I have a gray tabby I’ve named Mr Cat and SHE doesn’t know she’s a cat. She has many alias’ her paperwork at the Vet is Pippi LongSTALKING. My daughter calls her Chonk, Turd Bundy cuz she beheads snakes like a champ, Kit Tenn, and Puppy. I have 11 grandbabies three dogs and 8 cats. My daughters named them : Remy, Rosie, Lemon & Cathrine, Beans, Jude, Jazmine, Janet, Beef, PAWL and Billy…Gender has no weight in their names as they are all sterilized and it’s politically correct says my kids.
Sarah, sounds like quite a brood!
My cat’s name is Enola, a feral calico, who is beginning to love being an indoor cat. My dog’s name was Baxter, the most amazing, silly, Boxer ever. I have had a lot of pets throughout my life and only two made the name list. A beagle named Max, who was one of a pair of beagles, the other was named Happy. My dad just showed up with them. That happened a lot, mostly with cats. I had a dog named Daisy who had been abandon and was covered with ticks. I cleaned her up and my son found a good home for her. I like to name my pets after characters from books I’ve read. I had a German Shephard/Boxer mix I knew was going to be huge so the name Tanker was my choice. The problem, the pup was a female. My nephew suggested Tankerbell, that was perfect. Her proper name was feminine, but for short we called her Tank. Dogs and cats are the best.
My cats names are Tiger, Mina, George, & Gracie & they fit them perfectly.
