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:

Things I love about this comment:

  1. Singing Emmerly and Ivory
  2. Emmerly's mlem matching the cat food bag
  3. "Staredycat Sister's"
  4. The fact that Char Char is a tortoiseshell, because I think they look like orange cats that got stuck in a sooty chimney

Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.

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.

[-] martine@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago

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.

General von Mackensen. They look like they fought in both world wars.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 6 points 2 months ago

She fights every other cat she comes across.

And loses.

Aaah, true von Mackensen style

[-] Remorhaz@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] christian@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 months ago

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:

My boy Mo

Or:

  • MoMo
  • Moby
  • Mo-boy
  • Moraca
  • Mohamed
  • Mo-reese
  • Mostly harmless
  • Guiller-mo
  • Slow-mo

And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---

Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.

[-] martine@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

I'm losing it at Slow-Mo and Guiller-Mo

May I suggest, for when he is being a menace (I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)

  1. MoMoney MoProblems
  2. Moby Dick
  3. Quoth the Raven, Never Mo
[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

(I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)

You called that right. He's pretty much a Border Collie in a cat body. Those are definitely going into the rotation.

[-] CreateProblems@corndog.social 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Scout

Who 99% of the time is Scooty.

She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)

(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)

We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet

~~I'll add a picture when I get another break from work~~

Edit: pic tax

Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag

Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant

"Helping" me work from home

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He's orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.

[-] CreateProblems@corndog.social 8 points 2 months ago

Scoutabout and Scootums are both VERY good, we might have to start using those! 😁

Both:

  • 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

Two cats in a bathroom, both looking left.

Polina aka Apollinaria Cassiopeia last name aka Sackratte (imma let you ecose that).

She's tiny, she's a drama queen and if you pet her the wrong for 3 picoseconds, you'll get the teeth.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.

[-] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.
