Dammit, I Am *NOT* a Cat Person!

He's a James Bond kitty?

Octopussy!

I am probably showing a combination of my maturity, what time it is over here and my age, but *snerk*

Nine lives, eight .... tails ....

Name him Sambuca.

Name him Sambuca.

This one is the current top runner for me. Have to check with my wife, but this one holds the top spot right now. Since she's asleep, it will have to wait until tomorrow.

It's weird. I think what I'm aiming for is a dark sounding name. Cocoa, Licorice, Sambuca, Midnight, Twilight, etc. Actually, I mentioned Licorice to BSE (and how it doesn't really roll off the tongue), and she suggested Sambuca in response.

We'll see

I just like Sambuca (Romana Black, specifically). Had some the other night.

Rumrunner!

(Used to live with 9 cats, so I know what I'm talking about)

"Knock it off!" is a close runner up there.

"Knock it off!" is a close runner up there.

Mine was frequently called "You Bastard"

Mine's named Arwen, but she goes by, "FUCKING CAT!"

Mine's named Arwen, but she goes by, "FUCKING CAT!"

I think that's why my friend's grandparent named the cat Cooking Fat.

One of McGriff's unofficial names was Sorry (every day one of us would trip over him at least twice).

my parents have a dog who's real name is Odessa. Dad couldn't remember this the first night they had her since mom 'surprised' him with her. She hopped up on the table, dad couldn't remember what to call her. What came out was "SHITHEAD! Get down!" She jumped down.

That dog has forever more been shithead. Because she responded.

Sully is "Motherfucker" and Nermal is "Oh jesus what now"

Let's see, I've had Velcro who earned her name with a stunt she did (repeatedly) as a kitten and young cat. Velcro never hesitated to let me know who was REALLY in charge. There was also Alexandra the Grey, commonly called Miss Alex or Rascallion. She looked like a little devil but was the sweetest cat ever. She's the one in my avatar with the big super shiny eyes. Also had my Kris-Cat whose formal name was Kriss-Rrit. He believed firmly that the entire world existed to be his friend and that he never got beyond being a tiny fuzzy little kitten. Of course, I never tried to disabuse him of either notion. Right now I have Miss Munchkin who missed being tagged with Shadow by ** that much for her habit of following me around everywhere around the house. Not sure where the Munchkin name came from, but it is very firmly hers, and fits her pretty well.

Stripes should be "Get down from there goddammit!" He likes to get up on the entertainment center. There used to be knicknacks and stuff up there. Now there is one clock that he surprisingly doesn't mess with, and the stereo speakers which I occasionally catch him trying to chew on.

Stars could be "Please come out from under the bed..!"

The family dog's nickname is also Shithead (real name Bruno). Although, honestly, he'll answer to anything shouted in his general direction.
