Name: Emily
Nickname: Emmerly. Sometimes I sing "Emmerly and Ivory" to her 😁
Name: Charlotte
Nickname: Char-Char
I also refer to them as "The Sisters" or "The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters" since they are in fact sisters from the same litter and love staring at me, visitors, and each other 😄
A rare moment of them getting along outside of having fun playfighting:
Things I love about this comment:
I have two void brothers.
Booker
Hollow
Both of them also get called
My partner and I ALSO have
Mister Man
and
BOISBOISBOISBOISBOISBOIS
!!!
We don’t have stinkybutt, but I do call them “pooper”, and “poo tube”
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn't being an orange cat.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.
The last pic has big "phone home" vibes 👽
I think all cats are named "Stoppit." It's like in the taxonomy. Animalia cordata mammalia felidae stoppitae quitthatus felis catus
Sushi
My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su
If she's in trouble then it's Sushi Maki Roll <Our last name>
I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I've ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn't bury them in the litter.
Name: Blu
Nicknames:
General von Mackensen. They look like they fought in both world wars.
She fights every other cat she comes across.
...
And loses.
Aaah, true von Mackensen style
This is Oliver. I mostly call him:
Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
Mr Oxenfree!
This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo
She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.
I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we'd often refer to him as "the monster". Once you start calling your cat "Buddy monster" you'll find you're a very short distance from "monster of buddies I'm pulling your strings".
Here's Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
I'll add a picture when I get another break from workEdit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
"Helping" me work from home
We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He's orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁
My boy Mo
Or:
And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---
Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.
I'm losing it at Slow-Mo and Guiller-Mo
May I suggest, for when he is being a menace (I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
You called that right. He's pretty much a Border Collie in a cat body. Those are definitely going into the rotation.
Name: Aaron Purr
Nicknames: Biscuit Boy, Boffin, Little Babushka, Baaronki Paponski the Zoozahzonski, Bahba, the VP, Bisco Pisco Sour,
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?
The trick is having a decoy keyboard!
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"
Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.
Possum. Her nicknames are:
Left: Alcatraz
Alcatraz became Darkness became Dennis. A three year old saying Darkness sounds like Dennis. His name is Dennis now.
Nicknames: Supermassive black hole, big black ass
Right: Ipso Facto
Nicknames: Ipso Catso, Ipso Fatso, jerk, Ipso Untrusto,
"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."
Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two...)
The calico: Mew
The void: Tommy
Both:
Tommy is on a diet I promise
Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)
Diesel, orange (named in memory of my friends cat)
Together they are Dieselbub and the Prince of Darkness. They are brothers from the same litter and we love them very much.
Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable
Poe, Po-po, Mr. Popo, Big Orange, Big Arnj (on his hip)
Truman, Troomers, Trumy, Boomer, Little Orange/Arnj
Truman2
Poe2
Name: Nora
Nicknames: Nörchen, Norora Borealis, The Baby, Guardgoyle, My Darling, Mürzel
Norora borealis? At this time of year, at this latitude, localized entirely within your bedroom?
No pictures, sorry. Got two of them. (Two of them)
Pistache (Pistachio, classic Calico tabby)
And, Earl Grey (Super chonky muted tuxedo tabby)
Fully Loaded Potato is perfection.
Nyx, but every cat I have is either "kitty" or lately "monkey"
I'm at work with a new-ish phone so I can't pay the cat tax, I don't take many pictures :/
Mimo, memes, mats shmickelson when eating, captain zeiksnor when annoying and sjattepoemel when sweet.
Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.
Mush mush. Her real name is Altima.
Fitting nickname for a persian
Along with Crumple Zone and Brake Check.
Name: Nomi
Nickname: Nerbals (among many, many others)
Polina aka Apollinaria Cassiopeia last name aka Sackratte (imma let you ecose that).
She's tiny, she's a drama queen and if you pet her the wrong for 3 picoseconds, you'll get the teeth.

Wow I only see *********
I like that you took your time to count the characters
Hunter12
Nobody should be using pet names or nicknames in their passwords, period.
Snuggles, Struggles, and Franny.
Although we've started calling Struggles by new names such as Yappy Jackie, Gob, and Screamer.
Name: ToeKnee
Nickname: Tony
The standard issue one is Morpheus, and the orange is his younger sister (from a different litter) Avocado Toast. Together they are the international pop duo Morphy and Toasty (don't have anything sillier than that, though I will try to use any that get suggested).
Taco Bob often gets called Robert or Turkey Bird
Pliny is usually just Pliny or Pliny Kitty.
They're cuties! I love the trend of having a 'sillier' official name and getting formal for the nickname! Is Taco Bob a big fan of tacos, or is it more of a vibe thing?
I think Pliny not being Elder or Younger is a missed opportunity though :P
Name: Toffee (left)
Nicknames: Toff, Choff, Meatball, Lil Sis
Not nicknames but things she is: a gremlin, smooth-brained, a domestic terrorist, a princess, just a baby.
Name: Muddy Buddy (right)
Nicknames: Muddy, Buddy, Mudster, Pudster, Putty, Big Sis, Muddy Monster, Mud Bud,
Things she is: a big girl, a spooky ghost, a sad baby.
This is Luna. Her nicknames include: Stinky Lady, Baboona, Beepy Boopa, Loons, Lunar. Plus more that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
Lubochka / Lulu / Bochka / Bobo / Booboo / Bober / Boober / Luboo / Bochkin
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
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.
SIMBA -> SIMBABIMBA
yeah, that works nicely
We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.
We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."
Gadget, or sometimes just Gadg, more often Gadgey-poo. The other brat is Nova, or most commonly Nova-beans. https://youtube.com/shorts/Mn643qQTSlI
Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.
Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒
One of my cats is called Pipping but I call him Chonky (He's actually not chonky but behaves like he is.)
Big Chonk Energy
big chonk energy is real!
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.
Gusfraba (gusi, gus) and genebre (gine)
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”
Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!
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
Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.
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.
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)
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.
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.
Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.
