Strange things we call our cats...

[CalliesMom]

I know everyone has their nicknames for their little babies, but I feel mine might be most strange.

Here's the story so I don't sound completely insane: my husband has a much, much younger sister (he's 24 and she's about to turn 5 in January). Anyway, for the first 2-3 years of her life they always called her Nani goat??? for some unknown reason. Of course, I got use to calling her that and anything I say on a general basis gets warped to dealing with my kitties--you all know what I'm talking about...taking popular songs and making them into "cat songs," etc.

Somehow, the cats have become the "nawtee goats." I don't know why but I am a strange person. When I'm in a hurry and ask my husband how they are doing, I just call them the goats. "Are the goats behaving themselves?" "Do the goats miss me?" Am I crazy?

I call Doogie Doogie woogie. A variation of doggy woggy which is what I call Duke. But, I don't call them goats!

[Laura's Babies]

OK, Amy I call Baby Gurl...Mommies baby gurl..

Chester is Mommies BIG BOY!

They are all "My Babies" and referred to as such.... and I know everyone has heard me say I have to go get my "girls".. meaning all my female babies.. LOL!

This is horrible, but Kirin and Sushi have been dubbed "The @$$holes". I hadn't even realized it until my husband sat up in bed this past Sunday morning after I had fed the boys and locked them out of our room (so we could sleep past 6am, when they think we should get up) and said, "Where are the @$$holes?"

Kirin's newest nickname is "Fatty" because he finishes his food in about 2 minutes and then will eat the rest of Sushi's food.

Well my two cats Snowball and Rocky have interesting nicknames. Snowball's nickname is Noballs, because he has none literally and figuratively ! Sometimes, he's a big furry chicken. As for Rocky, his is Rockstar.

I call Ilio 'Ilo' sometimes... or Ilo-Bilo..
Ilio means 'dog' in Hawaiian (I purposely named him that), but 'ilo' means maggot! LOL

[Lacey]

Whee! Nicknames!

Zelda is either Ms. Prissy-pants or Sezzy Lady.

And Mowgli is most often Brat, Mowgi-bear, or Mowg-monster.

No cute stories to go with the nicknames. They just popped out of my mouth and I just kept using 'em.

[RedHedd]

Mitzi is often called Mitty ... it's those big white mitts that inspired her "real" name; itty-bitty-pretty-kitty. Mitzi-mess-maker. Meetza meatball.

Mishi becomes "Biggie" or my Big Boybee. Also MEESH! or Mishka or my Milinki Mishinki (phonetic spelling of my bad Russian!) "Milinki" means little in Russian and he's anything BUT little! Goofus, Goofy, Goony, my main Goon and/or silly cat

ROFLMBO We call them so many things....hmmmm...they prbably don't even know their real names. As roving toilet reporter, you can just imagine what some of them are called.
We have been battling diarrhea for months so they are often called little sh!t. In general they are referred to as monkeys kinda like CalliesMom's goats
Robbie is my "chunky monkey" or if he is really nawtee he is my "spunky chunky monkey"

Lizzie is caled silly cutesy things like Lizzie Wizzie Oh and Robbie usually comes out "Wobbie"

Emily's names are associated to royalty although I call her deragatory things to tease my hubby but I will leave it at that

Eliot has long been Smelibutt for obvious reasons.

Dylan is called by his real name or Dylie.

But little sh!ts is pretty common

[CalliesMom]

They all have their individual nicknames, of course.

Callie (my orange female tabby) tends to be called by her normal name, but when I use the term nawtee goat it is usally in reference to her. She can be AWFULLY NAWTEE at times...

Whisper is usally Whispy Crispy or Crisp Whisp..real original I know. My husband just refers to him as our um...gay kitty because he has a little feminine meow and tends to like men more than women (sorry if that offended anybody). Besides his little girly mew (if you heard it one would have to agree), he's the only kitty that does the little tail swishy thing when he is really happy.

Shadow is just...well a little ROTUND. She just gets called fatty (not by me...again the hubby is real original) but I like to call her nickname from me is love muffin. She is simply the sweetest cat, so I also call her punkin pants (in reality my husband's nickname but fits her too ).
