Reply to comment by fauxfurgopher in TIFU by suggesting a name for our new kitten by fauxfurgopher

Since when does any cat have just one name? Earl may be his official name for vet documents but he can have any nickname you feel like. My friend has a cat named Loki but usually I address him as Buddy or Kitty. Or Fucker if he bites me.

"The naming of cats is a difficult matter. It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter, when I tell you a cat must have 3 different names."

Our cat we had back when my husband and I were newlyweds was officially Amidala, but we called her Ami, and eventually Amipunk cause she was a bit of a punk!! 😂😜😂

My one cat's name is Pip but I only call her Poop or Poopsie. She was really sick as a kitten with parasites and explosive diarrhea and even though she's been healthy for years, sometimes a tiny little turd randomly falls out of her butt while she's running.

We had a cat named lumpy bc when we found him he had a herniated spleen, and you could see the lump poking out from his tummy. Friends of animals actually paid for the, at the time experimental surgery which the vet said he had a 30% chance of surviving. He survived and became a pet therapy cat for a 4-H club I was a part of. Great cat he lived to be 23

[Edit: spelling]
