My uncle had a pitbull named "kitty kitty".

Atleast that's what he dog thought, as when my uncle would feed the cats and dog, he'd always call the cats by saying "here, kitty, kitty... ".

Sextoy.

You'll have many visits from animal protection and more than likely lose friends when they learn the name.

We have neighbor cat who always wants to come to our yard and start shit with our cat. Said neighbor cat has an odd narrow dark strip under his nose. We call him Hisler, or Der Furrer.

Cutlet is the best bad name for a cat. The cat will know it's both your friend and a survival ration.
