All our kitties have nicknames. We call Uwe "Poohie" so much that we might as well give up with the Uwe part. Fido is "Doh." Jari (pronounced with a Y not a J) is "Jarikins" or "girlie girl." She used to be Jar-Jar until that Star Wars movie came out with that terrible obnoxious creature Jar-Jar Binks. Jack is Jack, which is short for Jack O'Lantern to start with, although I call him "Jack-O Pototo Head" a lot. Smudge is "Mister Smudge" which since Smudge isn't really a mister doesn't make any sense, but then again who said nicknames had to make sense?

As far as friends or family members who insist on calling your cat by another name, my DH insists on calling Jack O'Lantern "Jack A...." you get the idea.

I had a kitty named Cornflake once whom was consistently called Kellogg. I guess that is close.
