Pet nicknames are wonderful--it's like everytime your cat does something new, weird, wacky or wonderful he/she deserves a new nickname. Our oldest cat, Houdini, also gets called Houdilini the Pasta Cat (he had a bit of weight problem and looked like he ate lots of pasta!). He's also called Houdlums--when he's bad. And Houdi Fajita when we he hides, rolled up, in the bed blankets. Romeo is a more sedate and less robust cat, so we call him simple things like Romeomsters, or just Romesters. Now our younget and newsest cat Sugar gets called by many different names, including Sugar Puff, Sweetie (reference to Sugar although she is very Sweet in her own right. We also tend to start singing the song "Sugar, do, do, do, do , do do, ah, honey, honey. You are my candy girl and I can't stop loving you..." Yes we are silly, but we love it!

I liked reading some of the recent posts in this section where some of you have mentioned the nicknames or "pet names" for your cats (the names you have for them in addition to their given names). So now I'd be interested to hear what nicknames everyone has given to their cats! It's funny how we can give cats multiple nicknames! My kitty's name is Saima, but I also call her: Saima Sue, Mooshoo, Meeshoo, Booboo, Kitty Bumptious, Little One, Bugaboo, Little Girl, Snookums, Babycakes, etc. I think if anyone ever heard me talking to my cat in the way that I do, they'd think I was off my rocker!
