Top dog and cat names of 2008
PMSNBC ^ | 1/7/09

Posted on 01/07/2009 1:12:14 PM PST by Slings and Arrows

Move over, Fluffy and Fido. There's a new batch of pet names in town: "people" names! Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI), the nation's largest and oldest provider of pet health insurance, scoured its database of more than 466,000 insured pets to find the most popular dog and cat names of 2008. (Animals not insured by VPI were not included in the survey.)

But for those who like to think outside the (litter) box, VPI also came up with a list of unusual pet names, like Meatwad and Miss Fuzzbutt. The company's employees selected 50 unusual dog names and 50 unusual cat names, and then voted for the top 10 in each category. See which names were up to snuff.

My kitty brothers are a pure black and a black and white, hence, Oreo and Tar Baby. I get funny looks from some people when they find that out. (Very Santa Cruz)

New Rat Terrier is named Ruby.

I’ve long believed that cats shouldn’t be named, but merely numbered.
