    We name all the cats regardless of sex after something to do with literature. But that’s their government names and I normally don’t use those online to protect their tiny kitty privacy.

    All their nicknames are like

    Jerkcat Babycat Dingus YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC creature Sweetie Grey ghost Great hunter

    Look, just anything that pops into my head as I sing sweet nothings to them

    Current cat is creature often. Little weird creature.

    My girl cat Persephone got a goddess name, but we normally do old lady names and had a mental block on them at the time. So Percy it is.

    When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine’s coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.

    We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.
