I call my cats by pet names of, sweetie, bunny (I have no idea why I call cats bunnies), love. I also call them by the pet names of bogan, hooligan, and ruffian. "Which one of you hooligans did this?" is an often used phrase in my home. My cats are very good at looking innocent when they are guilty; and looking guilty when they've done nothing wrong. They drive me crazy. I love them with all my being.
