    my cat’s name is basically pronounced “cookie”, but gets spelled kouki. found it a pretty interesting name because it means hope and/or happines depending on how you write it, it fit pretty well because i got him to help with my depression. and i think it worked pretty well. he is also very handsome.

      I’ve got a friend who had a dog named D.O.G. He’d always pronounce it like he was saying “the OG”. I never figured out whether it actually stood for anything.

    Like a person, a cat’s full name is only ever invoked when it has done something wrong.

      Cats have three names, the everyday one, the fancy longer one and their private personal one.

      It’s completely normal.

    My cat’s name is Nancy Reagan. She’s almost lived up to it. And no, she doesn’t like you either and if you try to pet her you’ll get what you deserve.

    Some cats have official titles. I had another cat whose title was “Chief Inspector.” He was known to do home invasions and conduct snap inspections of my neighbors houses. He had more friends in the neighborhood than me.

    I tried to name my cat Lou (short for Lucifer) but eventually he got renamed Mao because he is loud and vocal and apparently we name animals by Pokemon rules in my house.

    One of my cats is Sadie The Goat (the cat).

    She had a really bad eye infection when we got her from my in-laws farm and we thought she’d lose an eye so we gave her a pirate name to be safe

    She ended up not losing the eye but its still a fitting name
