Kitty Ping!

The best way to name a cat is to name it whatever comes to mind when you are naming it.

Generally speaking two-syallbe names are best if you wan them to maybe recognize their name.

If you consistently call “Here Kitty Kitty” when you put out food after awhile they will come when they here the call.

Don’t have pictures of them but we have Indy, Jack and Kittygirl. Then there are the yet unnamed holy trio of terror known as the KITTENS!

My next cat I am going to name "Peeve"

I have always wanted a pet Peeve.

I had one kitty who was born on the 4th of July, so she was named Miss Belle in honor of the Liberty Bell.

Current kitty is a former stray (um, excuse me, rescue kitty) who was first spotted by my vet stalking a finch. She is now named Miss Finch.

Well, we've had Beethoven, Odie (back in the day when there was a cartoon character, a skunk, named Odie Colognie), Vinnie, Sylvester (mostly called "Sly"), Lucy, and Iggie. All were homeless until they found a couple of good suckers humans to take them in. All but Sly and Iggie have passed on over the years, Lucy most recently (not believed to be Chinese cat food related, she was almost 14 and diabetic).

One book I have suggests using names with "s" or at least an S sound in them, seems they like the sound--at least according to that book.

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.)

Nice going, Tinkerbell. Not bad for a housecat.

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

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

Mishkin (I think it was from Tolstoy)
Ching (named after a Chinese pirate - she was an evil, evil little calico)
Polly (she perched on our shoulders when she was a kitten)
Jellybean (she's a multicolored cat)
