For some reason, several months back, whenver calling Desiree I would
call her "Desiree Doodles". I have no idea why. Lately it's just been
Doodles and even, God help me, Doodlooski. When tickling her stomach
(which she loves), I even tell her she's Doodle-icious. Kill me. Please.
Kill me.

Our cat Mickey became Mickey Doodle and his poor name has been reduced down
to Doodles as well. However, to make myself feel better I try to alternate
it with Mickey and Mickey Doodle. How in the world do these things come about?

Terra (wasn't named by me)

Maximus-CBCS (Named after the BBS software... the CBCS, in our case, stands

Tom (how unoriginal can you get? :-)
Ozzie (adopted name was Izzy, so we just changed it)
Of course, there were some intermediate cats that we cared for...
Trouble (he brings fleas and an appitite, stays outside when he does come
over. Owned by neighbors, but we occasionally give him a bite)
Spot (I just happened to be watching a STTNG episode with Data's cat when
this nervous little kitty came over.)

I always though I was a bit weird for doing this type thing with my cats'
names. With mine, I do stuff like add "dee" to the ends of their names
(e.g. "Fermi-dee") or add w* to them (e.g. Fermi-wirmi, Dixie-wixi,
Zima-wima). Pretty dorky, huh? I'm sure the cats think its a little
goofy.
I also name behaviors, like the "Fermi Flop" that they all do when I come
home from work every day. The walk up to the door and just flop over and
look up at me. Then I give each one a really good belly rub. Old family
cat Belvedere used to "Mrack" which meant she would get up suddenly and
streak down the hall and meow, but when her feet hit the ground the meow
got cut off abruptly and it sounded like "mrack". She used to do this a
lot.

My Elvis (aka the Luuuuuv Kitty, or Moo) does the same thing. We call it
"flumping", he's managed to teach it to Bogart (aka Demon cat from the
nether pits of hell, Meep ('cause that's the only sound he could
make when we got him), Booger, or the boginator). It's kind of funny
to see 2 cats come into a room, sidle up to where you are sitting,
and then collapse as if they have been shot.
Gotta love 'em.

Twilight is "blubber-wimp" (13+ pounds and timid). He's also my
"BIG baby".
Moontigger is "butterball" (as in a rotund turkey).
Shadow is "hyper kitty". We also think she'd make a good StarFleet

Our name variation for the cats is to rhyme their names: thus,
Fender-Bender, Dave the Rave, and S'tinker (for Tinker, SO's cat).
We only "w*" the dog, and not with her name (Bear) - she's a
"doggy-woggy".

My parents are even worse. They nursed a torn-up stray back to health,
intending to give her to a good home (not that our home isn't good, but
we'd just lost a 15-year old poodle and weren't ready to get attached to
another pet). Well, she picked our home, and 1 1/2 years later she's
still just "White Kitty." My mom was too embarrassed to tell the vet
that, so on the records she's "Whitty." Ugh!

We use the *w* thing as well, Foubister becomes Foubie Woobie or indeed
Foubie Woubie Wee, he got a valentines addressed to Mr F. W. Wee once. I
knew a cat called Moses who ended up being called his nickname, Peakness
which was a variation of pixie (your guess is as good as mine). Foubie
also gets called Fluff Master, on account of his extreme fluffiness (we
think he's part Maine Coon). And like above, frequently "you wee hairy
b**tard"when he plays at ambushes in the morning when I've got no
shoes on.

Julius became "fuffy cat" when his tail fluffed out once, and the name
stuck. Now he's "His Fuffiness" or "fuffybutt" at times. Also goes by
"huge Jooj".
>(we think he's part Maine Coon).
Because of all his nice luxuriant fur (nicely thick for a shorthair)
and his size, I'm wondering about Julius as well.
He heard me typing about him and is now sitting in my lap, watching
what I type...

the vet they had to sedate her to give her the shots. She was just 10 weeks
old, but the doctors couldn't get anywhere near her. They even tried
to hold her in a towel. Anyway, when I took her home, she was so
stoned that she would look into a glass of soda and move her head back
when the bubbles came up.
Snowball's nickname is Ballsy because when she was a kitten she would
attack Spinx (who, at the time was 2) who had never seen another cat
since she was a day old (I hand-raised her). Snowball literally had
to hold her down to show her that licking each other and snuggling
was a GOOD thing. At this time Spinx was about as nice to Snowball
as she was the vet.

My cat's name is Chanel. She was named after the designer, Coco Chanel.
We usually call her Chanel, but sometimes:
Chanel O'Bean
Chanel O'Bean of the O'Beans
Chanel O'Bean of the O'Beanacustermusters
Chanel-a-Vision (like the old movies that were filmed in VistaVision)
The Bean
Little Bean
Little Rowr
Littlest Rowr
Littlest of the little Rowrs
The little black and white chocolate moo-cow (can you guess her markings?
;-) )
Her latest nickname, now that we live in a house and let her get her way
more is "Her nibs."
We've had her for 11 1/2 years, so it's been an awfully long time since
she was a kitten and we called her "Fur Face."
The only name I'm sure she recognizes is Chanel. I did notice recently
that when we were talking about her and saying "the cat," she looked up.
Sorry if it's been discussed recently, but what words do you think your
cat understands? In addition to her name, I am sure that my cat
understands "no." If I use the right tone, she will even stop dead in
her tracks; but that tone is reserved for serious things. She also
understands "good stuff" (wet food), but I think that's largely the
tone. She seems to be learning "out" as in "do you want to go out?"
Chanel also seems to understand "snuggle" and "cuddle." Geez. Maybe she
can read. Guess who just came by!

Bozo 'understands':
"Do you want supper?" (MRoooowwwr?)
"Are you hungry?" (MraAH!)
"Do you want me to feed you?" (MAWH!!)
"Do you want out?" (myewww)
She also responds to "fuzzy-butt", "stupid cat", and "hey, you".

Jupiter sometimes becomes Poopie (he answers to that more than Jupiter)
Max is called Maxie-Moto,
Minnie is called Minsky or Min-Hoser,
Bernie is called Ber-noogie or Bern-stein.

try and kill) and "are you hungry?". She also knows her nickname
(Butt) and will generally come when I call her.

Lets see, our cat is named Hops (her brother was Barley) (we didn't name her,
her previous owners did)...
I call her Hopsalina (like the K.d. Lang song "Bopalena"), Mouse, Kitty Mouse,
The Incorrigible Kitty Mouse, Mousk (we just saw the Mask last night...),
Fuzzbutt (my husband's contribution), Little Her...
Of course, I rarely call my husband by his name...but if I posted those names,
I think I'd be murdered! :)

>cat understands?
Ours understand "no," "GET DOWN!", "'Scuuuse me," "Thank you," "Good
boy/girl," "I'm sorry," their own names, and probably a few other things
I can't think of. IN addition, Serenity understands "ball" (for a long
time, her favorite fetch toy), and "Are you huuuuuuungreeeeeee?" Of
course, there's probably more that we aren't even aware of, since we have
a tendency to just converse with them in normal English (when we aren't
