new cat in the house and it needs a name...
We got another cat from the local shelter yesterday. 5 year old spayed female black tabby that has been declawed (I hate it when people do that).
My son wants to name it "Tabby" . Discuss... |

How about "Cat", or "other cat", or "thing that doesn't come when you call it anyways so might as well just change name daily"......
 You can just tell that I'm a big cat person, huh?

Eek? Oreo? And, my personal favorite, "Stinkyhead".

For years all my pets bore the names of dead presidents or first ladies.
I still have a cat named Woodrow.

Calvis is interesting, but too close to my son's name (Calvin). For reference, the other cats are: Atilla - when we got her from the shelter in San Francisco, she was the only cat shredding the stuff in her cage. She now is a 10-year old cranky lady who prefers to stay outside. Leela - a tiny one-eyed longhair cat from the Pasadena shelter. My wife got her becuase she said she didn't think anyone else would adopt a scrawny little one-eyed cat. She didn't mention the part about it biting anything that came close to it. It finally socialized after a year or two, and now is pretty mellow...Calvin can carry it around the house and it doesn't really car. We don't know how it lost its eye. The name is a Futurama reference. Milo - black and white male that is skitterish, and seems to like women better than men (I guess the neutering didn't alter its sexual preference. Previous cat names have been Pyewacket, Miles, Mingus, Sauza, Mojo, and Sparky. |

Buy them, sell them

I like cat names that are typically two-syllable and you can call them out.
I'm frequently out in the yard at dusk calling out: "Os-car! To-by!" Sometimes they come running, sometimes they don't. We have a curfew for our cats and they always come in at night. Even if I have to go looking for them with a flashlight. My neighbors must think I'm nuts, rooting around in the bushes, calling out a couple of guys names. That said, how about Janice or something?

Dogs much better-
I liked our cat when my wife got her. She was a kitten when we got her, and she managed to stay very small so we named her 'Mini', and she was very amusing for a while. Jet black and tiny.
Then after a couple of years she became a cat. Not so amusing anymore... Now it seems I only call her 'pain in the &^%$ing @$$'. There's a name for ya'- She throws up everywhere, goes into heat about 3 weeks of each month, and gets in my way at every turn- And God forbid I want to get close to my wife at times! The cat will have none of that, she squeezes in and meows like there's a dog nearby. To top it off, this cat never preens, so she smells like a homeless guy and steals my snacks when I'm not watching... I'll tell you this; I think she's hooked to the crack stuff! She wanders around like she's strung out all the time, doesn't take care of herself, and does nothing but complain all day long! Meow this and meow that- I'm beginning to think that I might not be a cat person.

When we adopted a little tabby a number of years ago, the lady at the SPCA asked: "Do you want to change her name?" I asked: "What is her name, then?" ...."It's Kitty"., she said "Kind of common, don't you think?"
Well, I told her that Kitty would be fine, and "Kitty" is the best cat we've ever owned. Moral: The name isn't as important as the cat.
