When it comes to Felis Catus (your moggie’s scientific name!) your cat likely has more than one name. If he has nine lives, it stands to reason that he should have at least as many names, right? Cats were domesticated over 5,000 years ago and were considered sacred to the ancient civilizations in Egypt and China. But there’s no reason their name should be serious!

Long and pompous names can be very amusing. Try these for size.

Our polydactyl cat is named Min Nah Min Nah (Sesame St), we call him Nah Nah. I have a black cat named Black Cat. A very nervous cat named Fraidy. A part Maine Coon named Baby Huey. She was twice the size of her litter mates. She’s a cat and doesn’t care she has a male name.
I have Dusty D’Furrball…. my grey love!
Chairman meow becomes more hilarious when you realize “Mao” is “cat” in Mandarin.
I had a litter of Siamese kittens that needed names. Mom was Ming Ming and the sister was Mei Mei (means Sister!) I lived it. I has a Siamese cat that lives outside. His name is Chandler Bing but I call him Chan Bing for short. Sounds Asian right?

I have a cat with 8 toes on each front foot. His name, of course, is Sasquatch. Another is named Nuisance. (And, boy, is she named well!) The one who won’t shut up (since I got her at 6 weeks) is Singer. The kitten who investigated a dust bunny under the dresser for ten minutes, then sat on my foot and told me about it for another ten minutes was Socrates, and the one who was –um, blessed?–with the ugliest marking I’ve ever seen was Grendalyn. (From Grendal, the monster in Beowulf. But since it was a female…) Her brother was Gremlin. I had a classic orange tabby named MacGyver–he got the bathroom door open in less than a minute, then race down the hall and grabbed for the Swiss Army knife on a string over the doorknob.
