Good Resource for Kitty Names

[DancesWithCats]

This is a good site for browsing thru cute kitty pictures but this time it has the names of the puds right there with the pictures! So many times we rack our brains and come up with nothing ... finally resorting to Baby Name books ! So, peruse. Use. Or not. But add the names of your own cookie-pies? So we can all have a pool of names with which to consult should we run across that extra little mouth to feed in the sometime future and be forced to face The Dilemma once again.

I was stationed at Minot AFB and a bunch of 2nd Looeys in the next BOQ Apartment had a cat they named Puppy.

They would call here "Here Puppy" and that darn cat would come runnin'!

Oh man...cat names. Over the years I have had Diddle, Phoebe, Max, Punky (started out as Punkin Butt, also answered to Punk, Punkster and Punkmeister),Sweetpea, Sammy, G.G (short for Goofy Girl), Charlie, Poppy, Mia, Moochie, and Scooter. My brother had one named Miss Kitty Russell (after Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke, in case any of you are too young to remember.)

That could get confusing!

The Naming of Cats
—T. S. Eliot

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 THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, or George or Bill Bailey -
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter -
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover -
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

My boy kitty FEMA was named when WILMA was due to hit but skipped over us and hit Miami Dade. He was a rescue outside crying and I thought he/she was a funny looking little kitty lost from his mother too early.

I didn't want to name it Wilma so he's FEMA and a disaster he is through and through but he's such an oddball - I think I'll keep him.

[Daffynition]

Perfect!

Nice going, Tinkerbell. Not bad for a housecat.

Boy them kitties is CUTE!!! Thanks for sharing!

[alarm rider]

Personally, I think cats should have noble names. That is why we name ours after military heros/heroines.

[Battle Axe]

I love kitties.

My names: Smudgie, Miss Peach, Fiona, Tuesenelda.

I see your point

We have Mama Boogie, had Boy Boogie, Baby Boogie, Yedder Boogie, etc. I got tired of trying to name them all so the Boogies came about. We had Cat (our inside boy) but he went to cat heaven courteous of the recent cat food crap. All the Boogies are our barn/yard cats. No snakes with them. We have a new tom that SHOULD be named Cantaloupe-butt Boogie as you could NEVER suspect him of being a female after seeing him from behind - IF you know what I mean. wink wink

[DancesWithCats]

So ... what did you name them!? Is it a state secret?

[DancesWithCats]

Oh Lord, I'm so sorry! Are you pursuing litigation? You should!! that poor cat ...

[gopheraj]

No, we aren't. The canned food I fed him was from some that hadn't reached the online list BEFORE I fed it to him. He was a homegrown kitty. Mama Boogie was his mom so not sure how (#1) we would prove it was their food and (#2) we had no vet bills to get reimbursed. He had hurt his leg a bit and I was "treating" him to canned instead of the dry that he always got. He was feeling "peeked" but I attributed it to his leg and then one morning, he was really bad and before we could get him into the vet, he let loose bowels and pee on the dogs bed and couldn't even stand. WE put him down rather than a stranger.

One was MacArthur, (Mac), G.S. Patton (Patton), Omar Bradley, (Brad) and of course Oveta Culp Hobby (Vita).

Currently we have Montgomery (Monty) and Oliver North (Ollie).
