Strange cat names?

I like the name Freeway! What is wrong with his gums? My cat, Taj - short for Ta Shuah - just had all his teeth pulled because he has stomitius.

We have a Gizmo, he's one of our semi-ferals so he doesn't answer to anything!

Cute names are also good. We renamed Kaboodle "Booboo" and while we named Gabby for Xena's companion, we always call her Gabby.

I guess he's orange? The former roommate and I used to share a cat she had named zuchini, after the squash.

LOL Bug - huh? The roomie has a cat named Nino who answers just as much to Spud as Nino.

My white kitty has yellow eyes and isn't deaf. I named him after a character on The Tomorrow People - Timus (said Time-is).

No claws..haha...However the cats name is "Paws"

Paws is a good name, I knew one cat they called Big Foot, and boy did he have them!

no paws? or no claws? And I've got a few minxs, but no manxs... I like Siameses, I only have 3 with the markings, but I've got a LOT of them with the voices and behaviors. Spotnose sounds like something a kid would name an animal - and I like Spotno!

Yeah, he was a hissy, growly little moster, who did deep purrs when he was happy - instead of when the Doctor blew his dog whistle!

I like that, Mandrel. I watch Dr. Who all the time.*L*

Me too!! maybe that's how much they paid? is there some kind of rap group with a name like that?

We named Oliver because he was an orphan. Ping is a kisser and a nose butt-er, well, I called it a nose breaker when he was younger because he would butt too hard! And names coming to you happened to me. We had been given a rescued cat and were calling her Princess but were trying to find something that fit better (tho she was beautiful.) One day on the way home the name Chelsey popped into my head and when I came into the house I called the name and she jumped off her perch and ran to me. Then there was ugly Bawb - so ugly we weren't even sure if he was going to survive, he was so starved his hair was falling out! Bawb is said like a long belch...

Honestly, we had that problem with Oliver, generally if any of the cats are bad - we just yell - "CAT!" The ones that aren't being bad come alert and the bad ones run away.

E.T. and Hans - like Solo? You sound like MY kindda people! And I loved the book/movie Thomasina!

Hey, you still sound like my kindda people - I've put in a friends request, I hope you accept me!

E.T. looked like... well...E.T. and Hans had his name when we got him so, I don't know how he got it. I think it was Hans Christian Anderson though. My moms cat's name is Cody because he looks like a Kodiak bear. My fiance had cat's named Wiggle Butts, Pumpkinhead and Hissy P*ss.

hummm, have to check that one out, i love animated movies!

I like them, how did you choose them?

Catalina came one of my great grandparents while Berlius, if I remember right, came from the name of a cat in an animated movie.:)

Well, it sounded to me like a Japanese anime name, and I did find something on the web for that name. Would your cousin be an anime fan?

well let me know wat u found out, i would really like to know what does this name means :)

And by the way i dont know if she's an anime fan or not..!! she's like almost 30 yrs old LoL, but she could be :p

yea but actual seti, is the overseer to the pharoahs, pearl was pearl because she was completely white

Oh, yeah, Egypt stuff... you can see that history is behind science in my book - but they are close...

Seti? Like the space listining thingie? We named one kitten last year, Pearl because she was a soft, dilute tortie!

I totally agree that the names are probably shortened to something, hey, instead of eighty, maybe bucky? Do you call him gumby or d'arcy?

Yeah, we have a Tuti - well, its short for Tut-an-bast - "the image of Bast" - she came with the name. We also have a Roxy, it started as the name she came with "Rockstar."

gumby. he is 8. i dont want to confuse him by changing his name. tootie sounds like a good name for a pet. better for a pet than that character on Facts of Life young actress, Kim Fields. another cool pet name is Roxie or Trixie

I do my best to fit the names to the pets myself. Granted, if I think a the animal will be adopted, I might give a "throw away" name. I also have been doing "series" names. For example, I named a Siamese marked kitten for my Chinese co-worker. Since she was Chinese, I named the kitten's brothers, Ping and Pong. Well, we've kept those brothers and EVERYBODY loves their names! Or we named Rygel that because from behind he looked a little like the alien by that name on Farscape. Since it is said the same as the star, we named his 3 siblings after steller objects, Sirius, Orion and Andromeda. Now, when we got Roxy, she was named Rockstar - try calling that.... We changed it right away to Rocky. She came with her 2 kittens, a boy and girl, unnamed. We named them Boris and Natasha, after the villins in the cartoons. Well, Boris was a total sweet heart, but Natasha was a terrorist! She drove her brother so crazy he started hiding in my room. We were once again glad we had kept Rygel, because he was just the same when he was a kitten. He played with her and then, when he was tired, she'd go bother all the other cats, and by the time Rygel was ready, she's had annoyed all the other cats and could play with her happy playmate again! A further story on Natasha (oh, both kept their names BTY) was the lady that had adopted her, had to put all her nicknacks up and lock the darling up when she left the house because she was destroying her stuff!

I like Optimus Purrrime too, and Buddah Pest. Reminds me of the story of one of my friends told me at the party on Saturday. She was talking about a neighbor's cat, she calls him "that Buddah cat" because he was adopted by her neighbor because he was down at the Buddist temple, and going in and spraying the statue. And those people didn't want to take him to the kill shelter so they asked for someone to adopt him. heck, just taking him to the vet for a fix might've also helped...

Oops - I forgot Socks, Boots and Tippy when I was a kid - they all had white feet. And, Gata was a Siamese I couldn't think of a name for, so I called her "Girl Cat" in Spanish.

I just read your other responses - I guess the cat got #5's tongue, huh? Also I remembered one more - I had a cat named Alfree in high school - there was a guy in school named Alfree Heston and I just thought it was the coolest name, so I named the cat that, too.

I knew a Peaches, she was a kindda "peach" colored tabby. I like the golf names, not that I'm a golfer, but my mom was.

Cool!

My Peaches came with that name. She came from Georgia, so she's a Georgia peach as well as kinda peachy in color.

I liked all the names, and might consider that one too! I call Scamp, Sir Scamp-a-lot amoung other names I call him.
