The Best Cat Names Ever

I have Gir who was named after Invader Zims little robot, he is my big orange love bug.

Kuja who was named for one of my sons favorite anime characters.

CC short for Coffee Cat, because he always wants to help me drink my coffee.

Ashe, named after a character in one of the Final Fantasy video games. And Penny that was what they called her at the shelter where we got her we kept it because she has the same colors as an old penny.

Bogman was “Little Gray Face” and Tiger is Punkey Bunky or Punky Brewster

IT…. It was a difficult cat to name. His brother Xavier came easily but the naming of It did not want to come. Since he had been promptly neutered on arrival, It was the temporary solution while we cajoled him to reveal his name.

Eventually it became apparent that IT was his name. He knew he was IT, the be-all of catdom to be waited on by servants that knew his supreme status of the IT Cat.

So It remained It because he was It.

I have: Little, I got him when he was 4 days old, and was calling him “little kitten”. The name sort of stuck 🙂 DayDay is named after a movie character. Pepper is salt and pepper colored. Marley is very plain almost homely looking and I could not think of a name for him that was fitting except Bob, which he would not come to. So Marley is the next best thing lol. And Nala I did not name but she is a bengal and sort of exotic looking so the name fits.

Velvet was named because of her very beautiful, very short fur. like a fine piece of velvet.

Spice was named because how spunky she was when a kitten, I almost named her Salsa.

Yuki Michi is japanese for white snow, a small patch of white belly on a black burmese mix…

Tippy the beagle was named for the white tip on his tail

Whitney Alexander Squeaky for the white guinea pig because i loved the name.

Jake the Parakeet was already named when i got him…

My girl named our 18-month old cat “Chairman Mao” because he is a socialist and convinced he owns everything in this tiny country we call our house. Also, he’s not afraid to use violence to remind us we are but lowly serfs born to serve his every whim. His previous names were Six-Pack, Calamity, Link (because he always kicked the pug named Ganon’s butt), and, his first name, Kit-tay Kat.

So we were at the shelter today and have decided tomorrow we’re adding a 10 month old cat and I’m looking to replace his current name “Midnight”. It doesn’t have to stick, because as you can tell we’re pretty frequent with name changes… It’s not like it matters to the cat. :p

Any suggestions? Continuation of Asian socialist theme not required.

{For the record, we’ve lived with multiple cats before and both of these cats are neutered and Midnight appears well socialized (Mao is definately) and have had all their shots and such. Also we’ve got a spare room set up to keep Midnight in for a week or more while they get introduced.)

This is just about a temporary name.

DMQ, I have an all-black female cat named George for the very same reason! Except it was two of my existing cats, Bunky and Dom, who filled the role of the abominable snowman; they wouldn’t let tiny little George out of their sight for a moment, and groomed her to within an inch of her life!

I have had a better life due to the love of my many cats over my lifetime. I found a cat in Mexico years ago, a scrawny black thing. I named him Noche (No-chay) which is spanish for night time. I had a cat named Dubie for Dubious Distinction, two brothers, Bubba and Bones, a cat named Spaz, a cat I gave to a home and found out it was not a good home and took him back and named him Repo. I have a cat named Atticus and a cat named Chuck right now. When I was in law school I found a homeless cat and named it Sosumi (So, sue me). I had a one eyed cat named Gunther and a cat named Ralph, and a cat named Dirty Harry. By the way, I keep my cats their entire lifetime, not as a whim.
