My great grandmother had a cat named Dirtyface that outlived her by about a decade. It was an orange cat with super dark ginger fur around it's mouth and eyes.

We had several pets when I was a kid so here's a short list of fun names: Patches (a calico), Tom (a one eyed outside cat that yowled at the door if you let him in), TicTac (because we called him ticky-tack because it sounded like kitty cat), Twinkle (a really sneaky bastard that like to swat at your feet from under the bed), Drack (short for Dracula because he liked to bite everyone), Misfit (because she liked to squeeze her body into places she couldn't actually fit).

I rescued a cat a few years ago from a Walmart parking lot. His name is LittleFoot. He's polydactyl so he has extra toe beans making his paws super big and I thought it was ironic to call him that.

Therr are so many fuckin weird names in here, I've never thought anyone would name their cat 5-7 words. 🤣

Best friend's cat "Bosco" was short for "Baron Bosco Von Sandwichstein the Third."

Growing up I had a cat named VKK, which stood for Vicious Killer Kitten because she liked to bite ankles.

Full name Felix Raymundo and short Raylix sounds so casual reading all of yours.

I have a cow cat with one big black spot on the top of his head and on big one on his back. He's a very big boy who looks rather imposing but he's really sweet. We call him Kenny or Kenny-chan but his real name is Kenpachi (from Bleach). Coincidentally he lost an eye to cancer over a year ago so he looks even more like his namesake now.

Our cat Mittens full name is "Murder Mittens".

His given name is Lockheed, but you're much more likely to hear one of us yelling at the Turd-Burgler.

My dog's name is James Bond. We usually just call him James but people really get a kick out of it when we tell them his full name.

Pocky cause my kid couldn't say Rocky so we changed it.

Stray kittie I found on the parking lot where I work. Cool AF.
