It doesn't apply in my case, but I like the idea of a goddess called Bubbles and a Taco Bell item called Squanch.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

My girl cat Persephone got a goddess name, but we normally do old lady names and had a mental block on them at the time. So Percy it is.

These are my cats, Athena and Ultimate Cravings Box.

I have a cat named Francis, but sometimes I call him Francisco Franco 😂

When I adopted my cat his name was LuciPurr and I promptly renamed him to Lucifer

[–] Linkalee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

So you renamed him from LuciPurr to LuciFur, got it

"Crunchwrap Supreme", but we just call him "Crunchy" for short.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We name all the cats regardless of sex after something to do with literature. But that's their government names and I normally don't use those online to protect their tiny kitty privacy.

All their nicknames are like

Jerkcat Babycat Dingus YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC creature Sweetie Grey ghost Great hunter

Look, just anything that pops into my head as I sing sweet nothings to them

Current cat is creature often. Little weird creature.

[–] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Aww we've got a YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC at home, too

I once lived with a male Norwegian mutt named Nipsey Russel.

He was an interesting character like his namesake. He was an amazing cat who loved alcohol, you literally had to keep an eye on your drink.

I have a girl cat named Preggo.

We rescued her during a tornado storm, in Arkansas, and we thought she was pregnant so I just called her Preggo.
By the time we got her to the vet we found out she's not pregnant, just fat and weird, however by that time she got used to being called Preggo so we just kept that up.

At first I was confused about why someone would copy some random twitter user's post on here, but now I'm even more confused about why someone would fake a month old twitter post

I mean I respect the art, it definitely had an effect on me

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wtf? Is dead internet true?

I don't think you should like your own post, kinda cringe

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

Now think of every tweet screenshot we've seen, and how many we've actually checked to see if it's legit. Scary because nearly all of us must have fallen for lies at some point

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 14 points 1 day ago

I think the twitter screenshot is fake. I tried to look up JaydenSmithish through nitter and it says user not found

The stray calico kitten that hangs out on my porch and in front of my front door I named Princess because she is regal and demanding.

[–] driving_crooner 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My Boy: Rails, for Ruby on Rails.

My Girl: Sushi, cause she's black and white and looks like a roll.

[–] groet@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope your cat never finds out he could have been called ruby but you choose to go with rails....

[–] driving_crooner 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We had a Ruby but she died 😢

When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine's coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

I think I call mine kitty or kitten most the time, she's like 8 years old.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Funny, I’m close to the opposite. My boy cat is named after a god (Apollo, Greek god) and my girl cat is named after my favourite drink (Islay, scotch from Islay, Scotland).

Because corporate logos and names are our new deities. Chill out and have a Star Bucks!

I've had cats named Baldr, Hermóðr, Grendel, and Wotan. I've currently got a Valkyrie, Brynhildr, Freyja, and Freya (we got Freya when she was a year old because her owner couldn't keep her, and we already had Frejya, so...). But our current boy cats are Svartur ('cuz he's black), Robert, and Charlie.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Names of my kitties over more than two decades:

Girls: Nova, Athena

Boys: Casper (black), Cocoa (white with blue eyes), Marconi

All kitties have dignified names.

I named my girl Selune... I guess I'm basic D=

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We currently have a female cat. We called her sky. Beforehand we had a male cat, all white with a black head. We called him yorshik. Which i'm quite sure it's a corruption of the russian for toilet brush... Poor thing.
