we put down, “bib” & “bub” cause they were identical twins, “rascal” but dad wanted to call him “someone else’s” and the grand master “gandalf” and believe me you couldn’t pass him he was soooo big!

    Radar has HUGE ears. There had been a couple of martinis had when I decided Noodles was the perfect name for a cat.

  93. Rebecca says:

    My most unusual cat names were Squeaker (because he talked to much) and Arkady, the Russian-speaking cat. He was names Arkady (and occasionally called Ar-kitty) because every time he heard Russian language on the tv, he would purr and try to rub against the tv. It was too cute!

    My wife and I have two cats named Jinxi and Rascal. I know the second one is fairly common, but we like the first. My sister in law has previously named cats Don Gato and Mysterio Gato.

  98. Cluegirl says:

    We named a cat “Grenade” once.

    And then for the rest of her life we dreaded losing her in an airport…

  99. Rachel says:

    I named a cat Bus because when I picked him up, he “purred like a motor-bus”. Later, I realized it should have been “boat”, but the name had already stuck.

    Also, I named a litter of kittens after characters from Austin Powers:
    *Miss Kensington (Kensie)
    *Number Two – the second one born
    *Random Task – markings around his eyes that made him look Asia
    (and then my mom named one Pudgy Smudgy)

  101. Alison Nally says:

    My Siamese princess has the name Genghis Khan – the mightly Oriental warrior. My daughter names her dogs after forts – Knox and Riley…

  102. Meg says:

    Ida Clare. although I’m thinking “Sneazy McSneazypants” might be more appropriate today. Good thing we’re going to the vet on Friday for her first kitten check-up.

  103. Beckie says:

    My family likes creative cat names. My dad had a cat named Baby Dumpling and one he named Hot Toast (because it looked like hot buttered toast). His family wouldn’t let him name kitties after that. Growing up we had a Gandolf, a Jarvis, a Sylvester, a Magic and a Sir Low Belly (as a kitten he would eat untill his belly drug on the ground!). I now have a Pip Squeak. He was a rescued feral kitten and he was TINY! Now he is is HUGE! Tall and Long and about 13lbs! Gotta love those crazy kitty names!

  104. Melba Toast says:

    We have one named Loki and one named Scurvy Pete (he’s a pirate).

  105. Iain says:

    Oh, former English majors.

  108. Difyance says:

    I have one cat that’s all black named Alikor. It’s Drow for “shadow dark”, as he loves to chase shadows.
    I adopted two kittens a couple years ago and named them Crash and Glitch. Yes I’m a computer nerd, and they live up to their names. Crash is constantly knocking things over and pushing things off of shelves. Glitch runs into things a lot and meows constantly, no one knows why. I don’t think he does. He’s a little slow too. :)

    • Phyregdss says:

      HA! Glad to see I’m not the only one who took Drow as a starting point for a name. :)

    • Greywolf the Wanderer says:

      we had a little rescue cat called Crash once, she’d been head-injured and was srsly wacked! Then we got another rescue cat in a fire so we called him Burnie the Firebug, and then the two of them were headlines Crash and Burn! ;-) >

  109. MACATX says:

    I once had a cat who was born in the Pentagon parking lot. He was so tiny when we got him we didn’t know if he was a boy or girl. My mother named him “Beach Plum” after a flavorless fruit that grows on the Massachusetts coast. She said we couldn’t yet tell what “flavor” he was. Even so, he turned into a mighty hunter!

  110. susie says:

    I named my first cat “Guiding Light”, after watching the soap opera with my grandmother. The cat and I never lived it down. His veterinarian couldn’t even bring himself to say the name. He just called him GL.

  111. sadie rhea says:

    My cat’s name is Faygo Mariah Nickelodeon. It started out as just Fay, but one day I decided that like all human children she needed a full name for when I get scold her for something, lol. I chose Faygo because of my own personal reasons, I thought Mariah was pretty, and a long time ago I had a friend that dated someone whose last name was Disney, and this prompted me to want to change my own last name to Nickelodeon.

    Our oddest cat name was: “Princess Powderpuff, cause she ain’t got no tail”

  118. sshadows says:

    Purr Diem and Chairman Meow are actually pretty clever!

    My cousin, last name Daniels, rescued a kitten from a sewer when he was in college… named it Jack… just for the amusement of having the vet file read ‘Jack Daniels’.

    I currently have a Tyson, but he’s a senior boy and came to me with his name firmly in place.

  119. Steff says:

    Penthesilea- love you, my little angel

    • X says:

      That’s an awesome name – I love the play by Kleist. I tried to get my boss to name her bulldog pup Penthesilea, but she decided on Ember (boring!) instead.

  120. Maule says:

    Torino – named after the car that she was trapped under the hood of;
    and Heffy – he was three times the size of the other kittens and was born during the commercial ‘Hefty, Hefty cinch sack” and at about 6 weeks of age he turned his butt to a picture of Hugh Heffner on TV and shook his tail at him……LOL!!!

  121. innai says:

    Timothy, Alexandra, Stephen and Michael – simply because they are humans in little, cute, fluffy bodies, so they get human names.

  122. Freon says:

    Lola Falana-pus – because she wasn’t coordinated when she was little bitteh kitteh.

  123. Darkailleam says:

  124. Julia-In-Pajamas says:

    After living with my sister for many, MANY years I was able to buy my own house. I found the perfect home on my way to work one morning. It was a “FOR SALE BY OWNER” and people in the real estate business call that a FISBO. After moving in I adopted two kittens from the local Humane Society and just HAD to name one of them Fizbo. The other one I named Bullet for giving me the courage to be on my own.

  125. Sanguine says:

    My cat’s called Mittens, which is very common, so I usually call her Fluffamuffin, Mitzi, Puffy, Poof and such.

    A friend of mine’s got a cat called Mandu. (Get it? Cat Mandu?) I love that name :)

    Pixel Penelope Prune-puff is one of my current benevolent feline overlords… Pixel is the cat who walks through walls in Robert Heinlein’s books.

    Then there is Nori – her fluffy black tail waves like seaweed when she runs.

    And my other LBC (little black cat) is Kali… my little many armed goddess of destruction.

    My felines emeritus were named Isis Astarte Demeter Kali Inanna, and Zuzu’s Petals… yes, from It’s A Wonderful Life.

      Love the goddess names! My parents have a spectacular cat named Bucca Dhu (pronounced Boo-ka-doo). My mother used to foster & bottlefeed orphan kittens for the Humane Society, and this kitty came all by himself, only hours old. He was born with teeth, and I was 7 at the time and into mythology so I gave him the name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucca_(mythological_creature)
      He has lived up to it, too. He is the biggest cat I have ever seen and very intimidating. He’s mellowed out with age though – really he’s a big baby. :D

  130. Gabriel says:

    My kitty is called Sparky. I want a ginger tom to call Crookshanks, like in the Harry Potter books. :)

    We also had a cat named George, who really responded when referred to by his full name, “Jorge (pronounced “Yorg”) the Magnificent, Master of All He Surveys and Dominator of Mice.”
    And then there was “Babinski”…

    Fumada (Spanish for puff of smoke)– we call her Fufu or Nucking Fucklehead when she’s being obstinate.
    Murgatroyd (Heaven’s to Murgatroyd!)– we call her Moogie (a nod to Star Trek DS9) or Muffin.
    Zucher (German for sugar)– We call her Zuzu, or the evil rotten schnitzelheimer.

    Yeah, so I have some weird cat names. In the past there have also been Ygdrasil, Schwartze Katz, Bouche, and Kruroj.

  144. My cat’s full given name is : Bestest Most Beautiful Baby Bongo Bee, Tormentor of Her Royal Highness Tiltness -O-Whirl. That is his actual name on his veterinary file. His name is Bongo and Tilt is my husband’s older female calico.

    My family’s cat liked getting close to the warmth from the furnace, but one day there was no grate over the opening and she fell into the ducts and had to be rescued! So we named her Pipecleaner. :D

      • um, i meens ~ tee hee……

        • kazkat says:

          hehe.
          I had a cat called ‘Smokey’ – lived up to his name the day he hopped into the Chimera (outdoor chimney thingy)..such a little ratbag! But so wish I had a better name for him..

    • Murgatroyd says:

      lol! My grandfather had a taste for strange cat names, and there were three cats who were particularly fond of the wood stove – so he named them Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego. :P (obscure biblical reference, for those who don’t know)
      They also had a siamese named Salmonella (Sam for short), a calico named Columbine (but grandpa insisted on calling her Calomine), a grey and white named Ooops (she was the 11th cat o.O) and a tabby named Clopperstürken, which is the German word for rattlesnake.

  160. Well, my very first pet, a cat was named St. Popo Black Whiskers. We couldn’t agree on one name, so she had four. Sadly, shes no longer with us. We had to give her away;.;

    Our handsome boy is Gerry Edfu

  162. welshie says:

    My bengal Eithne is known as Stripey-duck, or alternatively Dipey-struck. It’s from a series of kids’ books popular in Germany by a guy called Janosch…

  163. Jen says:

    A well-known American opera singer, alas now dead, called her cat Knickers because she loved to get home after a performance, throw open the back door, and yell “Knickers” at the top of her voice!

  164. Sarchasm says:

    We inherited a black& white tuxedo from a friend of ours who had to give him up. He’s a big cat – partly fat, but partly just big.

    We named him “Moo Cow.”

    • amychan says:

      we had one like that too, a black & white calico… “moo cow” but we made it into “mooky” for convenience.

  165. Norrie says:

  171. Tux says:

    We had a little grey tiger that we named “Chester Dammit”. Chester because he had a cute checkered chest and belly, and “dammit” because that was what you always yelled. CHESTER DAMMIT, get out of there, CHESTER DAMMIT, stop clawing that carpet…. etc… etc.

  172. Macroscope says:

    Verfremdungs-effekt (no, it wasn’t me, my former room mate was an actor). Rip, awesome kitty.

  173. Christina says:

    I have Nyx. Named after the goddess of darkness and night. She’s almost all black. Bella is her little sister. It was the name that stuck after trying a few names.
    Phoebe is my mom’s cat. It fits perfectly because she’s almost all white with some calico markings. Phoebe means fair headed one.

  174. Jane says:

    My last kitteh was named Fin. When he found me, he was a 6-month teenaged kitteh who had been ‘tossed’ by his last people. He was so skinny that he looked like a dorsal fin, hence the name Fin. He lived to be only 10 and a half, but he was fat and indulged and happy for all of those 10 years.

  175. AJ says:

    I use to have a cat called Meow Pussycat Mc Wiskerton. All my friends use to laught at me calling him from my back door “Meow, Meow”. I must have looked stark raving mad!

  176. MerC says:

    The black kitteh with green eyes that owns me is named Presto. (His full name is Presto Change-O) but he only hears this name when his hooman is most displeased with him…which for a basement kitteh isn’t often (he is spoiled). :)

  177. bufi44 says:

    All of my cats have been named for warriors/warrior gods. So I’ve had Genghis, Napoleon, Ares, Mars, Attila, Joan of Arc, Razputin, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, etc. I even had a dog named Ivan the Terrible. LOL

    Obby, as in “Is is Ubby – - no, Obby… NO… Abby… is ABBY home?”

  179. aimalyn says:

    I had a cat that was uncreatively named Peanut. My next cat we named Purrl, because she purred almost constantly, however she squeaks when she’s not purring, so she earned the second name Squeaky or Squeakachu.

  180. kanth says:

    I named my cat ‘cinnamon’, but sometimes I call him troll or fatcat (although he is not fat…) :)

  181. Anne says:

    We have one named Tudor (tooter) cause he farted a lot as a kitten; had one named Ajax (like the cleanser); mom named one Woody cause we found her in a stack of lumber (she had NO idea what that meant in slang terms!); we have Marco, Polo, Leo, Peanut, Walter, Achmed, Bunny (a bobtail that hops when she runs); Thomas, Crusoe, Whitey (or YT for Yellow Tom); Merle, Patches, Smokey, Pokey…and others too numerous to mention.

  183. compassstl says:

    Recent names of my and friends’ cats:
    Singe
    Faux Paws
    C@
    and the family cat I had when growing up was Cajean (who lived to be almost 24! Without regular vet visits and just eating Friskies) which, if you hear it, sounds like a kid saying “kitty”.

  184. Romain says:

    Out black and white cat’s name is “Crashtest”.

  185. Anne T. says:

    Let’s see… CeeCee, Idgie (from Fried Green Tomatoes), Bubbles, MishMish (means apricot in Arabic) and… (trumpet blaring): Charlie Alpha Tango!!!!!

  186. Cheshire Human says:

    I had a kitten once (then he grew up and lived 16 years) that I couldn’t think of a name for. I got him before he learned to use the litterbox, and he’d do his bit on my floor. When I finally got him to use the box, I told him “congradulations, you are no longer a s***head, you are just a Puddin’ head.” Then I realized that’s a great name for him. He was Puddin’ ever since.

  187. Marilyn Evans says:

    Our dearly departed Edward R. Merrow (vaguely after the famous news dude) was also affectionately called Pounce de Leon.

  188. Neko-bug says:

    Our herd is Spur of the Moment – Spur for short, Starz -aka princess fussybottom and Sunny B – almost always called Bug. And after a particularly distructive day they are collectively known as Duke Pukem and the Puke Pistols.

  189. Kristopher says:

    Screamer- cause he never meowed always screamed
    Knightmare- all black kitty who was kind and sweet but loved mischief
    Jew Kitty (no offense)- cause he was all white with a gray spot on his head that looked like a yam aka
    Kali- Goddess of mayhem and destruction aka Kali Mali Mah
    My friends cat is Nightwish

  190. Lyndyloo says:

    I had a fantastic cat called Trinculo – the clown character from The Tempest. Also a grey tabby/siamese cross with the longest legs and always looked like she was on her tiptoes with a very long tail that she used to wrap around your legs – we called her Flirty Gerty.

    And last but not least my beautiful long haired persian who I got as a rescue cat – we called her Gizmo because she makes a noise just like the gremlin but she also has a nickname; when we got her she had cat flu and due to the tear ducts being blocked now has constantly overflowing brown gunk around her eyes which look like badly applied eye-liner – so we call her Barbara Cartland.

  191. aussielung says:

    Had a kittah called Josafeline once. Name suited her, she was very proper.

  192. stéphanie says:

    i called my cats Quetzal and Merlin but their nicknames are Qetzalou and Merlinouche or the chouchous (they’re french)

    • Rebecca says:

      My mother had rescued a family of strays- Momma, Daddy, and 5 babies. All were found homes except the least social baby female. My mother had started calling her “Sissy” because she wouldn’t come out from under the couch. When I took her home, I refused to called her “Sissy” because it was just rude! I named her Sicily after going through google world maps, because “Sici” is close enough to “Sissy” in case she had started recognizing the name at all, but different enough to be cute and not mean!

  194. Cassandra says:

    My cat’s name is Friendly.

  195. Shannon Lockwood says:

    My siamese is Princess Bluebell Kittywump

  202. Dread Pirate says:

    My most interesting cat names have been based off of characters, but I had a cat named Noid and I currently have a cat named Greedo. I also have a cat named Doyle, but he came with that handle from the humane society, and it fit him, so I let it be.

    • Dread Pirate says:

      Oh, and when Noid got old and had his whole career of being a total gangster behind him, his name got amended to O.G. Noid…. sometimes people just called him O.G.

    Hippo’s brother is named Ajax. He’s called Welcome to the Thunderpaws as a nick name.. mostly cause he’s huge.

The vet said that he had no broken bones or internal injuries and pronounced him “the luckiest almost-a-roadkill I’ve ever seen!”

    Luggage. She would go completely limp if you ever picked her up so you could carry her around and do anything with her.
    Puss Klap was another one that I had – awesome cat! You have to be South African to understand the last one. She was rather feisty.
    My newest kitty addition is called Starbuck after the latest Battlestar Galactica series’ female character.

  219. amychan says:

    We lived in Germany for a while and had a female cat. We named her “Frau Meow”. It was pretty epic.

    Spot

    • redlolz says:

      We have a Harvey, too.

      We already had a grey/white/cream calico that we had named Chiana after the character on Farscape. The newly adopted sometimes sweet/sometimes psycho/sometimes invisible, but all black, short-hair was named Harvey after the Scorpius|Harvey* character in keeping with the naming scheme of the house.

      We also adopted an already-named, long-haired, calico named Floofy. (Not to be confused with “fluffy”.)

      *Note: This Harvey was actually named after the 6-foot invisible rabbit in the 1950 movie of the same name.

  224. slapmastered says:

    I make it a policy to never name my kitteh’s until they display a personality or quirk that makes them unique.

    That said, my current two kittehs are named Indiana Jones and Gimpy.

    Indiana Jones was named such because, at the age of about 3-4 weeks, while most of his litter-mates were still suckling at mom’s belly and not moving much, he was out climbing the porch furniture (which was about 20 times as tall as he was…we still have no idea how he did it…) and getting into things he wasn’t supposed to. When he put his little kitteh paws up on my ankle (as high as he could reach) and looked up into my face and went “mew!” well…that was all she wrote. I had been claimed.

    Gimpy is a bit of a special case. He is Indy’s half brother, a year younger, and when he was a small kitteh, he was caught beneath an opening screen door, and had his little kitten back leg broken near the hip bone. He was so little the vet couldn’t even do any surgery to fix him up. Since he didn’t exhibit any pain from it (somehow…) we decided to just watch him and see what happened. Since the break was so close to his hip, the muscles kept the leg more-or-less in position, and his rapidly growing kitty bones healed pretty fast. But for about 6 weeks, he “gimped.” Since he didn’t have a name yet, Gimpy it was.

  225. Ginger says:

    My two cats are brothers (two different litters). When the first one was born, my granddaughter named him Gateway (he looked like the computer box). When his brother was born, we just HAD to name him Dell. Now our vet calls them his “computer cats.”

  226. margomoh says:

    First came Manfred, after some character in a sci-fi book my dad liked. Then Honda and Tabby. Finally, my cat is Chao (pronounced like Cow) because as a kitten she was a unit of Chaos.

  227. FinnMacCool says:

    I can a cat named Fox….of course it was Fox Mulder and his sister, Dana Scully.

    My oldest boy is named Finn Mac Cool after the legendary Irish warrior-hero. I learned my lesson on that one…..never name your cat after a warrior, they might do what mine did and try to live up to his name.

  228. Kari says:

    We had a gray kitten that we named Nopee. We got him at my Mom’s house in Wisconsin and then brought him back with us to Kentucky. On the entire 12 hour drive he didn’t pee once.

  229. Chloe says:

    My kitty’s name is Sweet Pea Tennis Balls Mahosky!! (My little brother named her)

  230. Jane Ellen+ says:

    The black one is Talitha, (which means “little girl”) because she was so very tiny when we got her. We call her Tali.
    The grey one is Lou C. Fur, aka “The Minion.” He follows our son everywhere.

  231. volafox says:

    I adopted a black ragdoll tomcat from the beaumont shelter many years ago. he hated men, but it was love at first site for us. I took him to a vet to be fixed and whatnot which took a couple of days. I would visit him every day, and the first day when I got ready to leave, he got so upset he used the litter box~ and the stench was so evil that it cleared the office! I’m not making this up… it was foul beyond reason… so his official name was S#!tter.

  232. katnnip says:

    let me see i have had a few strange names for cats.
    Tae Cat Do
    Shredder

  234. Joanna says:

    My black cat is Nyx (Greek goddess of the Night). The orange and white tabby is Shayla-Shayla (the great priestess of fire, from an animae). The long haired cat is Moira (Celtic name that means “the one”). Our tom cat is Pi-Li-Kai (Hawaiian for trouble).

  235. almost_dr_chelleycat says:

  236. AJM says:

    I named two of our kitties “Slartibartfast” and “Trillian” after characters in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. My wife gave normal names (i.e. Bootsie) to most of the others, although two kittens are named “Speed Racer” and “Speedy Gonzales”

  237. dabroad says:

    Diarrhea was given his name because he had it so bad when I found him…a tiny, starving, flea-ridden, sodden abandoned kitteh shivering under a tree in a rainstorm. He grew up to be a truly great cat.

  238. Tim says:

    Sebastian St. Cloud (fluffy white Himalayan cat)

  239. Claire says:

    My kitteh’s name is Manja. He is named after Mt. Kilamanjaro!

  240. Nate says:

    Pawz Scaggs (instead of rocker Boz Scaggs for the uninformed). Also, I stole it from the Simpsons.

  241. Cheshire Human says:

    When I was a kid we had a kitten who’s head looked like a bat’s head, so we named her “Bat-Fink”, and called her “Finky” later, we decided that since she was a girl, it should be spelled with a PH instead of F, so she was Phinky.

  242. Lugnut says:

    My cats have been named – Lugnut, Sparkplug, Earnhardt, Labonte, Wilson, BabyBear, Piper, Potter and Precious.

  243. Al says:

    i named my cats John and Benita after the actors on play school back in the mid 90s

  250. Russ says:

    Our latest Kitty ( a rescue one, with only three legs. The vet had to amputate at the age of 5 weeks, cos of mistreatment ) is also named after the cat who walks through walls, Pixel. This was because my wife vetod my original name Schrodinger.

    • TomR. says:

      I DID have a kitty named Schroëdinger, lovely white tabby that would just appear from nowhere and never played in boxes.

  251. James says:

    Our kittens are named Newton, Tesla, and Edison. By a stroke of irony/luck, Tesla and Edison constantly fight.

  252. NoOne says:

    The original owner of my two cats brought them home to her husband as a surprise. She already had a few cats and wanted to break the two new kittens to him gently, so she put the them in bed with him while he was sleeping.

    One of them woke him up, and the first words out of his mouth to his wife were “Honey!! Two kittens?! Enough! No more!”.

    That’s what the cats were named; Enough, and No More.

    • betsy says:

      That’s how my great cat Thing got his name-I already had 4 cats and came home with a new kitten-which did not make my mother very happy-every time she saw him, she’d say “Get that THING out of here!” He was a great,sweet cat,died way too young from leukemia:( Other cats I’ve had are

    MONKEY FACE!
    I have a 15 year old cat named Monkey Face. I got her and named her when I was in second grade. Once when she got sick and had to go to the vet my mom was too embarrassed to tell them her real name, so the vet thinks her name is “Muffin”.

    • JMixx says:

      Hee! “Monkeyface” is a term I use to describe Pomeranian puppies at a particular age. When they are getting their adult coat, but still have puppy faces and short fur on their faces, they get that “monkeyface” look.

  257. Carrie Bryan says:

    His name used to be Sir Jasper Fartsalot but we got that digestive problem solved. Now he’s Sir Jasper Purzalot, Spherical Knight of the Round Table.

    Our 14-year-old black & white cat, SEC, rescued himself when he was only 12 weeks old, by climbing onto the hood of my mother-in-law’s car at the grocery store where he and his littermates had been dumped. She came out to find him crying his heart out, and it was an instant adoption. My brother-in-law named him SEC, which stands for Somebody Else’s Cat.

  261. Shandie says:

    Our kitteh is called Gryphon (but we use the easier spelling of Griffen). My husband and I play World of Warcraft and our favorite in-game mounts are called Hippogryphs. So, we went with the name Griffen. However, he has numerous nicknames: Yellow Belly, Flying Paws of Furry, Paws, Paws and No Balls, Luver Kitteh, Crazy Psyco Kitteh, Lazy Cat, and OMGthatisthebiggestkittehIhaveeverseen. That last one is what everyone says the first time they see him. When we got him, he could fit in the palm of my hand, now he is so big boned and heavy that he can’t easily be picked up. He isn’t really fat, but just thick.

    When I was in college, my girlfriend came to visit for the weekend, and someone at the bar we went to friday nite was giving away a kitten. GF decided to take him, so I kept him in my closet that weekend til she took him home. We weren’t alowed to have pets in the dorm, of course, so he was the “Illegal Cat”. IC was his name from then on. I currently have a cat that when I got him, he kept saying “Murf, Murf” to my other cat. So I named him Murf, so he could say his own name.

  272. July19 says:

    We have Calvin (all black except a perfect white thong shape between his back legs on his tummy….so we thought of a Calvin Klein model).

    And we have Gotham (all black except a white batman logo on his butt).

    I also had a turtle shell named Smudgy. So glad we aren’t the only ones to have named our cat that! She had a little smudged up nose! It made sense! Kinda.

  273. Olivia says:

    My Siamese cat was called Chairman Mao, because he used to say “mao” rather than meow! Glad to know he wasn’t the only cat given that silly name (husband named the cat).

    We have a rabbit called Cinnabunny, and dog called Jellybean.

  274. Leticia says:

    My father has a cat named Pi (yes, as in 3,14 and stuff) lol
    But what to expect from a Physicist, anyway? =]

  275. Patti says:

    I had a siamese whose name came to me in a dream: Nik Nik. Also had a tortie named Rudee Kazootie Our Little Sweet Patootie which really messed up the Christmas cards. Right now my boyz are Andy, Mooch and Bucky.

  276. spitfirecami says:

    Of all the cats I have had, I can name five that stand out as unusual in my mind:

    1) Coolness
    2) Dorito
    3) Bojangles
    4) Banzai
    5) Itty-bitty-sad-eyes

    Of course now I have cats named Sheba, Mulan, Gizmo, and Tootles, so I guess what qualifies as “unusual” is a matter of opinion.

  277. Mkamba says:

    I once gave the name of Dr. Bob Hobbes to runty, sickly rescued kitteh. I also had a kitteh named Sarah Elizabeth Einstein, but we just called her Einstein.

  278. Amrita says:

    William of Orange – AKA – William, Lord Fluffwaddle.
    A huge Maine Coon, orange in body, mind and spirit. A warm ball of honey and sunshine. Had the most amazing fluffy pantaloons in the kaboose that jiggled when he walked. He was my best friend for 17 years and passed away last summer. I was blessed to know him.

  279. Kozmokat says:

    One gingy named Kozmo (as in Kramer) and one black and white named Chef (as in South Park)

  280. Lollyanne says:

    Our cats were named as follows:

    Majin Boo (Maji-boo)
    Mitzubishi (Mitzu)
    Subaru (Susu)

    Maji is the only one currently with us, Mitzu and Susu have since followed that great ball of yarn to a better place.

  281. Deedee says:

    Just adding to the list of names of Kittehs – I had one called Bompstable.

  285. KandyGirl says:

    I have had Spats – black kitty w white spats :) , Raquel Raccoon – cuz she had the spiffy mask and ringtail, shortened to Coon, big huge fluffy “mom” cat that slept i nthe crib with us and draped over our necks at night when we were older lol. Then there was my ‘mizer name Pinnochio – he had a long nose and was REALLY crosseyed, and our witchy BC that adopted us on Halloween night that was named Ebony. Then there was Isis. And recently after not having any kitties for years, I started out with my baby Pillage – got him at a Renn Faire and totally lived up to his name. Got him a sister, little callicoco name Plunder – again totally fits her name. Pillage got sick and went over the bridge unexpectedly so I got a new brother for the Plunder, an orange tom named Loot, who is now GINORMOUS and insane and talks all the time. I am going to get him a purple collar so I can call him my Epic Fat Loot! (its a gamer thing lol)

    I had a kitteh when I was a little girl that I called Grease Bacon. Because he always jumped up to try & get bacon from frying pan. I were a strange child.

  293. Goldie says:

    My old cat I had for 15 years before his kidneys failed was named Maxamillion Ironsides Capone because he was a tuxedo but his sides turned red in the summer and he was such a gangster. My new cat now is Dean Winchester…he sees ghosts and hunts them…

    • Dan says:

      Your “next” new cat will have to be Sam Winchester!

      My (black) cats have been called Midnight Blue, Midnight Special, Midnight Angel, and currently Dark Angel and Black Bear.

  294. pinkpiddypaws says:

    My Snowshoe Siamese is named “Miao Shan” (pronounced Meow). It means “Goddess of Death and Destruction”. She really lived up to that as a kitten, now at the ripe old age of 6….not so much. :)

  295. JJ says:

    Well, the 7 year old’s name is Shadow, which is probably on the top 10 most common list, but the 11 month old we just adopted is Empress Masako (though she mostly goes by Peanut, for some reason).
