It doesn't apply in my case, but I like the idea of a goddess called Bubbles and a Taco Bell item called Squanch.

My girl cat Persephone got a goddess name, but we normally do old lady names and had a mental block on them at the time. So Percy it is.

When I adopted my cat his name was LuciPurr and I promptly renamed him to Lucifer

[–] Linkalee@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

So you renamed him from LuciPurr to LuciFur, got it

Hey, you leave Crunch Wrap Supreme alone, he's a good boy.

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 62 points 2 days ago

"Crunchwrap Supreme", but we just call him "Crunchy" for short.

I have a girl cat named Preggo.

We rescued her during a tornado storm, in Arkansas, and we thought she was pregnant so I just called her Preggo.
By the time we got her to the vet we found out she's not pregnant, just fat and weird, however by that time she got used to being called Preggo so we just kept that up.

At first I was confused about why someone would copy some random twitter user's post on here, but now I'm even more confused about why someone would fake a month old twitter post

I mean I respect the art, it definitely had an effect on me

That's crazy! Although I've told this story many times before haha, I'm surprised a bot picked it up but not at the same time.

I am genuinely truthful in my story haha, she's an awesome cat!

We name all the cats regardless of sex after something to do with literature. But that's their government names and I normally don't use those online to protect their tiny kitty privacy.

All their nicknames are like

Jerkcat Babycat Dingus YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC creature Sweetie Grey ghost Great hunter

Look, just anything that pops into my head as I sing sweet nothings to them

Current cat is creature often. Little weird creature.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Aww we've got a YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC at home, too

My Boy: Rails, for Ruby on Rails.

My Girl: Sushi, cause she's black and white and looks like a roll.

[–] groet@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope your cat never finds out he could have been called ruby but you choose to go with rails....

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We had a Ruby but she died 😢

I once lived with a male Norwegian mutt named Nipsey Russel.

He was an interesting character like his namesake. He was an amazing cat who loved alcohol, you literally had to keep an eye on your drink.

wtf is Taco Bell?! AND WHY IS MY PHONE AUTO CAPITALISING THE NAME!!

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Because corporate logos and names are our new deities. Chill out and have a Star Bucks!

The stray calico kitten that hangs out on my porch and in front of my front door I named Princess because she is regal and demanding.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Funny, I’m close to the opposite. My boy cat is named after a god (Apollo, Greek god) and my girl cat is named after my favourite drink (Islay, scotch from Islay, Scotland).

When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine's coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

I think I call mine kitty or kitten most the time, she's like 8 years old.

Which is kind of funny, you'd think a white cat would better fit "light bringer"

Luna - male

Eclipse - female

Madame (formally Freya) - female

Bat - female

Ding - male

Rainbow bridge: Gaia - female, Apollo - female

Bat and Ding had those names at the shelter and we didn't see a reason to change them. Luna ... We were told he was a she as a kitten, and after a week of proper nutrition we saw the boy bits and just kept the name. Apollo was purposely named that way because we already had one swap and then we'd have the sun and moon.

Boy: Rocky, Guardian, Scout, Peewee, Houdini, Big Boy

Girl: Socks, Magellan, Diva, Leia, Izzie, Ozzie, Fireball, Ditto, Belle, Oreo

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Chalupa Batman and Osiris.

lol.

All of my cats were named after Star Wars characters. No one, regardless of assigned gender, needs to be named “ Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos.”
