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:

I have two void brothers.

Booker

• Book
• Booger
• Bookbookbookbookbookbookbookabookabooka
• Booker DeWitt (his full name) when he’s being very handsome.

Hollow

• Scaredycat
• Boy
• Fatty

Both of them also get called

• Mister Man
• Void (said as many times as feels right)
• Stinkybutt
• Boysboysboysboysboysboysboys (into perpetuity)
• Handsome

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.

This is Oliver. I mostly call him:

• Little Boyyyyyyy! (Singsong, obviously)
• Beautiful Baby
• Little Baby Man
• Stinky Boy
• Goofy Little Guy
• Crunch Boy (when he’s eating)
• Whiny Baby (when he’s feeling talkative)

Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.

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:

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.

Name: Aaron Purr

Nicknames: Biscuit Boy, Boffin, Little Babushka, Baaronki Paponski the Zoozahzonski, Bahba, the VP, Bisco Pisco Sour,

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:

• Poss
• Poss-cat
• Poss-kitty
• Poss-ghetti and meatballs

Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two…)

The calico: Mew

• Meow
• Meeeeoooooooow (when she is sad & I have to call her)
• Ms. Majestic (or something like that)
• Big Mew
• House tiger

The void: Tommy

• Thomas (his official name, when he’s majestic)
• tom (when he’s derpy)
• ROTUND/Massive object
• Le creature
• Fat Tommy/Tommy Fat/My-Fat-Tom/My-Tom-Fat (yup it’s just shuffling words)

Both:

• Massive fluffs
• Le chonkers (or something like that; one came in as a skinny stray & the other was a baby, but they are both very well-fed now)

Tommy is on a diet I promise

Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)

• Stixer
• Stixie

Diesel, orange (named in memory of my friends cat)

• Dieseler
• Dieselkins

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

Mush mush. Her real name is Altima.
