  1. Squirrellllly says:

    My cat’s name is Rant because she meows almost non-stop. But during the naming process, my boyfriend and I came up with 3 or 4 other names we liked too. Her full name is Rant Dio Kit-tat-ten Mc Tufty Ears.

  2. PJ says:

    Currently my ruling kitties are Pewterschmidt, The Totally Terrific Talking Tigger (never shuts up), and Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix (aka Felix). I have in the past been a loyal subject of Queen Caledonia, Socrates, Ice Princess, Bandito, Oscar Mew La Renta, Jade Tiger, Caleb, Elijah, and many more.

  3. Tammie says:

    We have several…Squeaky Fromm, Bucky Gimpstein, Boris & Natasha (Russian Blues) and Mini Me.

  4. Peddal says:

    I once had a cat named Ambrap. She got the name, cause she did play in the bathroom as a kitten, and got a bottle of Fiori d’Ambra over herself. She smelled nice for about a month……

  5. kat says:

    my cats:
    nyx – greek goddess of night – she’s black all over

    niglet – she was small and black

  10. Guffy says:

    Serendipity & Maxwell Von Puff’n'Stuff

  11. tamiam says:

    My kids found a cat in the Pizza Hut parking lot. It was my daughter’s turn to give the cat her first name so she chose “Supreme”. My son’s choice for the middle name was “Overlord”.

  12. Shexree says:

    My last cat was Commander Napoleon Bonaparte the Batman. He turned out to be evil D:. Now I have two kitties: Scar and Mufasa. Before Batman, I had Vato and Scrunchy.

  13. Margot G. says:

    My husband and I just got a new kitten. We named it MC Onion because it is a little trouble-maker. MC Onion comes from “Rap-scallion”. :-p We just call him Onion for short.

  14. Grapelipgloss says:

    My cats name is lipstick – blame the 5 year old. i’ve also had a cat named dumbass – mom said she wasn’t taking him to the vet with his first name (bonehead) so we changed it. I’ve also had Ruffles(because she liked chips), Oscar (who was female) and Genny (short for generic, we couldn’t come up with a name)

  15. Vic says:

    I am humble housestaff to 3 gorgeous kittehs: Lucy Mewing, JR Mewing, and Edgrr Houdini.

  16. JF says:

    Mine is a white persian cat called Mr. Snow White.

  17. wnqs says:

    barn kittehs: Frida Katlo and Duncan MacKitty

  18. Ruth says:

    Weirdest name is Troll. Short for “The Troll” (we didn’t name him, but it fits him so we kept it). We thought originally that it was for his looks (he’s an orange Peke face Persian — think the movie version of Crookshanks!) but, nope, it was for his personality!
    Second weirdest was the kitten that the person we got him from named Vasco da Gama (he and his sisters got left on her front porch — sisters were in the box and Vasco was 15′ up a tree!).
    Current cats (besides Troll) are Polychrome (after the Oz character), and Robin and Marion (we didn’t name those two, but they were 9 year old litter mates we adopted and it was too late to change them at that point).
    Previous cats were BJ (shortened from “Bit Junior”), Obilot (from the character in Wolfram von Eschenbach’s _Parzival_, because she was little and cute), Perri (which got transmogrified from “Purri”), and Byron (he was an abused Maine Coon rescue that needed a dignified name — he was a former show cat and his papers said his name was something like “Mckittycreek [something] Big Boy”]. Also, briefly, a pair of tortie strays (mother and daughter) we named Eponine — and no, she was definitely NOT a “Fantine” personality — and Cosette.
    Friends of ours have a cat named Captain Jollypaws. Some other friends used to have a cat known as Massacre (short for “Saturday Night Massacre”) who was well-named: she was known to push expensive lamps off tables, and we once watched her go after their neighbors’ red setter even though Massacre was only about 6 lbs (that was 6 lbs of Basement Cat clone, however….)

  19. Blonde Baroness says:

    I had a cat named Point of Mew. He was a tuxedo boy with an exclamation point on his face.

  20. Vicki says:

    My cat’s name is Princess Babydoll Fluffypants. She also goes by “Baby,” “Angel,” “Booby,” and “Dammitgetdown.”

  21. Michele says:

    Our Kittehs (all rescue kitties) are named:
    1) Simcha ~ Hebrew word for “Joy”
    2) Fester
    3) Princess Pippy Longstockings ~ we call her Pippy
    4) Christine ~ named for the leading female role in Phantom of the Opera because she has markings that make her look like she is wearing a mask
    5) Meows~a~Lot ~ because… well… she meows a LOT!
    6) Gots Milk ~ because his markings look as if he has a milk mustache
    7) Jim
    8) Spazzoid ~ we call her Spazzy
    9) Shorty ~ ‘cuz she’s short!

  22. Danielle says:

    My kitten’s name is Perla May Petalpaws. When I get her a brother I’m going to name him Sulu Baker Biscuit-Maker

  23. Angelsrest says:

    My mother’s ex husband named his tabby the following:

    Rampasat Harribai Spoonielal V Muckagee and the V stands for Very Good Wiekwiek Catching Walla – we just called him Muksy

  24. Hieraco says:

    My Kitties are
    Knuckles the Mafia Cat – Previous owners had her declawed :-(
    and Carmella Findus Pixel Schrödinger Rustaeus-Rennie Queen of Egypt, Ruler of Gooshie and overlord of all she surveys. (You have to say it all in one breath or she’ll ignore you)

  25. Kristine says:

    Probably the name of my current kitty, it’s Thea Elise which are both two common names for people. So whenever I speak about her people thinks she’s a sister or something.
    Other cats I’ve had only had common names such as Simba…

  26. Erik says:

    My cats are named Rear Admiral Doctor Grace Murray Hopper and Elle N’Est-Pas Réné Magritte. Before them I had a cat named The Chesapeake And Ohio Railroad.

  27. Lonemagpie says:

    We have four cats

    Eldest (16) is Her Mogjesty Katerina Kanonenkugel, aka Cannonball or K-ball.

    Next (both 11 next month) are Mistress B’Elanna and Seven Of Nine Lives, or B and Sev for short.

    Youngest (18 months) is Foxy Cleopatra, call-sign “Jingles”

  28. Matt says:

    I had a black cat named Loki who was truly mischievous – he would hide under the sink until my ex would go to do the dished and then pop out and viciously attack her ankles. And a cat named Eno, after the musician/producer.

  29. Diana says:

    Kitty-Caughtee-Cooties. Don’t judge; I was four years old.

  30. Nix says:

    My cousin named her cat Tequila Sunrise. Tequila’s two kittens names are Obby (for he has many toes, short for Oddball) and Margarita.

    My two kitties are named Scarlet (the grey tortie, or Scarureto) and Michiro (the seal-point shorthair barn, or Michidoze)

  31. Cashmerecarole says:

    I had a Kitten Caboodle, a Cat Astrophe, and currently I have Freeloader and Mooch!

  32. Matt says:

    I have a friend with two cats named Pork and Beans

  33. Kris says:

    All of our cats have two names (Toby John, Snowy Ellenore ect) We adopted a cat called Sooky and we call her “Sooky-Laa-Laa”. She likes to throw things off the table if we don’t feed her fast enough. We taught her to use a desk-bell to ring when she is hungry – big mistake, lol. (The novelty wore off when she started ringing it at 2:00 am for a snack :D . But we love her so much.)

  34. MaraquanWocky says:

    My cat’s name is Kenai. But I didn’t name him Kenai, his previous owner named him Kenai. I have yet to learn just what the hell the name Kenai even means.

    • Angelsrest says:

      It is the name of a peninsula in Alaska. Its origin is Alaskan and literally translates into meaning Flat, barren Land…
      It is ALSO a male Inuit name meaning Kyra Climbingbear

  35. Barry says:

    Not one of mine but I know someone who called his cat “Kick”!

  36. Laura says:

    We’ve tried not to give our kittehs mundane names. After all, if you’ve seen the musical “Cats”, or read T.S. Elliot’s “Ol’ Possum’s Book of Practical Cats”, you’ll know that a kitteh must have three names—the name the family uses daily, his/her own personal name, and his/her secret name which only the kitteh knows and will never confess.

    Over the past 25 years of our marriage, we’ve been owned by:
    Rezhyk (named for a cranky wizard in a fantasy book)
    Artemis (Greek goddess of the moon)
    Chieri (she was polydactyl, and named for a race of six-fingered people in a science fiction book)
    MacLeod (called “Mac” — hubby is a “Highlander” fan)
    Jasmine (younger son loved the Disney “Aladdin” movie at the time)
    Galen and Baran (brothers, all black; Galen had green eyes, Baran has golden brown. “Galen” is Tolkien Elvish for “green” and “baran” is Elvish for “golden-brown”.)
    Trinket (a tortie who looked like a pile of baubles when she was little)

    And then the siblings we took in as feral kittehs when they were ten days old (they’re all two years old now). All of them are all-black but one has a white “jewel spot” at his throat. See if you can guess which one:
    Bear (older son named him after Bear Grylls)
    Havoc (younger son named him for the chaos he created)
    Frodo (hubby is a “Lord of the Rings” fan, if you didn’t pick up on that earlier; he was the runt and the one we were afraid wouldn’t make it — now he’s a gorgeous, compact little kitteh-cat. And yes, he’s the one bearing the “One Ring” white spot.)
    Sable (the only female — I named her to compliment her plush fur — she’s my baby)
    Orion (last to be named until we remembered the name of the cat in the first “Men In Black” movie. Orion’s not an orange tabby, but he IS a mighty hunter, like his mythological namesake.)

  37. Nanaree says:

    Well, currently we have 4 cats, McLean Leighanne McLitterson(we call her Mickey and Princess Mooma of the Fur People), Torii Hunter, Wiggum, and a cat we refer to as Bushy or Hellcat because my brother gave her a vulgar name that she sadly comes to when called.

  38. marcia says:

    FeeLion!!!! The best cat name ever!! She is now 21 years old.

  39. FF says:

  43. IrishRanger says:

    used to have a cat called bat cat. Cuz it wus black :P

  44. SuzYQ says:

    We have one kitty named ‘Cita which is short for Pobrecita (spanish for “poor little girl”) who was found in a storm drain by one of the neighborhood kids. She is a tail-less cat, and at one time had the nickname of “Stinkybutt” due to tummy issues, It got worse and she was rechristened “Poopybutt” and then got better and now she is “Fuzzybutt”. All nicknames given to her by the hubby.

    We also have Goblin who was found at a firehouse after being shot with an air rifle, poor thing. He was not given that name because we found him the day before Halloween (which we did) or because he is all black (which he is). He got that name because when it is nighttime he blends in with the carpet and you can’t see him. He lies in wait for you to walk by, wraps his paws around your leg, and makes you drag him with you, which is actually an improvement over when we first got him and he would capture your leg and sink his teeth into your ankle. We thought the name was appropriate.

    We also have a three-legged, rescue, almost roadkill dog named Grace.

    Incidentally, we have renamed our home “The Adkins Home for Wayward Animals”

  45. Pouncy says:

    All our cats start out with one name, but then get one or two more based on their personalities.

    Our turkish van started out as Pumpkin, but is now Booger face.

    We also had one we named pouncerella cinnamon toes because pounced a lot and her feet looked like cinnamon donuts.

    Sparkle became buddha belly, then finally just Boo.

  46. Renee says:

    My 4 year old daughter named a cat we adopted, “Sonja Petticoat Diamond”

  47. Kandy_Girl says:

    I have had Spats – black kitty w white spats , Raquel Raccoon – cuz she had the spiffy mask and ringtail (shortened version apparently awaiting moderation hmmph) big huge fluffy “mom” cat that slept in the 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)

  48. karen ager says:

    Our large, love-sponge of a cat is always under foot trapping anyone passing by to give her a belly rub, scratch behing the ear, etc….we call her: Speedbump!

    and BOTH will live in our house for MANY MORE YRS

  51. Jen says:

    I have Scrat (Ice age character), sometimes that becomes Scratimus, that became Scratimoose, then moose. I also have Captin Jack Sparrow (he has a black mark over his eye), sometimes called Jackopotomus.

  52. Amanda says:

    Growing up we had a cat that I named Cinderella. It wasn’t until later we discovered she was actually a he-so it became Cinderello. When we moved and he had passed, we got an orange one we named Oscar. I have at my parents house Priscilla since she looked like Priscilla Presley. When I moved out on my own, I got a black kitten and named him Gomez. He was pure evil :-)

  53. essdot says:

    Mister Oscar Amadeus Birthday (Moab)

  54. Romana3 says:

    Our first cat is names Heartbreaker – My husband said I broke his heart when I wouldn’t let him name her Bob.

    Our second cat is Voldemort, and our third cat is Maleficent. The vets have the hardest times with their names.

    Our fourth cat is Kona.

  55. Deja says:

    my kitty was born with only 1 eye.. his name is captain long john fuzzy pants

  56. lsquared55 says:

    We have two rescues who WERE named Smokey
    ( lilac point siamese) and Chocolate ( dark brown burmese) . We have a pal nicknamed Smoky, so that wouldn’t do, and Chocolate was much higher maintenance that just plain chocolate . So she became ‘Truffles’ and he became ‘Doolin’ , our favourite spot in Ireland. their nick names include Tuffy and Little Bit ’cause she’s tiny, and doo-doo man.and The Big D ’cause he’s not.

  57. Nobody says:

    i had a friend with a cat named “Milk Truck”

  58. wigliff says:

    I named my cat for his pension for stealing all of the neighbourhood cats food

    His name is: Freeloader.

  59. Lucy says:

    When I was a kid, we had a cat named Slrt. Yes, spelled s-l-r-t, pronounced “slurt”. It was just a nonsense word my younger sister came up with for him and it just stuck. It even became a verb, because the cat was always looking to get into trouble, so we’d say he’s “slrting around”.

    My cats now are Albus and Luna, after Harry Potter characters.

  60. heatherfeatherdiva says:

    Mai kittehs names are: Miss Foofy Doodles and Countess Squeakers VonDoodlkins. I had a lot of free time on my hands.

  61. ckscullycat says:

    Our new kitten is named DJ Jazzy Kurv. Our 14-year-old cat is named Scully…and not after the Dodger’s announcer, either.

  62. psily says:

    We had a cat named Lil’ Bit O’Money after we paid $350 for her. Her father’s name was Lil’ Bit O’Honey. Don’t let your children name pets or you might have to live with cats named Booger and Papertowel.

    We currently live with:
    Bye-Bye
    Mr. Tinkle
    Twinkie
    The Invisible Cat

  63. AMP says:

    My bengal is called Sultana Naoka the Princess of Doom – it gets shortened to Naoka, or the Princess of Doom!! Unfortunately the vet sometimes calls her Nokia!!!

  64. Lolaurelin says:

    Our oldest cat (15) is BC – Bad Cat. At various times he’s also been called Bonkers Cat, Black Cat, Bozo Cat, Brat Cat and Brainless Cat (he’s not the sharpest knife in the butcher block). (At the shelter he was called “Satan” – no imagination, and totally NOT the right name for such a loving, friendly kitten.) But he’s been a wonderful friend. Our other two have much more normal names – Sophia (13 1/2, fluffy maine-coon-wannabe queen of the house – her name in the shelter as a kitten was “Fluffy The Mouth”) and Molly (4, the tuxedo-cat pesky little sister).

  65. Kat says:

    My Kitteh iz names Skittles.
    Ah used to have a kitteh named Flappy But she got ebtn by goggies.

  66. Samantha says:

    Skunky!! :-)

  67. Laura says:

    Oh dear…are we counting outdoor kittehs, too? (Just re-read the thread.) In that case, there are several ferals outside that have come and gone (and some have stayed) that my hubby and I take care of. We gave them names in self-defense, just to keep them all straight.

    It started when our beloved Galen slipped out of the house almost three years ago and we never saw him again. :-( We put out food, water in a heated bowl (it was January), and a heating pad inside an open cat carrier, but he never came back. However, we attracted every other stray cat in the neighborhood, and it was heart-breaking that most of them seemed to be black cats, but none of them was our Galen. Since then, we’ve seen several pass through our yard: Katie, her kitteh Binx (who is the Mama of our five little ones — we took them from her when she tried to move them out of our garage), Odin (he was missing one eye), Mr. B.B. Siamese (“B.B.” stood for “Big Balls”), Yellow Tom, Barbosa, Yoro-ichi, Tuxie, Feather-Ear, Clooney (a very handsome-looking dark-orange tabby), and Thor. Out of all of them, Binx and Tuxie hang around the most, and Thor comes around frequently for the free food. Katie, Yoro-ichi and Barbosa died, and Odin, Mr. B.B. Siamese, Yellow Tom and Clooney have stopped coming around. They may have moved on, died or been picked up by Animal Control.

  68. Hudders says:

    We called our cat Zaphnath Paaneah (or Zaph for short) and my mate called his cat Zigzag Bengali Stardust (aka Ziggy). We could have gone for Fluffy or Socks, but no, the more ridiculous the better, provided you can shortern it when calling them :-)

  69. OhNoBones says:

    My kitteh’s name isn’t anything crazy, but I think it’s a good solid name.
    Virgil aka Virgilius

  70. Cupboardcat says:

    I had a cat named Basil Expedition Baggins Pants…first 2 names are from Austin Powers, baggins from Lord of the Rings (frodo…he was always exploring things) and Pants, dunno why. He lives with my ex-wife now tho.

  71. Chocolatesa says:

    My parents have had:

    Stacey (my mom’s favourite cat ever who got hit and killed by a car right in front of us)

    Smokey Pokey (a smoky grey cat who we had to put down because she became traumatized when we moved and did her business everywhere except the litter box after that)

    Daisy (we inherited from a great-aunt who passed away, and ran away not long after, never to be seen again)

    Oscar (who we gave away to a sheep farmer when we moved to the city)

    Zipper and Gadget (Sisters that I got from a friend, Zipper so named because she would zip onto the school bus with my friend in the morning and we’d have to catch her and dump her off lol)

    Kitty (a stray that jumped in our kitchen window one winter morning with her tail half-frozen, she eventually disappeared never to come back after a few years

  72. Maryh says:

    I ‘m an animal communicator so I wait for the cats to tell me their names. The cat I had when I got married was TARJJID. I have had a lot of kitties, currently have 15. One, a Tuxedo female, is Shiela Na Gig.

  73. kat o'9 says:

    The Cowboy. Oh, and Newman.

  74. llama mama says:

    I have two black cats – Karma and Juju. Usually they both answer to “Bad …”

  75. thepetmuseum says:

    The name I liked best was “Uzbek” for a sweet, fluffy brown cat. It was extra funny to me because she was named for a Second City TV skit about Russian TV, in which public service spots kept airing about Uzbekhs – always shown as wearing huge fur coats and being a public nuisance, which my little cat never was.
    I’ve done a couple of posts on that sort of thing. I don’t think I could ever come up with anything as cool as the folks who named their cats “Spatula,” “Porkchop Porkchop Molloy,” and “State of Maine.”

  76. Moonbid says:

    I had a kitten and I couldn’t decide on just one name. It kept getting longer and longer until I finally just had to trim it down and finalize it so I could remember my kitty’s name. I decided on:

    “Evelyn Hope Giant Sand Worm McCloud”

    Do I win? I think I win. :P

  77. BJ says:

    I had a calico named Scooter !!

  78. Johan says:

    belsebubb (old swedish word for satan) and yes teh kitteh is still a little devil :P

  79. Duke says:

    My daughter has cats: two sister cats that showed up on the porch as kittens and she decided we should keep them.

    She named them both Howard.

  80. Rain Oubliette says:

    My cat is Her Royal Majesty, the Queen Cockleburr, the World’s Grouchiest Cat. Originally, she was just Cockleburr (when I found her at my grandmother’s farm, she had cockleburs in her fur) but as we got to know her… well, she thinks she’s royalty (she will come to “Your Majesty” but not “Cockleburr”) and the “grouchy” comes from the fact she’s 17 years old.

    I used to have a cat named Ewok. :D

  81. alex ro. says:

    well, ive fostered many puppies and kittens with my family and owned many pets ,but, these were the craziest:
    my cat(still have him now) named fish
    a fish(one of my pets)named cat(to mimic my cat)
    a rottiewiler(we fostered)dei-o-gie(spell DOG out loud)
    two kittens(fostered)crush soda(because he was orange)
    and toe’d(because he had one extra toe on each paw)

    Hope you enjoyed the names

  82. Anne Stinnett says:

    My neighbor had a cat named Irregardless. Dunno why.

  83. Darklady says:

    PITA… for Pain in the A**. She lived up to the name…

  84. darkcloyd says:

    my cats names are Prince Twilight Nemesi(nem-eh-sigh) Clark and Princess Tabitha Nadine Clark

  85. ArchaicDome says:

    Our cat’s name is Eggnart. We don’t know why- my stepdad made it up one day when she was baby-sized and it stuck. We call her Nart for short, and she has a blingy rhinestone collar that says NART.

  86. pawnhandler says:

    I had a cat named Napoleon, because when he was a kitten he marched in and tossed my other cat off my lap. I didn’t think it was that odd a name until I saw the looks people gave me when I called his name from the front porch. My brother had cats named Pittsburgh and Rimshot.

  87. Lara says:

    Rob Zombie, with a taste for human flesh (as well as wood, plastic, plaster), he was more human than human

  88. momkat13 says:

    Not particularly a funny name but I had a seal point siamese in the late sixties that I named Illya Nickovich Kuryakin. Yes, I was a Man From UNCLE fan. ;)

  89. mary says:

    Boogaloo and Meatloaf are the most unique names I’ve given my “friends”

  90. cjvs1604 says:

    My kittehs are Pip and Mama. Pip is short for Pipsqueak, because she was the runt of Mama’s litter, and Mama is Mama because she was pregnant when we found her as a stray.

  91. karen says:

    Our large, love-sponge of a cat is always under foot trapping anyone passing by to give her a belly rub or scratch behind her ear. My husband calls her Speedbump! Our little black cat has an eye with “issues” so my son calls her Ol’ Drippy. My husband calls her Coal Tar.

  92. coofee says:

    Misan ^^

  93. Frieda says:

    Felis Maximus Nero – in Latin, means big black cat. Which he was.
    I also have a Minima Abbysinia Albapoda, Latin for little white-footed Abbysinian, which she is.

    Kitty Nerys is named after Kira Nerys on Star Trek – Deep Space 9. The cat and the character both have red hair and stripes on their noses.

    The Star Trek character, her culture is family name first, given name last. So my cat is called Nerys. Its pronounced nu REESS.

  95. JBirdy says:

    I have a cat named Yokie. After Yoko Ono. Well, sort of. Her name came from a line in a Barenaked Ladies song – Be My Yoko Ono – where the singer says “Don’t blame it on Yokie!” :)

  96. Sarah says:

    My husband and I had a beautiful white long-haired cat and we couldn’t agree on what to name her so we mostly called her Kitty. When people made snide remarks about how original I told them it was short for Her Royal Highness the Princess Kitty! Hubbie often called her Leaf Butt because she’d come in the house with leaves stuck to her behind

  97. JBirdy says:

    I also had one named Stripe – after the Gremlin. She lived up to it with her personality. Sneaky little bugger. RIP Stripe :(

  98. Spaced_Kitteh says:

    Mai kitteh iz called manee names, but mostly “Little Miss Sillers” cuz she makes me LOL…

    Jelly-Belly Machiavelli

  100. welshgirl says:

    Mercles! After the late great Freddie Mercury because she is black with a white moustache and white paws.

  101. Jeweleye says:

    Sally Catfish. First cat I ever had. I was 12. She found me when she was pregnant and about to give birth. Then she disappeared. Two weeks later I heard kitty sounds outside the house, and there she was with her litter!

  102. hellokittygrrl says:

    Um, I don’t think any of my cats had ‘normal’ names. My current girl is Moshi Moshi Nezumiko- Mouse for short, but the nicknames range from Tutty to Buddhabelly (boy, does she have one!), to NiNi. Of course, when she wakes me up at 2:00 am it’s just “damn cat”!

  103. ginnynotjenny says:

    I have two crazy cat names.

    1. Wildman Jack: Adventure Cat because he was, well… wild.
    2. Eleanore Roseypelt – But if you’re sweet, she’ll let you call her Miss Ellie.

  104. Rebecca says:

    I adopted a female kitten from a stray family that adopted my mother. She was very shy and not at all sociable as a baby- her siblings would be romping around the middle of the floor and she’d be hiding under the couch. My mother started calling her Sissy, which I could not allow to remain when I took her, so I renamed her Sicily, and call her Sici for short- MUCH more sophisticated than Sissy, but close enough in sound in case she had started learning it already! My family has had more cats than I can count in the past 30 years, but my creative contribution to the naming process was a huge eared gray little puss with the most forlorn expression on his face- I named him Fieval, because he truly looked like a little mouse!

  105. Sedona says:

    Hope this does not offend, but I had a cat once and it was a stray. We diddn’t intend to keep it but I called the vet to make an appt to make sure it was all healthy and I was put on the spot by the receptionist “and the kittys name?” I panicked and called it like I saw it. “Hairy Ass”. I kept that cat 10 years and always giggled like a school girl when the vet had to call her by her name “Is Hairy ass not feeling well?”

  106. Frankie says:

    Nefferkitti – She looked very Egyptian!

  107. Kerri says:

  109. Camika says:

    The most ridiculous kitten name I ever gave to one of my pets was Sivasubramanian Chandrasegarampilai, which is a character from 2010: Odyssey Two.
    Nowadays my cats are named Doris and Pipo, which are infinitely more suitable :)

  110. vjs says:

    Named a blue cat Daja Blue. She is a beautiful cat.

  111. Core says:

    My orange cat is named Yam. And I know a guy who named his adorable kitten Corpse Grinder.

  112. Chocolatesa says:

    Oops, hit the “add comment” button too fast…

    Then there was Patch and Kitty 2.0 (stray sisters that someone found in the woods near our house, Patch (so named for a beige patch in the middle of her grey forehead) got hit by a car not long after and now my parents are left with Kitty)

    Since moving out from my parents place I’ve found 2 stray black cats which I named Sambuca (She’s a huge fat long-haired cat) and Licorice (she was really skinny when I found her). Unfortunately I had to give them both to my parents because of my chronic cough but at least they got a good home.

    None of the cats we’ve had have died of old age, all either dissapeared, killed, or put down.

    Oh and I forgot Doudoune, the only cat my parents ever bought, she was infested with fleas and we had to put her down when we had a flea infestation in the house.

    Sambuca recently disappeared as well. I’m very sad. She was my favourite cat ever.

  113. Kerri says:

    When I was a teenager I had a cat named Fishhead, after the SNL short of the same name. Fishheads, fishheads, icky, icky fishheads. Fishheads fishheads eat them up yum!

  117. Core says:

    Oh and my boyfriend’s white cat is named Leche. And when he was younger they had a cat with 7 toes on each foot so they named him Sieben.

  118. jaspertoes says:

    Lydia Dinkum – for Lydia Pinkham a 19th century patent medicine maker and F. Lee Baby for the famous attorney F. Lee Baily.

  119. MrBill says:

    My brother’s roommate named his cat BLADESTORM, which you were required to shout like a crazy person every time you said it (hence the all-capitals).

  123. Giners says:

    I was gonna try to read them all, but I have things to do today LOL

    My orange tabbys name is Nuno Shithead Green….(Yes we gave him a middle name and it’s shithead cause he can be one quite often) and Nuno is after one of the guys from the band Extreme (our friend named him)

    My black kitty which I got as a Halloween present, her name is Elvira Elyse Louise.

  124. dk1421 says:

    A friend in college called her cat “Stinky Butt” – and it was it’s real name, not a nickname.

    I have another friend whose cat is called Smudgy!

  125. Danasaurus says:

    I always wanted to name a kitteh “Beef Wellington”. I wish I remember why that was funny, but at one time it made perfect sense, I swear!

  126. Ryland says:

    Our cat’s name is What-What. That’s what it sounds like when she cries for us in the morning or when we come home.

  127. shaktigrrrl says:

    my liger (lion crossed with a tiger) kitteh is named
    mr. bitey mc muggles, but we calls him muggles for short (NOT muggle from harry potter)…

  128. Newfherder says:

    I gave a home to three strays–Old Hippie, a disheveled male; Kinkatush, an old male with a kink in his tail, and Jolly Polly Pretty Pants, a very cute young female.

  142. Hazel says:

    Adopted a ginger stray and called him Katmandu

  143. Simon says:

    My cat’s name is “Dodge”. Why? Well, a friend of mine has a cat called Rover (Pretty normal name in Dutch, it means “robber” in English). But, since Rover is a cars brand, my cat had to be faster offcourse.

  144. koepkeb says:

    Our bastadly kitten with fox-colored ears is named “Field Marshall Tobias Rommel” (Not Erwin as he’s just as a relative…) Though he mostly goes by Toby.

  145. Dancercat1212 says:

    Friday. (The 13th should probably be added to it, but we call it Friday)(Not my idea, don’t ask)

  147. GeekChick says:

    My husband is stuck in the 80′s and named our cats Rambo and MacGyver — everyone seems to think those names are funny! The names even fit somewhat, because Rambo can be a mean cat when he doesn’t get his way, and MacGyver’s fur is almost like a mullet — he has shorter hair on the front half of his body, and longer hair on his back half and tail!

  148. Catherine says:

    I have 2 new kittens.
    Navel Orange, is well orange.
    and
    Agent Orange, Roger Moore 007, he is orange too, but with white paws.

    My fat orange cat is named Orangello. He is Orange & showed potential for being jiggly fat like Jello almost immediately upon arrival at my home. My smaller black cat is named Madison, and her brother is named Monroe. They were born between Madison ave. & Monroe ave. in Memphis, TN.

    My new kitten, available for adoption to a good home in South MS, is named Falken, like the tire. She was on the tire or a SUV when we met; it may have been a Toyo tire, not sure (Toyo seems like a boy name anyway).

    One day, i will have a fat, yellow labrador retriever named Lemonjello.

  156. smills518 says:

    My sister named her cat Prince Louis Vuitton III (something about she love the singer Prince, the cat jumped in her Louis Vuitton luggage when she first brought him home and he was her third cat). My younger cat’s name is Peur (means fear/afraid in French) cause she’s such a scaredy cat.

    I had two unusual named cats in the past – one was Whistle because her nose did. One was Miss Tazewell P. Wigglebottom – started out named Taz, but turned out to be a little girl. My current baby is Mr. Spottiswoode Lightfoot. He looks like he’s wearing a batman mask and cape, but he didn’t look like a Bruce, a Wayne or a Edward.

  165. Negolith says:

    The first two cats I had once I had a place of my own had the official names of Miyagi and Mikaru. But there were variations:

    Nicknames: Augie and Icky

    Greek names: Augules and Meowlus
    Victorian names: Fartemous Aug and Ickpartou

  174. Lady Callahan says:

    My late black cat was named Jinx (WAY before Meet the Parents ever came out). now we have Griffin and Juno (also named before THAT movie came out).

  178. Rae Lundquist says:

    We adopted a six week old abandoned female, and named her “Baby” (as she was the youngest to our other 3 much older cats). Within weeks, she began a reign of terror, dropping on the ‘old lady cats’ from the tops of chairs, dashing out at them from behind the couch. Before long, due to her intense campaign to scare the ‘old ladies’ to death, she was renamed

    HOMICICAL FUZZBALL

  179. Karen says:

    My little cat is Princess BooBoo Fluffernutter Butterpants. or BooBoo for short.

  181. Al Webb says:

    We’ve tried to give our kittehs and cats (all rescued, incidentally) distinct names. The current feline denizens are led by Angel Gabriel and include Quintus Maximus and Calypso Carnival (otherwise known as the Chuckle Brothers), then come Christabelle Rhea, Janet Leigh and, last but not least, ouor little black and white fluffball, Blossom Evangeline. Alas, Blossom’s brother was killed by a speeding car last Christmas. His name was Septimus Finitus.

  184. Rae Lundquist says:

    A friend adopted 2 male cats, and named them “Morris” and “Din-din” just for the fun of calling out loud to them for supper in the evenings. (Will seem funny to anyone who remembers the 9 Lives cat food commercial).

  185. blind says:

    my cat is called meowras

  186. Linden says:

    My cat is nice and nerdy…. I wanted to name her Quark (a type of subatomic particle) but thought that to masculine so she became Quirk (in Canada there’s a science radio show called Quirks & Quarks). It suits her… she’s very quirky and strange.

    My brother went for dubious but obvious humor. His cat is Hit (as in Hit, the cat)

  187. Kwithie says:

    Jet black male named Incubus — Inky for short.

  191. crystal says:

    Growing up I had a lot of cats (32 at one count) so we had a few good names. The ones that will forever stick out are for a litter of 3 feral kittens that eventually became ours. My brothers named them Einstein, Abraham, and Copernicus (Copper for short). We then found out that Einstein and Abraham were girls….

  192. Stuck says:

    When I was tiny we had a second-hand rescue cat – his original rescuer called him “Du Bois” (’cause he came from the forest, eh?) but my parents figured that was too classy for him and changed it to “Woody”.

  193. youcangrowflowers says:

    Our 2 cats are Clarence and Mabel. If we get another cat someday, we’ll stick with the “old people” names.

  194. Erin says:

    Tacticus was a kitten my brother-in-law fostered for the humane society. We nick-named him Tacticus because he always seemed to plot out his attacks on his toys and siblings.

  195. Getsutora says:

    I have a cat that looks just like Mr. Mistoffelees from the musical Cats!, so he inevitably got named after him.

    My 9 year old cat who lives with my mom still is named “Voodoo Child” after the Hendrix song.

  207. Ann says:

    I had a baby kitty named YodaBugNoggins. All one word with the 3 capitol letters. She got her name cause her head was shaped like Yodas, she had big blue bug eyes and (because she had hydrosephilitis (sp?) (water on the brain) she was all noggin! HAHA Sadly we had to have her put down at 7weeks old because she was seizuring and suffering. May my sweet baby kitty rest in peace.

  211. David says:

    Living in Korea, we rescued a cat and named her Saja, which is Korean for Lion (the Korean kids whom I teach are very tickled by the name!) But in the past, we also had Chubb-Chubbs (“the chubb-chubbs are coming!!” courtesy of Pixar animation); Abby (as she was another rescue — short for Abandoned) and Emma because, as a tabby, the markings on her forehead made an M.

  212. Brie says:

    We once named a foster kitten Dr. Tinycat.

    It was a challenge to convince his new caretakers not to change it.

    Best name ever you say for my kitteh? *D.O.G.* Everyone would say “Oooh, how do you pronounce that?” or when I pronounced it “is that foreign?”. hehe. She was the best kitteh ever, too! Double win!

    Oh, and I have a stray kitty at my house, and everyone always asks what her name is, so I named her, aptly I might add, “Stray Kitteh”. hah. “What’s your cat’s name?” “Stray kitteh”. “Yes, I understand it’s a stray cat, but WHAT is her NAME?” haha. “Stray Kitteh”, it’s a fun game!

  220. Aaron says:

    I have a cat registered with the name Cleocatra. Lulz.

  221. Shirley says:

    My sister named one of her early cats Ms. Chif (mischief…) and she definitely lived up to the name!

    What I’ve never understood is how a cat’s given name will morph into something that bears little or no resemblance to the original. I see mention of that phenomenon a lot in the comments.

  222. jess says:

    My parents had a cat when I was born named Sanyo. I thought it was a cute name, she was a siamese. She had a kitten we named Tisha, then found an all-black stray which we named Piper.

    right now I have a tortoise shell cat named Reeces, and her sisters were Twinkie and Oreo (Reeces is brown with orange, Twinkie was orange and white, and Oreo was black and white). Original? no. Fun? yes!

  223. gammacat says:

    Cannoli (aka cannoli butt, fuzz butt) cuz a friend thought his fur was cannoli shell colored and

    My catty’s name is Cinnamon and Vanilla Snow Cones. But thats hard to yell when he’s climbing up the curtains so I just call him Grey Cat.

  225. SheBit says:

    Our rescue cat came with the name Chad, but before we even had him home we knew that his full name was Isoceles Pink Dragon Chadwick III. He’s still generally known as Chadwick, Chad or ‘The Chad’ (and by a vast list of unflattering nicknames)

  226. Mer says:

    Zippy Tuna. :)

  227. Nikola says:

    I had a cat I named Yù Xiăng (Dream of Jade), after a cat in a story by Lloyd Alexander.

    My stepmother has a cat named Barn Boy (he was born in a barn). I lobbied for Barnaby as being more dignified, but alas, not my cat, so I didn’t get the deciding vote.

  228. jess says:

    Oh, and even though we’re on the subject of cats, we sometimes call my doggy “Nina Hoover Underfoot.” Nina is her name, and ‘Hoover’ and ‘Underfoot’ are pretty self-explanatory: she hoovers up all the food crumbs off of our floor and she’s pretty much always underfoot.

  229. Inga says:

    Trogdor! Best cat name ever. And yes, she is a burninator.

  230. CanaLyn says:

    Dirtbag. My mom said we wouldn’t get any more cats after her inside cat disappeared (understandably, we had four outside cats as well) and my brother said “If we do can we name it Dirtbag?” and my mom stupidly agreed.

    Then Dirtbag had kittens and all the kittens are named after villages on Long Island, where they lived when I was born. So now we have Dirtbag, Poquott, Montauk, Setauket, and Port Jefferson, as well as Gibi, Izza, Marmalade and Boo outside.

    Now I feel like a crazy cat lady…

  231. Sunshine says:

    Rheeboot..cause he was a rescue who is not right in the head…but I love him always.

  232. jess says:

  233. Cathy says:

    We have 3 Bengals. The first is Tagore-for Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize winning Indian author. The second is Pauline. Our Bengals have the marbled coat, so she is named for Pauline Borghese, whose marble statue is in the Borghese Gardens in Rome. The sculptor is Canova. Her sister is Claudel, named for Camille Claudel, Rodin’s Muse who was also a fine sculptress. I refer to these as 50 cent names!

  234. Hali says:

    Tortoise Shell cat named Burnt Rubber

  235. meh says:

    We have a cat who is a reincarnation of a cat my parents used to own, who was named Stuie. Spelled so because it was short for “stupid”. Our new cat’s name is Stuetta.

  236. Luigi says:

    Nickname was Maxi-cat, but full name was Frederick Maximillian Joseph. Geeba-Geeba was named after a 50s-60s TV puppet chacacter, but kitteh was called Geebs. Sidi Bishr named after a tram stop in Alexandria, Egypt. Rabs loooked a bit like a rabbit. All in kitteh heaven now.

  237. Rudy says:

    Never had any odd names, but adopted an adult kitteh named Lucy, who had a sister Ethel. We only had Lucy, so when we got a baby kitteh, we named it Linus (on a Peanuts theme). As he got older he was like his namesake–he was constantly stealing towels (aka “blankets”) and hiding them around the house. I found a few behind the dryer in the basement. ;-)

  238. Caroline Hendrix says:

    My husband named our current two “Mr. Humphries” and “Mrs. Slocombe”. I have since renamed them “Mr. Wilberforce John Clayborne Inman Humphries” and “Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Jennifer Rachel Mollie Yiddel Abergavenny Sugdon Slocombe”

  239. shyanne518 says:

    One of my cats is named MONSTER, because for the 1st year of her life that’s what she was. She was such a holy terror(just ask the dog or my other cat) that I kept trying to give her away, but no one would take her. Now that she has outgrown the monster stage, I wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s a sweetheart but she’s stuck with the name.

  240. Fluffylace says:

    My family has a very large long hair which was given to us by a nice older woman. This humongous cat came to us with the masculine name… Mr. Tuffy :3

  241. luciole says:

    As all real and proper kittehs have AT LEAST three sets of names (default, formal, house only), so do teh kittehs that have adopted my famblee.
    The girl had teh name Eleanor when she came to us, and to add we added teh royal – or rather goddess name – Ixchen and Murri as a name that came from previous kittehs we had that looked like her. Ellie, or Eleanor Murri Ixchen is also known as ‘the girl’ and ‘pretty girl’ home. And her brother kitteh, Ernesto, is with same logic known as Ernesto Musti Ixtlilton, most of the time called simply Ernie, Nibbler, ‘the boy’, ‘babbeeh’. Both are awsum basement kittehs.

  291. lavachat says:

    My first 2 started out as Pearl and Pascal, but were renamed Chaos and Mayhem – for obvious reasons. I now have a fat black-and-white, got her from the shelter when she was 8, whose official name was Juliette… since I always picture a slender ballerina when I hear that name, she now answers to “Wischmop” – german for a wetmop. My floors have never been cleaner ;-)
