      I have never seen a cat look so much like one of those worm-on-a-string toys

        They are! I was only going to get one cat after a nasty divorce, but found out they were a bonded pair and went home with two. They keep the silence at bay. I couldn’t picture my life without them.

    This is Lucy, but at some point early on in our relationship my wife started calling her Chichi and it’s stuck.

    Usually she was Sasha, but if there was ham in the room, she was Ham Cat.

    We lost her about two years ago.

      I lost my first cat to FELV before he turned a year old. Losing a cat hurts a lot. I hope you and yours are getting by okay.

    I have a William Shakespeare and an Edgar Allan Poe! We generally call them William and Edgar, sometimes “Babies” when referring to them collectively, and sometimes “You little shit!!!” when Edgar is up to no good.

      Those are two cute voids. Do you ever get them confused? Do they have any defining characteristics?

        They’re different sizes for starters, William is a bit beefier and Edgar is slimmer. Also their fur is a different consistency, Edgar is slicker and more shiny. On top of that, their meows are so different and Edgar is extremely chatty. Normally the only time we get them confused is from a distance or late at night when we’re shouting at whoever is being bad.

    For our Triscuit, we call her Triss most of the time. We really want another cat, a black one, to name Yennifer.

    A friend of mine calls his boy Luci (yes, a nod to the Disenchantment series) “a sack of buttkicks”.

    Their names are Booker and Hollow

    Booker’s nicknames are Book, Bookbookbookbookbook, Stinky, and Baby because his meow is tiny and he’s baby

    Hollow’s nicknames are Mister Man, Kermit (his meow sounds like Kermit swallowing a tennis ball), Holla at ya homeboy, Stinky, and Chocolate Boi because he turns chocolate brown in the sunlight.

    They’re both so stupid and I love them.

    I grew up next to a Norwegian neighbour who called our cat “Kattepus”, and I have apparently picked up and kept the habit of referring to my own cat that way. He’s also called Baggy, because being a black cat everyone wanted me to name him Bagheera
