Cat Names That Always Smack at an Animal Hospital

- It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made a great name video! And let’s all be honest with each other… cats have the BEST names ;-) Looks like the dog lovers are just gonna have to prove me wrong in the comments.
“Sorry, I have to take care of a Work Email” sounds like a great way to get out of unwanted social engagements. :)
Absolutely!😂
Maybe they live in an apartment where no pets are allowed
Oooh so that's why!
You would not be lying. 😅😂
right 🤣
I once met a cat named Schrodinger because he was discovered sleeping in a box and it took a few minutes to verify he was alive.
Genius 😂
Schrodinger's a great name for a cat no matter what the story.
Im crying 😂😂😂
*Owner:* "Is Schrodinger going to be alright?"
*Vet:* "That depends..."
That's so clever!
My cat Rover's name was the bane of my Vet clinic. They finally changed his chart name to 'Rover the Cat' so the techs would quit panicking when they went to get 'Rover' for a procedure and couldn't find him in the dog room.
Reading this made my night. Thank you.
Reminds me of a cat I petsit named Spot. Makes sense since he's a cowcat.
seriously hysterical
Did they look in the car park too? :D
We had a tech actually look in the carrier and say "oh, it's a cat!" once. Her name is Charlie, it's not even a super doggy name...
missed the perfect opportunity to say Mjolnir can only be picked up by those deemed worthy -_- smdh
Should've been called "Mew-lnir".
Lol That's an epic name
Sourdough sounds like the perfect name for a fat, cantankerous kitty.
I'd say it's a family name, one that never dies and is used on each new cat.
It would be better if we get to see the cat itself.
So that's what we should've named our fat and grumpy calico Marilyn...
@@benwagner5089 This is true for all the best loafs
A perfect allusion to cat loaf 🍞
Tuxedo cat named Rental
😂😂😂
This made me laugh out loud😹
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That got a laugh
My cat's full name is Maximus (we call him Max) but I was at the vet one time with him and heard the tech call out "Okay, I'm looking for Monkeyface?" A young woman with a cat carrier stood up and said "Oh, it's actually MR. Monkeyface" and just casually walked back with the tech lol.
well did she take your spot?
The greatest cat name I've ever heard is still Princess Monstertruck. So good.
I know who you're talking about! The girl with the huge underbite! She has an IG account under the same name :)
In vet school, one of my favorite cat names was for an amputee cat. They named her Yardstick, because she only had three feet. 😂😂😂
A friend of mine had a three legged cat named Tripod.
One of my foster kittens was a three legged little guy named Pogo
That's genuinely brilliant
@@pegs1659 We had a three legged cat named Tripud. Like puddycat lol
I had a friend with a three-legged cat called "Tripod".
The Cat Distribution System dropped a kitten off in my yard. His name is now Squeaky Squeakersqueaks McSqueakerson von Squeaksalot because he communicates like a broke squeaky toy 24 hrs a day.
That is dedication to the name indeed 😂
I would love to be in the vet's waiting room when they call out that name. 😂
I think of Emperor's New Groove with that name
“The Cat Distribution System”
I love this!
I had a sweet girl I named Shadow (all black except for a spot on her chest) but ended up calling her Squeaky for the same reason. She never meowed.
My cat's name is Jimmychanga. I adopted him when he was 7 months old, and at first I didn't like the name, so I went through every name I can think of until I realized that Jimmy is who he is and will always be. He has about a million nicknames (what cat doesn't?), but some of the most commonly used are: Jimmy Shimmer, Yimmy, Bug, Little Bug, and Monkey Butt. 😁
It's so funny to me that every cat owner will use nicknames like I randomly started calling mine Fluff Butt.
There's always that one animal with a million nicknames. In our house its my mom's dog Homer.
He's homey, home-slice, homeboy, homer g. homer, homestar runner, etc. He gets confused too when I call for my boy Herman since its close enough in his ears.
Also have a Nova whose full name is Supernova, but we call her Nova Scotia and noodle horse.
@@MrDeathBunny lol I love it! Pretty much all the pets I've ever had have had endless amounts of nicknames. I think it's just inherent to those of us who love animals, and keep them as part of our families!
That’s so cute. Our cat’s name is Jimmy. One of his nicknames is Jimothy. 😂
the song "Jimmy" by M.I.A. is worth listening too for added flavor of names or mini songs to sing in their name. My cat's named Handsome, so I sing Cardi B's "I like it like that" and there's a line when she sings "oh he's so handsome what's his name?" So I sing that line to him in various melodies. 😸
I love naming my cats with completely normal human names. Like "Steve", or "Meredith"
Ours was Rufus Clyde. We had a black labrador/beagle mix named Sam as well. He was named after our garbage man. And his brother was Freddy.
I met a cat named Jason and a dog named Tom within the span of a week and I was LIVING! :D
My family’s tradition is to give our pets all human names for good luck. There was only one exception: Breezy the leopard gecko, because she was fast as the wind. Breezy also ran away in the car on the way to the vet and got stuck and died.
My kitten's name is Tobias, aka Toby.
Had 2 gerbils called Gin & Tonic. Getting their names shouted out at the vet was always a laugh.
When I was in Jr. High the science teacher let us take home gerbils for the summer. My older sister named them Whiskey & Brandy.
I have two gerbils each missing a limb, so they’re Swash & Buckle 🏴☠️
😂
Are you a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan?
I had a pair of light tan and cream gerbils called Spud and Tater. I found a vet that would neuter male gerbils in town, so with litter the whole group went to the vet to have Spud neutered. I put the jumbo kritter keeper on the counter when checking in, and the receptionist asked who was this? I said with a straight face, “This is Spud and Tater, and Tater’s tots.” (Litter of six about a week old). Whole front office had a good laugh.
I introduced my cat to the Vet as, "King Buddy the First, Emperor."
He looks at me funny, and asks, "Emperor? What did he conquer?"
"My heart."
"Fair enough." He turns to Buddy, does a proper full-on Roman Salute, and says, "Ave, Buddy Rex, IMPERATOR!"
I looked at his assistant, and said, "What was I just saying, about why I like hanging out with Health Care professionals?"
She giggles and says, "Because we're edumacated."
That sounds like a good vet :)
Ave, Buddy Rex, Imperator!!
edjumacated takes the cake.
your vet sounds amazing.
My cat's called Tennyson - his vet always came out to the waiting room and called 'Alfred, Lord Tennyson please'. Cue funny looks from the other owners, but cats would say the vet is just acknowledging their superior status.....😸
My dad named ourblack cat Cinderfella ❤ R.I.P. both of them ❤🩹
Awww, that´s bittersweet.
When shelters bring in groups of cats they often have a theme, helps to keep track of which batch each cat is from.
That's how a lot of shelter pets end up with weird names. I met a cat named Paper... His siblings were Rock and Scissors
Can confirm. The rescue my hospital works with brought us a mama and her kittens, each named after European capitals.
Yup! And the longer you're around naming groups the weirder they tend to get 😄
I saw a kitten named "Po" and his 3 siblings were "Tinky Winky", "Dipsy", and "La-La".
Cats always get the best/weirdest/most unique names, because cat owners don't usually call their names out in public.
100%. When I've taken my cats to the vet for shots and neutering they ask "how do you spell that?" and I just say "however you want, they don't spellcheck"
@@oopomopoo We had a female cat named Bretzel (pretzel in french), During a visit to the vet the receptionist spells it "Bretzelle" (feminizing the word) and we didn't even reacted, just all collectively thought "yup, I guess that's how it's spelled now."
Our current cat is Bounty, it's his legal name from the foster family, and we liked it so we didn't change it, he is black and white but I'm pretty sure he has an orange brain.
Someone I knew told the (possibly apocryphal) tale that he had a black cat named N***er.
Nah I think rodents have even more naming potential. for example, I know someone who named their guinea pigs all after food their fur resembled, Latte macchiato, Sracciatella and such
And then there’s my family naming cats. Every cat we’ve had has had a normal human name.
My niece's last name is Pack. Her cat is Six. The vet assistants love calling out her name, "Six Pack." 😂
Please tell me that's when a mega chonk enters the room...
Black Flag already wrote that cat a theme song.
@@powerpuff_avenger Mega_Chonk has entered the chat.
My sister did that with her dog. He was a black Labrador. Her married name is Meyer. They named the dog Oscar.
My cat is named Worf.
Dad liked Star Trek and my lil klingon warrior clings on to anything.
To avoid confusion and accidentally being called Wharf, he is registered as Commander Worf.
Many years ago, I got a cat at the local shelter. I was having a hard time finding a name that suited her until I realized I kept asking her "How's my baby?" So, that is how she got her name -- Baby. She never once meowed. Whenever she wanted to be let back in the house, she would knock on the door. One day, very early in the morning, after she had been "on vacation" for a few days, I heard a knock on my bedroom window. Baby was smart enough to know (a) I would not be able to her knock on the door at the other end of the house, and (b) that I would be in bed. Sadly, a few weeks later, she left for another "vacation" and never came home. She was a faithful companion for more than 10 years.
After Baby, I got a pair of 2-month-old kittens (sisters) from a co-worker. One was all black; the other had white toes. I tried to find names that went together. I finally settled on Puss and Boots. (Guess which one was Boots.) Puss passed at the age of 3 in my arms; and Boots at the age of 10. I have fond memories of the pair of them lying on my desk as I worked on my computer. Puss would sleep to one side of me; and Boots the other side -- I was the meat in a cat sandwich.
Within a month of Boots' passing, I went (again) to the local shelter and adopted Grrrl. She is quite good at knowing what time it is. Every evening around 10:00, she joins me on the couch -- often she can somehow hear me turn off my laptop. She has to make sure I do not forget her bedtime snack -- a handful of Whiskas Temptations treats. She has the softest fur I have ever felt on any of the many cats I have had during my 54 years in this world.
awwwww
My goodness, 3 is so young for a cat to die! Even 10 is young, though I did have one cat pass away from cancer when he was around that age. Most cats (at least indoor-only cats) live well into their teens. I hope you have better luck with Grrrl and any future cats!
Drywall was my personal favorite from the spay/neuter clinic I worked at. Cute little calico. I’m sure you can figure out where they found her
In 2007 I rescued a feral kitten that had been rejected by its mama from the ductwork of my central air unit. I named her Freon .
@@FidgetAndFreonXD
My mom has a cat named Pissous or something like that. Basically means piss on. The cat peed in the potato bag as a kitten. -_-“
😂
I read this and burst out laughing, “Drywall” is such a funny name
My girls(sisters) are Thelma and Louise. 😊😊
I had a cat named D.C. That stood for 'Damn Cat'. He managed to spit a pill the vet tried to give him back up the vet's nose. One of the assistants had to use forceps to retrieve the pill before it dissolved up there. This isn't how he earned his name, but let's just say it wasn't out of character.
Coincidence! - I had an orange bastard named Rotten, as in Rotten Damned Cat. He came to me in a Huggies box as a kitten.
My grandpa had a cat named DC! He got his name from the neighbor because he was very territorial and would chase her dogs out of my grandpa's yard.
There's a movie about a cat named that
D.C.'s not using an aimbot is he? that's wild accuracy to, as a cat, SPIT a pill into a NOSTRIL lol
@@Sphendrana I'm not sure he didn't do it on purpose, honestly. Some of his other adventures included:
He was built like a bulldog that did weight training. One time we were trying to get him to the vet (always a rodeo) and my wife got him with both hands on his scruff. He dug into the carpet with all 4 paws and actually managed to pull a full grown adult woman half way across the living room.
We got a full grown black lab/mix. The dog was about 65 pounds. D.C. instantly HATED the dog with a white hot passion. The dog instantly LOVED the cat. The first time the dog came home, he ran up to the cat and licked him from head to tail, then just stood there being a goof. D.C. looked up, saw that this was a boy dog, and swatted him in the manhood (doghood?). The poor dog almost did a forward flip when he jumped.
The dog liked to sleep under the cat post. D.C. would jump off of the top and land on the dog at least twice a week, and that was a 16 pound cat from 5 feet up. They eventually got to be friends, and would curl up together to nap, but the kitty suplex from the top rope never stopped.
D.C. would forget to swallow when he was being petted. He would start to purr, and drool uncontrollably. Like, buckets of cat drool. Cute and gross at the same time.
He passed on years ago at 17. He was an awesome little guy,, and I still miss the fuzzy little jerk.
Love Pico de Gato!!! and Work Email is so unique. When I was a kid we had a cat named OK, for Other Kitty. Trips to the vet were amusing.
I have a feral rescue I named Speedbump because I rescued him after he fell out of a car in front of me one day. All healed now and much less spicy!
I was feeding some elusive feral cats at my dad's place while I was there taking care of him after surgery. I rarely saw more than one or two of the cats at a time and they always kept their distance, waiting to come up and eat until i'd put their food on the deck and gone back inside. I thought there were only two orange tabbies in the colony until January 2022 when I looked outside and saw 4 orange tabbies including a 3 or 4 month old kitten! I shook my head, mumbled "I must have lost my marbles!" before adding another can of cat food to the bowl and taking it outside. A couple days later my dad yelled out "Casey! Marbles is on the deck! He wants food!" I said "Pardon?" and Dad replied "That little orange kitten. I thought you said his name is Marbles and that you'd lost him. Well, he's on the deck right now and he looks hungry!" From that day forward his name was Marbles. By March he let us stay on the deck while he ate. In April he started aslking to be petted and rolling over for tummy rubs. On May 20, 2022 we picked Marbles up and brought him inside the house. He was my dad's best buddy, always at his side, sleeping with him every night and every nap, even riding on the seat of Dad's walker to keep him company while he did his walking for physio or even just to the bathroom and back to the living room, right up to the day Dad passed away. Marbles is the most incredible cat I've ever known. We now have Marbles, his littermate/sister Monsoon, their younger brother Pepper, the two surviving kittens (Yvie and Ru) from Monsoons first live litter as a feral born in April 2023 and Willow who was born in a litter of 4 that Monsoon had in my spare/quarantine room a month after we caught her in our live trap. I found homes for the other 3 (Bob, Bianca, and Katya) and now everyone is neutered and they have a forever home with me. They are far too tame to ever release and, since they're so tame, there's no need to release them.🧡🧡
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.
What a great story! Marbles sounds like he would be a great subject for a book. 😁
What an amazing story - wish can share pics in comments
😂 That has to be one of the best cat naming stories I've heard. I'm glad Marbles blessed your lives.
Beautiful story, 😊
A 15 pound purr machine, who is not fat, just absolutely huge..... named "Fluff Daddy"
A friend of mine had a tubby one named "Fat Boy."
Fluff boy, we have little man.
We have the Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un. He's black and white, extremely fat, and loves to purr. He goes by Kim.
As a cat shelter volunteer, I really appreciated taking care go the Addams family, Gomez and Morticia were the sweetest.
We once had a snowshoe siamese that we picked up as a stray when he was barely a year old (had been abandoned twice in that time, apparently).
We named him Harley because his purr was so loud and reverberated so powerfully that it almost sounded like one of the motorcycles. We had him for 14 years until he passed.
When I worked as a vet tech we had a very fat (nearly 35lb) tuxedo cat come in for a first wellness. Sweet cat, purr like a jet engine, but so fat he couldn’t stand or sit for prolonged periods and he couldn’t lie on the table with his feet tucked under, so he just kinda belly flopped with his legs flopped out to the sides. Name: Shamu 😂
Owners were long time clients with 7 other cats and took immaculate care of all of them. They’d just adopted him. He’d been turned over to rescue by his elderly owner who doted on him and fed him tuna and half and half and kept forgetting if she’d fed him or not. Her health was failing and she was moving in with her daughter who was horribly allergic so he had to find a new home. Shamu was in pretty good shape considering. They put him on a diet and exercise regimen and while he remained a rather stout fellow he did slim down to about 20lbs over the next year and could at least move normally and clean himself properly.
I had a cat named Jack, after Jack the Ripper. He was a vicious ankle biter with very sharp claws as a kitten. After he became an adult however, he got very fat from trying to keep the food away from the other cats. So, he ended up with the nicknames Shamu the Land Whale and Moby Jack the Great Striped Whale. Eventually everybody needed prescription diets and we figured out a way to get him to slim down.
Had a cat named Stormy, 20 lbs chonker, he loved his food. Deserved it after everything he had been through tho. Thought we'd lose him at various points in his life, before he needed to be put down.
Also worked at a shelter, where they had a 35ish lbs cat...just massive...
2 cats chose to live with us having been left when a neighbour moved and left them , mother & daughter they didn't tell us there names so we called them Tart & Ratbag. Used to get odd looks when we went to the vets. Long story how they got their names.
We have 2 fat males. Don't know their current weights. One JR (black cat) went out on a trip for a week, thought he was gone forever because he didn't do that kind of thing that long, and he came back with pillow paw. Unfortunately the only medication that work for him, also makes him feel like he's starving to death and makes him retain weight. The vet once us to portion control the dry, but for our situation and how many rescues we have, that isn't practical. He does get a very small portion of wet food because his sister has to have to for medication she needs (God seems to send us all the ones that need medical help......our wallets are about gone though) so of course he gets a taste, plus it helps his coat from the meds.
Our other guy, Duke (white with gray patches) he is genetically born to be chubby. He's a tamed wild cat and we kept them all fed, but his Dad was naturally chubby, even though we know he was getting over fed........then add to that he seems to identify as a dog and likes to eat their food. Which we are currently working on
Kudos to the new adopted parents!! That takes a dedication!
One of my boy cats is named Pippin. Yes, he asks for second breakfast. Yes, he knocks stuff over and touches stuff he shouldn't. He isn't the brightest of cats. But very loyal, brave, and gets along with everyone.
This is GOLD! Great name for a kitty with that personality. 😂
Is he orange? Please tell me he’s orange 😂
@@SillyKali413 Light brown tabby, but his nose is a bit orange.
I used to have a Pippin just like thY 😢❤ Love our loyal, food-obsessed, clumsy boys ❤
hopefully his full name is Peregrin Took!
When my mom got a new kitten, she named him Tux (short for Tuxedo). He was so little, and I called him kitten, or Tux. One day I meant to say "Tux", but it came out "Chuck," That stuck for a while too, until one day he was being a menace, and I yelled a combination of "Chuck", "Tux", and "Kitten", which came out as "Chicken". His nickname from then on was Chicken, and I still refer to my mom as "Chicken Mom" to this day! 😁
My cat had kittens, boy, boy, boy and a girl. Took them to the vet, vet said boy, boy, boy and a girl. I named the girl Nancy. A few months later the 'crown jewels' appeared but he'd already learned his name and I didn't want to confuse him, so he became Nancy-Boy! The vet couldn't stop laughing!
My favorite from my vet tech days is Beeping Sleauty
That is so silly, but really made me laugh. 😊
Who doesn't love a good spoonerism 🌜
Now need a cat named Rindercella.
Lol’d for real
sounds like something from Angry Beavers
I had a Christo-Fur. My roommate at the time was studying Latin, and pointed out that Christo means God, and Fur means Thief. So along with being an adorable Christofur, he was also God of Thieves.
Christ comes from the Greek word χριστός (chrīstós), meaning "anointed one". The word is derived from the Greek verb χρίω (chrī́ō), meaning "to anoint." In the Greek Septuagint, χριστός was a semantic loan used to translate the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, messiah), meaning "[one who is] anointed".
at first i thought it might mean Thief of God, not sure which i like better
@@caligulathegodSo then together it means “Anointed Thief”? Lol, I hope the OP sees your reply, because Anointed Thief sounds so much less significant than what they thought it meant. 😂
My brain kept it in English grammar. I thought the translation would be God Thief. Like he steals gods.
@@caligulathegodYes, in greek. But latin a much older language, which is the basis for a good amount of languages. Meaning both of you are right. It just depends on what language you base it off of!
I think “Microwave” or “Work Email” are my favorites 😂
We adopted a ginger cat who was completely spherical, so we called him Ginger Pudding and that seemed to tickle our vets. He was a very sweet boy.
I never thought I'll be so happy about hearing "Work Email" 😅😂
Boss: Any big plans this weekend?
Gonna dedicate some tome to Work Email.
@@heidic527And I'll bet the reason for that name was exactly for an excuse like that or something similar.😂
"What are you looking at?" "Work email :D"
My cousin called their cat "Dinner". The vet snort-laughed when I made a vet appointment for her while cat sitting.
Call making a vet appointment a Dinner reservation
@@iloveadeafboy17 Put her in a dress and call her Fancy Dinner. Put a carrot on her while she's sleeping and call her a Dinner Plate. Put some bunny ears on her and call her Easter Dinner. 😄
I have a buddy who is a private pilot. He says there is a traveling pet duck who goes with his pilot owner to airshows, who is also named Dinner 😂
We know of an annoying rooster called Sunday Dinner. K
Woulge? It is my cat
My recent take in is a black cat that can't or won't retract his claws so they always stand out stark white and ready against his pitch fur. He is Murder Mittens.
My favorite from my time as a vet tech: neuro patient bulldog named Sir Quincy of Canon (named for the small town of Canonsburg in which he lived.) 😭
One of the funniest cat names I ever saw was simply '#10'
Yes, the number 10.
It came down to situation. We went to an asian restaraunt many, many years ago and saw a mostly black on black tabby striped cat wandering around the dining area. Didn't think much of it and perused the menus. Since we westerners make absolute hash out of asian words most of the menus have numbers. Under main courses there were items 1 thru 9, 11-35. Again, it looked like a typo as item 9 was at the bottom of a row.
But one of the people at the table asked "Where's this tenth item, what is it?"
In broken english the waiter said: "Oh, ten not dish for customer." Like... huh?
"Why?"
The waiter just shrugged and took our orders.
Some minutes later one of our party started laughing hysterically. She had managed to catch the (very social) cat and was petting it. She held up the nametag on its collar: '#10' in the same typefont that was on the menu.
I guess you can get around no animals in restaurants if it's a potential dish...
How to let your pet into work 101 😄
Like a pet cow named Beefsteak
Forget traditional Chinese medicine, ordering a #10 cured my depression
That’s hilarious!
Oh my God, that's the funniest thing I've ever read
I was taking my kittens to get checked out and once she was done with us, she shouted:
"UNCLE RUCKUS". 😂😂😂
There popped out this cute dog 😂
Well, well, well…
No relation
Girl, I love that sweater and hat combo. Can I recommend a chunky necklace in a bright color like gold or lilac?
We got Smokie Dutch, Shady Logan and Ragamuffin Squirreltail.
“Don’t ask.” But I want to ask! 😂
I have one called Mischief and one called Mayhem 😄
That's amazing!
👍 😂
Those are great names.
My in laws had a golden retriever named Mischief.
Those names tell me quite a bit about them. 😂
My cat's name is Monet, he's a black and white cat, we thought it was funny to name him after a painter of incredibly colorful paintings. He's the sweetest cat I've ever seen.
That's funny. There are actually Monet "fake" paintings with black or black and white cats in them. Hobby Lobby had some.
I had an opposite name too, Nössö (Finnish for wuss, but more cutesy) was unbelievably brave cat, she even chased a German Shepherd once. She always had her much more timid sisters back and loved to walk on a leash like a dog. Only New Year and fireworks made her anxious, otherwise she was just like living teddybear, without any worries in the world.
My friend had a bunch of rabbits named after painters (including a Monet, of course). I always thought it was just a cute little thing his family decided on. I came to find out years later the tradition got started because their first rabbit got an ear bitten off by a litter mate so they decided to name him Van Gogh. 😂😂
Named mine Monet because from far away she was okay but up close shes a big ol' mess
That's such a cat owner thing to do, name a monochrome cat after a colourful painter. I love it
Not my cat but that of a friend:
She found a little cat in a field, that wasn't shy at all and appeared to be well groomed, so she assumed the cat ran away from previous owners as the nearest house was several miles away. My friend went to the shelter, but they didn't have any room and asked her to keep the cat and they would help to find the owners. When no one comes to claim the cat, they said, it would be my friends property.
Well.....no one came and "Property" lived a very happy life with my friend :).
At one point there was a cat colony in my neighborhood and a lot of them would come to our house because we had outdoor cats and the food attracted them. We gave some of them names, but they were usually dumb ones. There was Hissy, M.C. Whiney (the M.C. stands for motor cat, because of how loud he purred), Tarheel (she had a block spot on her heal), White Fluff, Gordo Delgado, and one named Blackie that we ended up keeping. He was attacked by an unknown animal and needed emergency surgery to amputate one of his legs. My parents decided we'd keep him since they spent $700 to save him. My dad sometimes called him Black Hole, and we also called him Tripod.
In fairness to Microwave it probably was where a lot of cool food smells were coming from.
we have a cage for leftover food because the black cat knows how to open the microwave but has not worked out the cage.
I have one that dives right into the fridge the moment I open the door.
I had one who would jump onto my shoulder whenever I opened the freezer, like she was perusing dinner options. Her sister liked to explore the fridge. With those two we learned to always check before closing the door so they didn't get locked in and suffocated.
Our male cat liked to sit in the crockpot.
we have a rule in our house about NOT leaving the microwave door open for this reason. She was inside the microwave tongue-washing the top panel.
Interesting thing - I have an ant problem in my kitchen (tropics problem…/sigh). But the one place they won’t go is inside my microwave. Makes it a great storage spot (except I’m no doubt passively irradiating my bread). But I did learn that for cinnamon doughnuts they will brave the radioactive wasteland 🍩 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
FAT M.I.L.F.........My former blue princess was a heavily pregnant stray I took in.
She was very barrel like yet so thin, hungry and adoringly affectionate we called her Fat M.I.L.F. (the mother I like to fuss).
She bore 6 beautiful kittens of which one I kept and she is now 15yrs old.
Sadly Fat Milf passed away 5yrs ago to cancer but she had the most amazing life which she repaid 10 fold with her love, trust and loyalty.
Beautiful
❤
That’s the best ❤😂
and im sorry for your loss 😢
My dad took one of my mum's cats to the vet. He sat and prayed silently that they would call out Mr Sutton. In the packed (English) waiting room my 6'4" dad shrank in his seat as the call went out for "Knickers Sutton" "Knickers"?
We have a cat named "Little Dude" -- who turned out to be a girl cat ... the vet's had a good belly laugh when we had an appointment for her to be neutered --- we found out when we picked her up she was a little dudette instead. :) She goes by KeyKey now lol
My orange craziness is called Sir Furgus Don Fluffigus Fergermeister Meisterfurger the Soggy. I have never had a vet tech laugh so hard or show so much dedication at getting as much of his name as possible on the chart
Wow, that’s a good one, especially “the soggy” 😂
I would like to know the story behind the "Soggy" part.
@@weirdredpanda The first thing he did when he was allowed to explore more of the house was climb into the bathtub and he only did it after someone took a bath or shower. For the first six months it seemed like he was continuously soggy because he was always finding water to lay in. Toilet lids have to be kept down because he will sit in the toilet and play in it. He's almost a year old...now he climbs in sinks.
@@brikramberg8084you sure he's a cat and not part duck 😭
Give himb an extra treato for me for the amazing name
When I was a kid (maybe even before I was born, I’m not sure), my dad befriended a black and white cat. She decided that our home was, in fact, her home too. He named her Nobody because that’s all she had when she first showed up. She was a grumpy old thing but very loved by all of our family. Her nose dripped constantly when she would purr. I remember finding it terribly funny that we would say things like “Nobody is here” or “Nobody loves me” and actually mean our beloved kitty.
I like how your dad thinks 😂
Imagine if nobody had kittens, you could have named them something similar, like somebody, everybody, things like that. Could also do something like Nobody else.
Now I want to name a cat somebody because “I have to go take care of Somebody.”
Two of my kitties were named Poopie and Stinky, they were rescues that had the runs when we got them. We now have Piggly and Wiggly, and their younger brother Sir Nibbles Licksalot
One of ours is called Astrophe. The other is Egory, which while not as satisfying in the abstract makes up for it with much more practical day-to-day wordplay.
I remember that there was a dog at a dog show who's name was Dammit. He was in an obedience ring (they have to follow certain commands - hence "obedience") and the uproar that occurred when his handler first called out his name was hilarious. My mother said that he had to prove that was the dog's name and that he wasn't swearing, lol .
He’s just named after a song, that’s all. What’s wrong with that? 😄
My father once met a dog named s*** 😂😂
'Come here Dammit'...lols
@@angelmessenger8240 it was "Dammit come!!". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Git over here, Dammit!" "Dammit, what are you doing?" Probably the phrases used a lot as a puppy so the dog just figured that was his name and everyone went with it
meanwhile i just got "terry the terryble, violent defender of the terrytory"
Magnificent. 😂❤
I love this!
Our cat TriForce is a diluted tortie with a triangular flame point on her forehead. When she was a kitten, her eyelids each had a similar light mark, which reminded me of the TriForce in the Legend of Zelda series. When we took her to a university animal hospital for treatment for a concerning health condition, the students apparently had a big discussion about where her name came from. They took very good care of her.
Incidentally, we also have a ginger tuxedo cat named Zelda, and the feral tuxedo cat who visits for food is named Link.
Simba is from a shelter. I had a wet tube treat to coax him out of hiding in the meeting room - he was trying to get the treat while the attendant spoke to my mother about the cat she wanted. I extended my hand for him, he bravely emerged from his cubby, ignored the treat, and nuzzled my hand. Immediately smearing the extended treat all over his forehead. My heart melted, now I live with a constant tripping hazard.
I love these so much! I have four, and in the latest generation we wanted all food names. My little black cat is named Decaf. When we learned more of her personality, we decided it was short for iHop Decaf, because we ordered decaf at an iHop at 11pm, and were bouncing around the house until 4 😂.
Sometimes, when the zoomies are too much, my wife calls her “International House of Pancakes Decaffeinated Coffee!” 😂😂😂
Oh no, mom is using the full name! 😹

This was the first cat name story that made me laugh out loud! Thanks for that!

Our older dog's government name is Double Decker Soul Wrecker. Her little sister's is Kerbal Space Puppy.
I had a cat named Mister Hifi Banjo Strings!
@CariadChavez ayyyyyyyy!!! We had a foster dog we called Madam Hifi Banjo Strings, or Maddy for short.
Wishing you all the cookies for later 😉 Have you seen any of the new episodes from a couple of years ago? The Fellout Las Vegas episode is story-telling GENIUS
I have a guine pig whose name is Kevin Bacon, but we call him Mr Bacon because he's famous and doesn't like us to be so familiar.😂
My cat's name is Dr. Seuss. The first time we saw him they had to pull him out of the back of a desk drawer he was sleeping in lmao
My cats are just Patterson and Calypso, but my sister has a deaf one that she named Cherokee because a guy blocked traffic with his Jeep Cherokee so she could go rescue it out of the middle the busy street it was trying to cross when it was only 6 or so weeks old. She didn't have the chance to get the guy's name, so she named the kitten after his car!

We visited Kalamazoo, Michigan many years ago and passed a business called The Kalamazoo Kollege of Kanine Kosmetology. I have always wanted to put that on a resume.
Almost two years ago I rescued a teeny, ill, feral void boy from the colony in our field. His full government name is Tiniest Void, Babiest of Bats, Sootiest of Sprites, First and Last of His Name. His sister, a silver tabby-dilute tortie combo, rescued from a different batch of field kittens, is called Argent Moonchild.
My cat growing up was named Puddin' Head. He was a very intelligent gentleman, but he was named that because we all tried our favorite names out for him once he chose us, and that's the one he responded to.
Sherlock and Watson. Aside from the fact that "A Study in Scarlet" was the first novel I ever read, it suits their personalities. They're littermates and while Watson is a sociable tuxedo, Sherlock is a stand-off-ish tabby patched loner who really only likes Watson. He might accept scritches from a human he knows, but he'd rather spend time with Watson.
One of my cats is named Sherlock! My coworker found a litter of kittens, and he was the last one to be named. Since he's a tux, I thought he needed a formal-sounding name, which equals British in my mind, so I named him Sherlock. Months later I ended up adopting him, and... he's like the opposite of Sherlock Holmes. Skittish, super affectionate, and dumb as a sack of hammers. 😂 I love him, though!
I had a Sherlock and Mycroft. As kittens, I couldn't tell them apart. I had to put some temporary dye (Arctic Fox) on Mycroft to tell them apart.
I had a totally black shorthair cat. Named it Velvet Elvis. I saw his ‘chart’ at the vet’s one visit, and the vet had scrawled at the top, “ best cat name, ever!”
That is a great name!
aww I love that name! reminds me of my cat I use to have, but it was Elvis purrrrsly
My husband works for a garbage company and found our first cat screaming his (kitty's) lungs out on one of the trucks (stray, NOT thrown out). That was the day the Freddie Mercury movie came out (husband being a huge Queen fan, we were going). So we got Freddie. But all the vet techs call him Garbagekitty .
I was traveling in the Holyland years ago and our guide informed us of a slang hebrew word for "chaos and utter destruction"...the quipped that "Balagan" would be a great name for a kitten...and now I have my very own Balagan....who absolutely lives up to her name. 😂😂
We have two cats, an orange tabby whose full name is Philip J. Fry, and a tiny 6.5 pound calico named Millie, after Fry’s grandma Mildred. Millie came to us with no teeth, half a tail, and a limp. We felt giving her a grandma name was very appropriate, despite the fact that she’s only 3.
That's awesome.
Omg I love that
Sounds like an American Bobtail! They are so nice!! 🥰
Fry: meowmeowmeowmeowmeow
You: "ohKAY Mr. I'm-my-own-grandpa!"
I got a huge laugh out of our vet when he met, at the time our newest cat, Ivan.
'This is Ivan. Rarely Ivan the Great... Frequently Ivan the Terrible." 😂
Got another, not as big of a laugh with Mayhem. Mamed because everywhere she goes, mayhem ensures.
I had a cat named "Rani" which caused great hilarity with my Punjabi speaking vet as it means "Queen". Not much of a surprise where that came from 🤣
I had a cat that I named Potato. Mostly because he was beigy-brownish in color and when he was curled up as a kitten he looked potato-esque. But also because he was born with some rather quirky mental impairments so the name really fit him.
He was about as sharp as a pound of wet leather, but he had a heart of gold. I miss my little tater. Even if he had a lazy eye, couldn't meow right, blepped constantly, and occasionally went full insane-o mode.
(I assume the cat passed away)
Fly high, lil tater ❤🕊️
@@Aspenwood_pawzz Thank you, yes it's been a few years now
@@Xaevryn I know what it’s like to deal with losing a pet, I’m sorry that you had to go through that ❤️
Called my cat Samus, mostly from the fact that she likes to become a ball, and will ruthlessly seek out food, no matter how many times she needs to back track over the same ground over and over again.
Thats my cats name also
My first cat was Sushi (she came pre-named). My next cat was Wasabi. My current cat is Miso. 🍣
I respect the Japanese names :-)
You could name another one Gari, for the pickled ginger you get with sushi!
@@catharticdream cute!
I almost named my cat Miso, but when I met him for the first time IRL I realized his fur was a little lighter than in the foster’s photos. So he’s Waffles instead 🥰
@@CommenterOfVideos yay Waffles ❤
My cat dingus went to the vet and had the whole front desk laughing at her name. They told me earlier that day a cat named menopause (maybe spelled menopaws) made them laugh as well
We once took our tiny cat, Thunder, to the vet at the same time as a great dane named Thunder. It was pretty funny when they came out for us before the dog and had to clarify.
My cat that adopted me, his name was Chainsaw! He purred really loud as a kitten.
That's my cat's name!! She doesn't purr very much but her name gets a laugh at the vet~
Chainsaw sounds like a cool name for a cat
He was a cool cat. I had him for about 18 years. He would follow me around outside. He tracked my ex all of the way back to his tree stand a few times.
I named my cat Damn It Teena for obvious reasons. Was funny to hear the vet’s receptionist call out her name 😳
Does she eat her ham?
Made me think of “shut up Meg “ as a cat name lol
Hey now!
😂😂😂
Really enjoy you videos. ❤
We have a male orange spotted tabby I call Fancy Nuts. We took him to the groomer who then trimmed the fur on his nut sack. The groomer claimed "It will help him mate better." So started calling him Fancy Nuts.
I work at a cat clinic and we’ve had some gems in the time I’ve been there! Toto (named for the toilet brand where he broke his knee), hot tub, bittermellon, the trio red cat, black and white and calico, a pair called Hillary Clinton and Osama bin Laden, printer and scanner, curbie (who was found as an injured kitten on a curb) metro (found at a city airport), prince hairy wrinkle skin (a sphinx), Clawdia, Thor fluffmaster, captain fluffy pants… it’s a joy hearing them all!
Oh I love Clawdia :D
The SAME person owned hillary and osama?
A hoy? I find names like these degrading.

@heatherwoodley8244 I bet you're great at parties
We had a beautiful, slender Siamese cat that I named Betelgeuse. Not after the movie but the red star in Orion’s constellation after I’d taken a year of Astronomy in college, I had the name before the cat. The little diva of a cat lived up to her rather pretensions name.
What I learned in Astronomy is that Betelgeuse is Arabic for "the armpit" (which is the location of that star in the Orion constellation).
Betelgeuse is a great name! I also did astronomy in college. When I got my dog from the rescue, she ended up as Cassiopeia, Cassie for short. Sure enough she thinks she's a little queen.
I had a cat called Seefer...(C for cat).
A dog called "Syndrome". So I could tell him get DOWN....Down Syndrome!
and another dog I called Herpes....because he just wouldn't heal!
A few cats just called "Cat"....more than few actually.
An X of mine had a hamster called Slobodan.
I have an orange cat named Aela and a grey named Noodle. Noods for short. I'm never losing her in public, lest I go walking around yelling, "Noods!"
My coworker has a cat named “Manager” and I think that’s the most fitting cat name ever lol. She also had a Guinea pig named Bacon Bit.
Aw- I had a guinea pig too (I was in 3rd grade when he was still alive) his name was Crackers.
Beetle.. he tried to pounce on a beetle when he was little and promptly fell over into the garden😂😂
My cats have rather usual names: "Minnie Mouse" a calico, her daughter "MiniMuffin" that looks exactly like her mom, her sister "ChocolateCookie" a tortie and Minnie's brother "Happy" an all black beauty😊
"Goliath" and "BlackJake" already hunt for stars...💔
Haha. My sister is a veterinarian and she says white cats name Angel have a lot of catitude while black cats named Lucifier are sweet hehe.😊
Lucifer is Hebrew for “bringer of light”. I think it’s a beautiful name. People only think Satan’s name is Lucifer because 2 Corinthians 11:14 says that Satan “changes himself into an angel of light”. It is the only place in the Bible where the word lucifer could be linked to Satan
@@crystalgriffiths oh thanks for educating us 😁 that's interesting to know, maybe these black cats knew this 🙂
@@crystalgriffithsit’s not Hebrew, it’s Latin
@@rachelk2457 I have a black cat. He is a Russian blue x
His name is Koshka (Russian for cat, so very original 🙃, or not 😂). When he is being naughty, I call him Snot-ska. I love etymology & name origins- I’m glad you enjoyed my little factoid 🤓
@@crystalgriffiths lol Snots- ka 😆well I had a cat named Neko which means cat in Japanese but the previous owners named her. It's okay to do that as long as you like the name.
A cat at the shelter I work for was a bit fractious upon intake. And funnily enough, her weight at the time was 6 lbs. 6.6 ounces. So she was given the name Lilith. Over time, she has settled down and has become very sweet with us. So now we call her Lily.
I don’t get it
Mythological figure with quite a few designations. Long story short- a demon and my favorite " queen of hell."
@@k.k.9897 She got a bad rap.
I'd settle with Lilith anyway 😂❤
Our girl is called Lilith, Lily for short!!
But she's actually the sweetest, snuggliest, loveliest little sphynx kitty!
We picked the name because I had just finished watching "Hasbin Hotel", and I love the name and the mythology, and I've always really, REALLY loved the name Lucifer (it's a beautiful name, it has a beautiful meaning) but I knew that naming children Lucifer and Lilith would be an uphill battle, especially since we live in a very religious, conservative area.
So, we decided that we would name our girl Lilith, and then later on we'll get a male and name him Lucifer.
I accidentally renamed our cat Pavlov style by jokingly calling her my 'Pudgey Little Muffin' when feeding her. One morning what came out was 'my Little Pudgin' which I thought was hilarious, so I started calling her that at meal times. She came booking it around the courner licking her chops when I was telling my husband this a couple weeks later, and its now her full time name 😹
i was so embarrassed when the tech called out Jellybean Bonanza into the waiting room.
My ball python is named Soup, because he's a noodle shape and therefore wherever he's sitting in his big ol' water tub, he's noodle soup. Everyone who hears it gets some form of a smile out of it. :)
He's very sweet and oddly photogenic, even people who tell me they aren't a fan of snakes find him cute!
We have one cornsnake who was just tiny and skinny like a shoelace when we got her, so we named her Shoelace (usually just call her Lacey). We have another that looked like a little twig (short, brown and thin) and his name is Twiggy. 😂
I had an aquatic turtle named Soup.
Fun ball python names are my favorite. My ball python has a very boring name though 😂
I had a special needs foster kitten that I kept names Hoshi that would jump into the oven, heated or not. Let's just say we always made sure he was out of the kitchen when cooking. The ER visit when he was a kitten was a bit much. I just never felt comfortable adopting him out, because if it wasn't one thing it was another, like running as fast as he could head first into walls. I miss him so much, he was a great lap cat and so loving.
When I was a kid I had a cat that would try to jump in the oven. I was grateful that my mom had such quick reflexes.
One of my current cats Nick ALSO liked to try jumping in the oven when he was younger. He stopped after I was trying to pull out a pizza and saw him coming at a full run out of the corner of my eye and reflexively whapped him right out of the air with the spatula so hard and fast that he never actually made contact with the oven or the door. I was so mad and so freaked out and felt so guilty but he's such a DUMBASS. @@PixieoftheWood
I figured out my albino Siamese Saul was nearsighted when we rescued him from a neglectful owner. He was skin and bone, nearly 2 and his testicles hadn't dropped yet because the owner believed that leaving a cat hungry made it a better mouser. He'd run toward the wall and instead of veering off when he got close, he'd just turn his head so he didn't hit the wall nose-first. Odd cat, but we adored each other for 10 years.
We had a cat that would run into doors. We would open the door and wait for him to go out but he would just stare at it and us until we closed it. Then he would run into it. My brother named him Boy because he was "too stupid." He was so loyal and a really trooper. Loved him.
I've got a lil dude who's too curious for his own good too. I have a reflex to look around like I'm crossing the street before I open the oven because I know he won't hesitate to jump in there. Sometimes if he's really active and in the kitchen while I'm cooking, I shut him in the other room to open the oven.
Now Now. We took him in and started feeding him wet food with our other cats and when we were getting ready he'd just be going like "nooow! Nooow! Nooooow!" so the name stuck. My mother apparently got a chuckle from the vet over it too. XD
We had a cat named "Spotted Seal" ... living close to the Alps region, this was extra entertaining when calling the vet's office for an appointment...
The best cat names I ever heard came from a lady who named her two Siamese, one male, one female, "Hei Yu" and "Hu Mi".
Since female cats are called "queens", and I'm an amateur Egyptologist, I started naming my cats after ancient Egyptian queens. The vet absolutely *refused* to put Ankhesenamun on her chart, insisting that I shorten it to *something*, so at the vet she was Essie. Then there was Nefertari (*not* "Nefertiti", different queen!), Khenthap,, and Herneith, not to mention Seshemetka. 😀
I've always thought Hatshepsut would be a good name for a cat -- or Sooty for short.
@@clawtooth35 Years ago, I fostered a kitten named Hatshepsut, called her Hattie for short.
