Funny cat naming stories

[Laura's Babies]

I forgot about how Amy got her name. I brought her home from the pet store where she was in the cage with her 2 other litter mates. My son and his wife were with me. Once we got her home and put her down, I said "we have to name her! WHAT?" so we took turns throwing names around... we all agreed "no!" "no!' "no!" to all the names that were mentioned.. When my DIL threw out the name "AMY!" WE all instantly agreed, it fit and was purfect for her!

Right after New Years Day in 1994, my SO rescued a little kitten from behind a pizza place. We were casting about for a name, when she started curling around and rolling on the floor. She twisted around so much, I said, "That cat is like a Mobius strip!" So she became Mobius (Moby for short.) She'll be 15 in September.

My Creamsicle got her name because of her coloring. I scooped her up and said "I could just eat you up cuz you look just like a little Creamsicle!"

Peeka and Boo, brother and sister, got their names because Peeka used to peek around corners and Boo is a black cat who used to pounce at you when you least expected it, as if he was saying "Boo!"

Pigeon was named so because of the way she coos.

Specs got his name due to the white around his eyes, making it appear as though he's wearing spectacles.

Yoda got her name because she always had airplane ears. Little did I know it was because she had an ear polyp at that time.

Puddy got her name from the cartoon where Tweety Bird would say "I tot I taw a puddy tat" because she hid from me when I went to pick her up at the home where she was living and when I found her, that's what I said, so the name Puddy stuck.

When he would walk away from me, his balls were so cute and brown and fuzzy that I'd squeal "Just look at those cute little Coco Puffs!" So that's how he got his name.

Great story and cute thread.
Storm was already named by the Humane Society and I liked his name so I kept it. Even before I adopted Sunny, I was going to name my next cat Sunny because I was looking for a male orangie. Little did I know that this name would fit him so perfectly. Sky was named Herman and I couldn't stand this name for him so I named him Sky after his pretty blue eyes. Starr was being called Sammy because he was supposed to be adopted by another lady but she later changed her mind. I thought the name Starr suited him. Both Pearl and Ziggy Stardust were already named by another PT'er K & L and I liked both of their names so I kept them. Pearl was my grandma's name so it does have meaning for me and Ziggy Stardust was named this because of her odd eyes.:

My RB Pepper was named Chocolate but he was a black cat not brown and I thought this name was too long. I decided to name him Pepper because he was black, he started sneezing,and he was full of pep. Little did I know that Pepper was such a common name.

[Scooter's Mom]

Scooter Bug was about 5 weeks old when my neighbor brought him to me. She found him at the school bus stop. She's not a kitty person, but knew I was (my ex-hubby and I had 3 others older than Scooter). At first he was "no name" because we were NOT keeping a 4th kitty. Then he changed to Fizgig (from a cartoon). After about a month, I realized he always sat at the end of my bed while I watched tv or was reading, and he'd scoot up one little step at a time. Then he'd sit on my shoulder and bug me to pieces! So, he named himself. He is my sweetest baby.

Charlie was named Calvin at the shelter we adopted him from. We tried to call him Calvin, but it just wasn't sticking. So he became Charlie and it really just seems to fit him so much better.

Jingle Belle - you all know how she was named. We found her three days before Christmas last year. First thing I did was call my best friend in Houston and she and her daughter and I came up with a name for her while looking at her picture on the computer together. I usually call her "my little bella" or "get off of there!" but Jingle Belle fits too.

My best friend and her hubby (who is my ex-hubby) have a kitty named Twinkie Boo. When Dave and I got him he was so tiny he fit in a shirt pocket. (We were at the vet and someone brought in an abandoned kitten, we couldn't leave him there.) He still had blue gray eyes and barely sat! Dave and I worked all day, so we took him to my mom who was not working at that time, and she bottle fed him and taught him how to go potty in a litter box. He is orange and white, and her cuss words for him when he'd be ornery was "you little twinkie!" So, we named him Twinkie. When we took him home when he was old enough, she called so often to check on him! She loved that little guy. He isn't so little now, though!

When he would walk away from me, his balls were so cute and brown and fuzzy that I'd squeal "Just look at those cute little Coco Puffs!" So that's how he got his name.

As a male, I vigorously protest this story.

LOLOLOLOLOL, The things women notice!
