Also dictators. I know boy cats named Meowsolini and Chairman Meow.
Saddam Hussein, and Saddam Hussein’s best friend
Saddam *Hissein
Behind the Bastards?
You betcha
When I adopted my cat his name was LuciPurr and I promptly renamed him to Lucifer
So you renamed him from LuciPurr to LuciFur, got it
I have a cat named Francis, but sometimes I call him Francisco Franco 😂
You listen to behind the bastards don’t you?
I don’t, should I?
“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.
Wtf? Is dead internet true?
Now think of every tweet screenshot we’ve seen, and how many we’ve actually checked to see if it’s legit. Scary because nearly all of us must have fallen for lies at some point
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!
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
My Boy: Rails, for Ruby on Rails.
My Girl: Sushi, cause she’s black and white and looks like a roll.
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.
Aww we’ve got a YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC at home, too
My princess is named: Winter.
Because she’s white.
These are my cats, Athena and Ultimate Cravings Box.
My friend has a cat named Apollo and the man lives up to his name
He takes Americans to the moon?
a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more
He gets people very far from wapakonetta
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.
If bat and ding are patterned/spotted. Then the dingbat joke kind of fits. (Dingbat characters are characters used in printing, that instead of being letters are ornamental pictograms, which from a far look like ink spots most of the time. i swear i remember there being long, whispy characters made as edge fillers, but i can’t find them anywhere.)
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).
Not Laphroaig?
My next cat will be named Quarter Cask
Brb getting a cat so I can name it Lagavulin
Black male cat: Lucifer
Which is kind of funny, you’d think a white cat would better fit “light bringer”
It’s post downfall
I too have a Luci. He’s the best worst cat ever.
Mona and Nachos… Can confirm.
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.”
One of my girl cats was literally named Girl Cat.
We currently have a female cat. We called her sky. Beforehand we had a male cat, all white with a black head. We called him yorshik. Which i’m quite sure it’s a corruption of the russian for toilet brush… Poor thing.
Doing a quick search on “Yorshik” (Ёршик), of the very few sources I could find on the topic, while the word does seem to translate to “brush” there doesn’t seem to be any surface connection to toilet brush per se, though naturally it may be possible on a colloquial level.
This source that deals with meanings and etymologies of Russian words says:
Слово «ёршик» является диалектным выражением, используемым в русском языке для обозначения маленькой ёлочной игрушки в виде ёлочной ветки или шишки. Это слово имеет древнерусское происхождение и связано с древними славянскими обрядами, связанными с поклонением природе и деревьям.
Which DDG translate says means
The word “brush” is a dialectal expression used in the Russian language to refer to a small Christmas tree toy in the form of a Christmas tree branch or cone. This word is of Old Russian origin and is associated with ancient Slavic rites associated with the worship of nature and trees.
The only other resource I’ve found is this 11 year old YouTube video in Russian, that I can’t really understand. They seem to be joking about something, and “New Year” is mentioned, but I didn’t hear the word for toilet.
As far as I can understand, Yorshik seems to mean “brush” or “little brush”.
the name was born as a joke from my multilingual aunt and got deformed to hell by us not really knowing what it meant other than her vague explanation. It was most likely a longer word that got truncated into something more pronounceable in my native language, so it’s not too out of the question that it lost a lot of meaning in the process. Though “little brush” also fit well with how bristly his fur was. So he may have gotten off better than we originally intended :-P.
