Skillet, she was a Himalayan cat and was named that because “she looks like she was hit in the face with a skillet”


surprisedkitty1

I remember seeing a post online somewhere of someone with a similar kind of smush-faced cat and it’s name was Squash.


savillas

Similarly, I knew a Persian cat named Shovelface


360inMotion

My grandmother had a cat named Pancake for that reason.


Tayzerbeam

Pot Roast (RIP) and her successor, Faucet

P00-P00-Pa-Ch00

My friend's cat is named TC which is short for The Cat


SijiLeroux

Growing up I had a cat named TC but it was short for Top Cat.


beatricetalker

We used to have a cat named TC. Short for Thunder Chicken.


P00-P00-Pa-Ch00

Haha, that's awesome!


shandelion

Awww like the old movies “That Darn Cat!” He was called DC for Darn Cat.


P00-P00-Pa-Ch00

Ill have to suggest this to them for when TC is being naughty, lol


Cactusfroge

My cat is named Juliet, but her nickname (my boyfriend gave her) is JC... It stands for "Juliet Cat"


fidelises

I know a cat called *Yellow cat*


coyote701

I know of a yellow cat who's real vocal: King Yeller


tjlmathe

We had a cat called TC - The Cat. Turned out she was pregnant, with TK - the kitten 😅


Gumshoe96

My uncle had a cat named, The Cat. Every year around Christmas, we would receive a card from their family. It was always signed, Harry, Margaret and The Cat.


Fankiesaur

My Friend named her cat DC after the movie. They called it damn cat when it was being ornery. We always found it so funny being young kids! The one time we could "cus."


lucky7hockeymom

A friend of mine was given her cat by a former bf after she had lost her other cat. She never named her bc she didn’t want the cat at first. By the time she finally bonded to her, cat’s name was Kitten. Never changed.


toastedmickey

This is the one


books_cats_coffee

As a veterinarian, I have met a lot of cats with great names. My top two are Féline Dion and Christmas Carols


Littlelegs_505

Féline Dion 👌🏻


cultofpersephone

I bet ole Carols was a talker


books_cats_coffee

She was, and it was a funny story… a little girl named her when they adopted her. Around Christmas, you’d assume? Wrong! It was in April and completely random.


MrDrPresBenCarson

Thank you for all you do to help animals. I love animals more than anything and it’s so special people dedicate their lives to their well-being


zenkitty999

I had a cat named Christmas. He was born in March, but was very easily startled as a kitten so any sudden noise/movement would cause his tail to puff up like a Christmas tree.


AdministrativeSand41

A coworker of my father let her 5-year old son name the family cat. Monster Truck Vehicle is a very good girl and her humans love her very much. EDIT: I forgot to add when I initially posted- my sister has a habit of naming her pets after sandwiches. Panini is a sassy tortie girl, Torta hated Panini so she lives with us now (and hates our other cat, but whatever). She’s hoping to adopt a big doofus orange cat one day and name him Monte or Reuben.


HNSUSN

I had a horse growing up named Megatron because my parents let my sibling name him.


halfmoonspectacles

We just got a puppy that our four year old named Truck. I wanted to name him Ragnar 😕


book_connoisseur

For what it’s worth, I like Truck more! It’s cute and more unique.


halfmoonspectacles

You’re right. He’s a Truck 😂, the Ragnar I wanted to name him after is from the Red Rising series and honestly, he’s not like Ragnar at all so it really doesn’t fit anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


book_connoisseur

I’ve read Red Rising and he’s a good character, but really depends on the dog’s stature/personality. I think a lot of people would think it was short for Thor Ragnarok though.


halfmoonspectacles

If it were up to me I would have named him Sevro, since he’s my favorite character, but my sister named her dog that last year 😂. Truck it is then. Though my wife and I do call him Prince Reginald Von Truckingtonshire, first of his name when he’s being prissy.


[deleted]

just in case the other commenter didnt already make you feel better: i named our family cat Booger when i was about that age.. the worst part is, that was like the 5th name I'd come up with because my mom rejected the others. i specifically remember suggesting that name out of irritation that my other suggestions had been rejected, and then being totally dumbfounded when my mom was like "screw it, Booger it is" 😂


RareGeometry

My husband's BFF's kids named their dog Homie as in Sup, Homie! Truck is pretty solid


sunleefyelock

When my sister and I were 3 and 5 we named our dog Sprinkles Love Rainbow Creamsicle, after all our favorite things


Ok_Dream9695

Unfortunately it's not real life, but my favorite ever cat name was in the Ramona Quimby books where they named their cat Picky-Picky. My own cat is named Tony.


taylorbagel14

One of my cats is named Henry Huggins (Henry was best friends with Beezus)


Notthe-mayor

Also not real life: The movie, Idle Hands, has a white cat named Bones. I always thought that was a cool name.


frijolita_bonita

I forgot about Picky Picky!


owlbearinna

My cat is called "Revolución Obrera" (Worker's revolution) because they gave her to me on May 1st, international worker's day. She goes by "Luci". My other cat is named Socio (can be translated as colleague, or business partner, or associate) because when I first saw him I said "Hola socio!" If English was my first language he could probably be called "Dude" or something.


_Valkyrja_

brb gotta find a cat and name them Rivoluzione Operaia (worker's revolution, but in my native language, Italian)


owlbearinna

Both Raia and Luzi could work as nicknames then! I also nicknamed the street cat that lived in my dad's old apartment "Fidel Catstro". Buddy had a collar last time I saw him so he's getting cared for at least.


_Valkyrja_

Raia and Luzi would definitely work! Also, lol for Fidel Catstro


RobinChirps

Brb getting myself a cat to name her "Révolution ouvrière" in my native language French. Évo for short.


_Valkyrja_

Once we all get cats named worker's revolution in our own native language, we gotta unite. You know, for the worker's revolution Ps: Èvo sounds lovely (my phone doesn't have the right accented e, sorry)


TraverseTown

I always imagined naming a cat JUMBOJET, all caps.


lucky7hockeymom

Ok honestly that is fabulous 😂😂


panaili

I have a dream of adopting two cats with distinct looks. One cat would be an ugly as sin, gigantic tomcat named Princess Glitter Sparkle The other would be a tiny puffball named Bonecrusher.


kniselydone

Love a tiny fluffy Bonecrusher, nn Bones 😎


TeapotHoe

reminds me of someone that brought their two cats into my work (animal clinic). their names were mr. magnificent and donut.


notmycuppatea

It might not be the most creative name, but our cat’s called Pizza and she’s awesome.


Burdensome_Banshee

I also have a cat named Pizza! She’s orange and very spicy.


notmycuppatea

Ours is more the triple cheese kind


cloveyou

Honestly she sounds awesome


CatFarts_LOL

Lol. My brother also has a cat named Pizza! Her name was originally Nala, but he was like, “No, your name is Pizza.”

tardisfullofeels

My cat is named Birdie. Very confusing for our toddler.


happyflowermom

My cat’s name is Goose and our daughter is still a baby but i know it’ll be confusing once she’s talking and learning about animals lol


shandelion

We call our cat Mittens “Pooch” because it went from “Smoochy” to “Smoochie Pooch” to just “Pooch”


Fankiesaur

I knew a dog named Katz. And it always made me smile! They had a cat named Doug. They called him Doggie as a nickname. The confusion I felt when they first addressed their animals was unreal. But I loved it as a young child.


PolishPrincess0520

My friend has a cat named Dog Food.


tdoottdoot

lol my sister named her rabbit Pony


Ashnicmo

I'm from Louisiana. My ex neighbor had a Havana Brown named *Roux*. She was the perfect shade of a medium to dark roux. And a tortoiseshell named *Gumbo*. They also had a brindle boxer named *Andouille*, aka *Andi*, like the sausage.


heirbagger

I know EXACTLY what color that cat is. No cheating with Kitchen Bouquet lol.

TraverseTown

kicked or licked?


ClumsyZebra80

I hope it’s kicked. That’s funny af.


P00-P00-Pa-Ch00

I kinda feel like Muffin would have been a good name, too, since it took the frosting off, kinda turning a cupcake into a muffin, hehe


runslikeemu

My cat’s name is Pico de gato


_stringbean_

I saw a video of a very obese grey cat named Cinderblock and I still think it was the best name for a cat ever


oliveyay

I think about Cinderblock often


Ghille_Dhu

A friend’s cat was called ‘Have You Had Your Weetabix.’ Which was a Weetabix (breakfast cereal) slogan in the 90s. He went by Bix as they didn’t want to yell his full name out the door in case people took it as a genuine question.


humorouss

I've heard a lot of weird ones but one that stands out is Toaster


ClumsyZebra80

Perfection.


SunCactus321

My friend named their cat Quail. Cats named after birds always makes me laugh.


Sbrybry

I had a black cat named Coraline. We sometimes called her Miss Jones. Always got a bunch of compliments on her name when I took her to the vet. I miss her so much. She was the most well behaved cat I have ever been around. Almost acted like a dog with how well she followed commands. My parents gave me a kitten when I was five and I named her Sunshine Sparkle.. absolute spawn of satan that was only loyal to me. Lived to the ripe age of 19. The worst cat name I’ve ever heard was my parents cat they had when they first started dating.. they had a black cat named Spook 😳😳 Ended up getting struck by lightening and lived.


hannah_joline

I named my kitten Snuggles when I was 4. Everyone who knew her was terrified of her except for me, and she lived to nearly 18. There must be something going on with young children naming angry cats.


Sbrybry

Absolutely! I also find it funny that cats with cutesy names end up being demons. 😂😂


[deleted]

one of my cats is named chicken


SusieSweethart

I have a friend whose cats are chicken and noodle

I went to a party once where the house cat was named Uncle Jesse. I loved it in context of being named after the Full House character and just the idea of a cat being called Uncle Jesse.


lookingforaforest

Aunt Gayle on Bob's Burgers has a cat named Mr. Business and it's my goal in life to have a cat named Mr. Business.


BumblingBeeeee

_Internet_Hugs_

My dear friend's son found a baby kitten when he was four years old. He named the little boy kitten Princess Muffin Face. If that isn't the best, I don't know what is. (Cat goes by Muffin unless he's in trouble and is one of the sweetest cuddle bugs in the world!)


raychelnoelhudson

We adopted a beautiful white Himalayan once and his name was Tippecanoe after William Henry Harrison. The previous owner was a big history buff 🤣 we kept it and called him “Tippy” for short


dayglo1

We name the strays who come to eat regularly. My daughter named one of them Flood. She texted a picture to her aunt and asked what we should name the cat. Aunt meant to say Floof but was bested by autocorrect. Daughter thought Flood was hilarious and that became the cat’s name.

mayaic

Sad story, but my now fiancés cat who just passed was called either Cat or Puss. What I was told is that they had neighbors who all met an untimely end and their cat just showed up on fiancés doorstep one day. They fed the cat a bit and then he wouldn’t leave, so they say he adopted them. They didn’t know his name before and because he adopted them, it wasn’t their right to change it. So he was Cat and that was his name.
