Title: cat name?
Post by: Tim K in DC on March 26, 2008, 03:25:52 AM: So I recently moved from Brighton to Somerville, and my new roommate got a rescued kitten (there's a pretty horrible back story that I won't get into here) and we've yet to come up with a name for the little monster. My two older cats, Lucy and Ivan The Terrible, are slowly getting used to it. The thing (as the photos below should indicate) is cute as hell, but he's a frickin' unholy terror (climbs people like he's rock-climbing, stinks to high heaven, screeches like a hawk, etc.) and he needs a good and appropriately evil name. Any ideas, FOTs?

I love the feet.

Since he's a climber, how about naming him after Corey Harris or some other member of that ill-fated expedition?

Post by: JonFromMaplewood on March 26, 2008, 09:45:48 AM: When I asked my 4-year-old son what to name our new cat, he said, without a moment's hesitation, "Doctor Pants." Unfortunately my 8-year-old daughter overruled his decision and named it Custard (yawn).

So "Doctor Pants" is up for grabs.

...or "GOMP".

That is a foul lie.
Title: Re: cat name?
Post by: Andy on March 26, 2008, 12:26:41 PM: yeah, my cats don't respond by name, but if I click at them they come running.

also, it makes my wife feel bad that the cats follow me around. If I wake up in the middle of the night and go into the other room to look at the internet, they follow me and lay down to go to sleep in the same room. This despite the fact that she feeds them and changes their litter.
Title: Re: cat name?
Post by: Sarah on March 26, 2008, 12:32:07 PM: Well, then, it's a foul lie about my cats, who respond to their names quite nicely, thank you very much.
Title: Re: cat name?
Post by: Andy on March 26, 2008, 01:10:18 PM: you should try calling them by 10 different names each and see if they respond.
Title: Re: cat name?
Post by: erika on March 26, 2008, 01:16:24 PM: I don't have to call mine. They follow me like little lemmings. Even into the bathtub (or at least they try)

Hmmm I agree with Horse.

Looks good to FOTs, bad to the uneducated. My 10-year-old cousin named his dog "Badger" for some reason and his mother likes to confide in us that "it's a stupid name! You wouldn't name your kid, like, I don't know, Monkey or something, so why would you name your dog after another animal!"

Perhaps there is someone this rage-y in your life. In which case, you want to avoid this kind of conflict.

I am going to be giving my roommate the full FOTCAT list in the next couple of days and once we decide on one, I'll announce the verdict. Until then, he's going to have to settle for Mr. X, Jerk, Bubba, Tough Guy, Doctor Stupid, Psycho, Monkey, Little Dude, The Unit, or Satan.
