You know that cute thing vets do when they come out to the waiting room and call the cat's name?

They won't do that if you name your cat "Shithead".

There was a dog I followed on YT who was supposedly named Cumlord. He was fucking adorable but unfortunately I think he passed away.

Cutlet is the best bad name for a cat. The cat will know it's both your friend and a survival ration.

I do the thing where I hold my cat's head in both hands and scratch her chin and rub my head on hers while telling her I'm gonna turn her into teriyaki stir fry.

[–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 2 points 18 hours ago

My cat Chili could relate.

My grandparents had a cat named Pussy. My grandma was so upset when I told her what that was slang for

I wanted a cat when I was 5. My parents got me a fish instead. So, in my innocence, I named the fish "Pussy"

[–] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago

We had a cat when I was in high school named Clyde. Great indoor/outdoor cat. Every night when my mom wanted him to come home she would open the front door, step out onto the porch and yell, "Where's My Pussy!" and "Here Puss Puss Pussy! Only neighbors semi-close by were a sweet old couple who thought that was hilarious.

My uncle had a pitbull named "kitty kitty".

Atleast that's what he dog thought, as when my uncle would feed the cats and dog, he'd always call the cats by saying "here, kitty, kitty... ".

We have neighbor cat who always wants to come to our yard and start shit with our cat. Said neighbor cat has an odd narrow dark strip under his nose. We call him Hisler, or Der Furrer.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

One of mine has the habit of extending just one front paw while being pet lying down. We ask if she's heiling kitler.

We named our black cat Nyarlathotep or Nyar for short.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 11 points 1 day ago

Sextoy.

You'll have many visits from animal protection and more than likely lose friends when they learn the name.

My friend used to have a cat called Chevy, which was originally short for Le Chevalier but changed to be short for Chevy Chase because they were both assholes.

[–] Core_of_Arden@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

The name that you chose - the cat doesn't care anyway.

[–] Naich@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago

We had a cat called Scunger. She used to shit on the kitchen floor.
