I used to have a cat named "Piffles". I thought it was a pretty ridiculous
name for a cat (I didn't name her).

Bartles and Jaymes wanted me to tell Squeeky Pud that they like that name.
It' better than some of their nicknames. Like Bart Fart, and Jaymes the
pooper.

My cat is called "T-bone". She always sleeps on the central heating radiator...

When I adopted (and renamed!) Gracie from the shelter, her name was
Puddy Joy.
My boyfriend had a cat growing up which they got on St. Patrick's Day.
They named her Mrs. Murphy, and she had this uncanny knack for giving
birth on holidays. Honest!

Josie has become "Mrs. Dalrymple" because she's such an old lady (in manner, not age).
Virginia is now "Wheedle Whan" (husband-speak for Little One) because she's so
much smaller than the other two.
By the way, they all have about five nicknames, depending on what they are up toor what rules they are currently breaking.

black, male, street kitten with leukemia (i.e a life destined to be cut
short) wandered into my household, I didn't hesitate to name him after a
nationally known rap artist now serving time for a gang related murder:
SNOOP DOGGY DOG...
But just to avoid any infringement on the name, I spell my cat's name:
SNOOP DOG E. DOG (remember Ben E. King?)

How about "Supreme Grand Champion Thomcats Aubergine"?
She's The International Cat Association's 1993 Best Bombay, and in my lap.
Her name sounds beautiful, if you don't know French...
She answers to "Gina" and "Rooster"(!).

My father-in-law's cat has gone through at least nine names.
The three I can remember are Footsie, Grasshopper, and Mierdito (I
believe this means "Little Shit" in Spanish...correct me if I'm wrong.)
Arrow (not silly until you consider the people also have a beagle
named Colonel Beauregard -- Beau and Arrow)
My cats:
Imp: becomes Impersicle. Why? I don't know.
Nebu: Is short for Black Dust Nebula.
Quark: I would never dare call him anything ridiculous. He has
perfected a "deeply shocked and offended in a well-bred way" expression.
Most cats know this expression. But Quark has _perfected_ it.

This is quite cosmic. My best friend has two cats, Jasper and Merlin, who
quite consistently are referred to as "Jasper and Rasper".

We call our cat all kinds of names, most of them were made up by my husband.
Anyway at various times we call the little guy:
a pig, a horse, a prairie dog, a little rodent, a wild animal,
bozo, dufus, buddy boy, seafus (don't know what this is supposed to mean),
night nuisance, road kill (when he sleeps on his back), zoom zoom and
zoomer.
Of course he only answers to his real name (when he feels like it that is).

reminded him of a mushroom because when we first got her she would hide in
the dark closet corners and curl up in a little ball with no eyes or nothing
showing...he started calling her morel (like the mushroom) and it kind of
stuck, although i insisted that we spell it like this:"Morelle"...
Goofy huh?

Little Fart. He was a tiny thing--malnourished when I got him from the
pound and definitely a few marbles short! I sure felt stupid wandering
around the neighborhood calling "Here Fart, Here Fart", though.

Well, funny you hsould mention this. I work as a DJ, and adopted a cat
a week and a half ago. I held a contest on the Radio to name him, and
the winning entries were put together to form Complex Sterling. Now,
good old C.S. is about 14 months to 16 months old, and he is alreay
getting MASSIVE... not just fat, but BIG (he's not even Neutered yet.
So, one nickname came out of what I was calling him before he was
named... "The Nameless Wonder", which now is just WonderMoose. Plus,
he has been yowling continually for the past few days (a female must
be in heat nearby), prompting me to add ThunderKitty to the list.
Also: He is picking up on the hints I have been giving him
that he is not suppoed to step on the computer's keyboard, so his full
regal name at the moment is:
Complex Sterling, Wondermoose Thunderkitty Extraordinare....
Is this a bit much? :-)

Well, I currently have two cats, one of which is named 'He's
Not A Fucking Picasso' (I didn't name him, and we call him Picasso).
I can't spell the other cat's name, but it's something like
Shiduznthavwaniet Eylthinkuvwanleytr, and we call her Sheedy. (My
roommate named her.)
My previous roommates had a cat whose name was (is, it's just
that they moved) Snabblagad. This is a Swedish word meaning
approximately 'quickly cooked'. My roommate saw the word in one of
my cookbooks a couple of weeks before getting the cat and commented
(without knowing what it meant) that it sounded like a good name for a
cat, and so when he rescued her, that's the name she got.
Some friends of mine have a 'tradition' of naming cats after
Shakespearean kings; a pure white one is named Banquo, and a black one
Cymbeline. They're both female cats. :)

sometimes "The Phaph". (Wouldn't dream of spelling it with an F). When cute,
"phaphur-face".
Shimsa (actually spelled Siamsa), became "Beamsa", then "beamer" and sometimes
"The Beamer Cat". I guess this is because we can't afford the BMW but she sure
purrs like one.

I have three cats, Babe, the oldest (10yo) has been called at various times
in her life: Baby, Babester, Butterscotch Butt, and Marshmallow (she's almost
completely round!); Toonces (4yo) (already named when I got him at 9 weeks)
has gotten called: Toonceman, the Toonster, Toonceguy, and Rotten Boy, and our
latest addition, Thomas (3mo) gets called: Peanut (he's an orange and white
tabby, and he was 6 weeks old when we got him), Monkey, Monkey Boy and Monkey
Face. The "Monkey" thread are the latest nicknames, because he's taken to
going up the stairs by hanging off the side instead of walking on the steps!
They are all crazy, but I couldn't imagine a house without them.
Take care,
Kathryn

I look after two Somali tom-cats - brothers - their names are Flip and Flop!
(I think these names may have been bestowed on them by their owners'
grandchildren, actually).

Come to think of it, my brother has two cats, from the same litter.
They're very bright-red orange tabbies -- named Ruff and Reddy.

We have several cats but one in particular my husband
named -- "Dinner" he showed up at dinner time very
tiny, cold and hungry. His nickname is gd for garbage
disposal cuz he eats everything imaginable. The kids
get a kick out of his name as well. We also have a
cat named Jello cuz there's always room for one more
which there is.

As you guessed by now we live on a farm and aquired most
