A sphynx cat and a tortoiseshell cat laying next to each other on a sunny windowsill.

On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he's either a babyman where he's all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he's a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he's hyper.

On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by 'Frey', but when she's in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her 'Turbo Cylinder' because she's very tubular in shape at high speed.

Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.

Omg you got your cat to sleep somewhere that's not directly on the fucking keyboard!?!? Who are you so wise in the ways of cats?

[–] Cheskaz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I did still have to create a profile for my keyboard called CAT which disables all buttons for when he decides to forgo the 10000 beds and little spots he has, to instead gaze at my keyboard and think "This right here? This is mine. It is bed"

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

The trick is having a decoy keyboard!

"No really my name is Alcatraz! Like the prison island. Dennis is just a nickname. I swear! Also you haven't met my girlfriend because she goes to a different school, I talk to her on AIM."

[–] Lennnny@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Snuggles, Struggles, and Franny.

Although we've started calling Struggles by new names such as Yappy Jackie, Gob, and Screamer.

Along with Crumple Zone and Brake Check.

I like that you took your time to count the characters

[–] martine@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

Nobody should be using pet names or nicknames in their passwords, period.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 10 points 6 days ago

Mimo, memes, mats shmickelson when eating, captain zeiksnor when annoying and sjattepoemel when sweet.

Mimo

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Not a cat, but I adopted a dog whose name was Doc. I started calling him Docky and that became Ducky and then he started responding to that so now that’s his name.

He has a brother named Dexter that I obviously call Goose lol

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Bober / Boober / Luboo / Bochkin

This is Izzy.

AKA Isabella, Queen Isabella Greypelt, Izzy Busy, Isabella Busy Boo, The Puke Monster and The Monochromatic Quadropus. At least one of those has one of those inane songs to go with it.

[–] cod@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.

The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”

The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!

[–] AnthropomorphicCat@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot

Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 days ago

Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.

We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."

[–] lipilee@feddit.nl 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One of my cats is called Pipping but I call him Chonky (He's actually not chonky but behaves like he is.)

We have a runt who barely weighs 7 pounds but eats like a fatass. When I do the rounds filling bowls, she follows me to eat the absolute freshest food just placed.

[–] waggz@programming.dev 5 points 6 days ago

Gadget, or sometimes just Gadg, more often Gadgey-poo. The other brat is Nova, or most commonly Nova-beans. https://youtube.com/shorts/Mn643qQTSlI

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

My cats name is Jimmy and sometimes I call him Oggy, especially when he's chasing bugs (no cockroaches here but I hope you get the reference)

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Gusfraba (gusi, gus) and genebre (gine)

[–] KittenHippie@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.

[–] Sk3rgi0@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".

Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.

Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.

[–] leauxhigh@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
