A new cat has entered my life. The shelter named him Richard, but I wouldn't mind changing that up for too-online reasons.

Cleo, Hammer, Temp, Zeb, Biscuit, Tablet, Headphones, Printer, Keys, Lampshade, Pillow, Vase, Burt, Laminator.

You can play off all of these names.

A very common trend...

1) Cat gets named.

2) People start calling the cat names that are not the name from 1) above.

3) Cat now has 8 different names.

4) Cat is never called the name from 1) except when explaining to people that that is the cat's actual name and everything else is what everyone calls said cat.

5) Cat gives not fucks.

Weird but good, why not? :)

My theory is that your pet picks up on a particular syllable of its name and as long as you incorporate that sound, they'll recognize the nickname.
Source: My cat's name is Ezra Peeps. He'll respond to any of his "pee" nicknames: Peeps, Peepers, Pee, Pee Pee Head, Peeparoo, Ezzy Peeps... But he ignores "Ezra."

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I like to split the difference between people who want human names for pets and those who want to just call them the species. It's very easy for cats because there are so many human names like
Cat
Catherine
Katherine
Katya
Catalina
Catelyn
Katrina
which lets you just call them "hey cat" which is the proper universal greeting for all cats.

My cat's name is Heather, because my sister's cat is named Thistle.
She bridges the gap between human and non-human names.

Speaking of basic old people names for cats, I fell down a Wikipedia rabbithole and learned that Kat Dennings's cat's name is Millie, which I think is just swell. :3:

hosed up the imgur, Lucifer should show up now as well.

Though Nilo is also called Scamp and Snail. Don't ask how he got that last name or I will be forced to post video evidence.
