Cat Names
 
Just got a new cat, he needs a need a name.

I was thinking of naming him Jimmy Clark, but I am open to suggestions.

Chief or Colonel....that might be a little redundant, tho;)

I was thinking of naming him Emerson Fittipaldi, but I figured everyone would just call him Emmo, which would be fine, except my nickname is Mo.

(By the way, clever to notice the colonel reference)

No opinion here without a picture of the cat.

Zeke 02-06-2009 10:30 AM

I'd had:
Topsy, Turvy, Ignatz, Elliot, Miss Priss, Dollie, Zeke and a couple more I can't remember the names.

Zeke is actually pretty good.

pwd72s 02-06-2009 10:36 AM

Have a relative you don't like? Name the cat after that person. Cindy's uncle did that...named the cat after his sister...one who would never shut up, talking about inane things. That way, he could tell the cat to shut up...;)

herr_oberst 02-06-2009 10:38 AM

I got him on my 50th birthday, hes grey, I'll post a pic later.

I thought of that, and Hans Stuck, (I know, Austrian, but lets not quibble) and Niki Lauda but they don't roll off the tongue like Jimmy Clark and Emerson Fittipaldi do

(German should be german for gutteral)

Toonces! Ha Ha!

Well the cat's grey and the auto union cars were gray/silver and Bernd Rosemeyer drove the auto union cars and the auto union cars are old and you are old and the gray cat looks old....so just call him "BR.":D

what's the point of naming an animal that won't come when you call?

Wow!

Dueller 02-06-2009 10:53 AM

Got it: Weissach. And after you neuter him you can pronounce it "WEE SACK.":D







With a Jackie Stewart accent if you wish;)

This illustrates that cats are smarter than dogs. Call a dog, he comes. Call a cat, he comes only if he wants to.

Amail 02-06-2009 11:54 AM

Or, as my sister put it, "Cats always land on their feet - Dogs always know when it's their birthday"

tangerine911S 02-06-2009 11:55 AM

Name him Dammit.




"Come here Dammit!"
"What have you done now Dammit!"
"Dammit, you never listen to me!"

Burmese, chocolate brown, super short very soft fur, Frangelica.

Himalayan - Mostly white/beige. Looked like a dirty snowball. Kohoutek aka "Comet". No one ever understood “Kohoutek”, so he was simply comet. When he would throw up, he was "Vomit Comet".

I had a mostly black cat (one white spot underneath, to keep him from being unlucky)that ended up being called "Dusty". It was more a condition, than a name. Other names used for the cat were "Dustball", "Catball", ball became synonymous with cat.

Tuxedo cat, perfect black except for white bowtie across his nose. His name became Mohawk, because of the "Mohawk Country Club" my parents belonged.

Then there was Linden. He whined all the time, so was named after my favorite vineyard of the time: Linden in North-west Virginia.

The latest ones.

Camille - she would get into these fits when she was a kitten, and spin, sort of chasing her tail. A Camille is a storm or a tantrum/fit, from my French Canadian father in law. She is the "mono-rail" cat I've posted.

I needed to name her twin brother and contacted my French cousin. He was the most loving cat. I needed a name nice French lover, and my cousin said that such a thing did not exist! Anyway, she suggested "Rodin", since Camille Claudel and Augustus Rodan were lovers. I couldn't name him that, since I knew my father would shorten it to "Rodent". Well, he ended up with that name and sure enough, my father called him Rodent.

We have an outdoor cat that we feed, who used to be called "Gata Negra", but has been renamed "Gato Negro", since he's a male, and is more than occasionally called "Obama".

For a grey medium to long hair, I'd call it dusty. For a short "blue" grey cat, I'd call him Azure or Azul.

Other theme suggestions on the color grey: "Gris", pronounced like "grease" (Spanish) or like "Gree" (french), for grey. Or German: Grau, like "ow" with a 'g'. Maybe Über Grau, for the Ultimate Grey cat. You could occasionally call him 'Ug" for short.

hey we had a female cat we named BOB.

was a stray that was always around...then one day she was holed up in a box in the garage with a litter of kittens. we were able to give them all away but mom stuck around so BOB became a member of the family for another 10years.

mudman 02-06-2009 12:51 PM

Male or female?
