Cutest Cat Name?

I always thought that was the cutest name I'd ever heard (besides my Hobbes of course). How about you?? We got Amaretto as a kitten when he was only 2 days old. We named him for a bottle set of Amaretto with two glasses that Derek bought for me as a gift--he was leaving the next day to spend some of his spring vacation with his family. This was in the days before we were married and then spent our spring vacations together! I did not like the idea of Amaretto being "alone" for so much time, especially while we were in classes (this was in New Brunswick where we met, both doing our PhD degrees in Anthropology), so we purchased Alino from a breeder--the same lady who provided us with Amaretto for free, especially when she thought the kitten would not survive without its mother's care. Alino Preparado is a spice used for meats in Venezuela (where Derek's mother is originally from). As it turned out, both cats were perfectly named--Amaretto was always regal and majestic, just like the liqueur! Alino was always the fun, noisy and silly kitty, very spicy!! With Pemberton, we have gone back to my families' habit of selecting family names for pets. My grandmothers were Mildred Pemberton Horton and Harriet Elvira Wilmot--if I had been named for them, I would have been Mildred Harriet, or Elvira Pemberton!! Thank goodness my folks settled on Margaret Catherine--named for a number of good friends. But, Pemberton is the only name in the set that I genuinely like--so we gave it to Pemberton! Eventually, we hope to welcome Elvira (which Derek likes) or Ebenezer--named for my great grandfather, Wallace Ebenezer. Other possibles for the future are Omar, Franklin, Vroom and Eddy. I love this thread--lots of REALLY cute names!! Bestest, PegNDerek |

Cutest Cat Name?
Suddenly, without warning, LauraM exclaimed (1/29/2009 8:45 PM):
I was just wondering what you all thought was the cutest cat name you've ever heard. My girlfriend had a cat for 20 years named Moses. I always thought that was the cutest name I'd ever heard (besides my Hobbes of course). How about you?? When I adopted my first cat, Mouse, she was so tiny she fit in my small hand. She was grey and had a tail, but too small to be a cat so she must be a mouse. Of course, turns out Mouse was at least part Maine Coon - she had the tail, the little peep, and the size - 18# of pure muscle! My current cat, Meep, was abandoned at a shelter with her mom and 5 siblings. The first couple of days after I adopted her, she wandered around the house going, "Meep? Meep!" - I think she was looking for her family. Meep was supposed to be a temporary name, but since it's now 12 years later, I can safely say it's stuck. jmc |

I think it was a few seasons ago, but one of the Bachelorettes was nicknamed "Meep" because she hiccupped uncontrollably. And when she hiccupped, she tried to contain it at the same time which meant the sound came out as a "meep". I always think of her when I read your posts about Meep. I love Mouse! How funny that she turned out to be so muscular. |

I liked it and thought it "fit" him, so he has been Duffy (usually connected with all sorts of "loving" titles) ever since. MaryL |

Cutest Cat Name?
My very first cat as a little girl was named Cheetah. A beautiful
calico, long and slinky. She got pregnant and gave birth to a single cat, all white, we called Baby. Unfortunately, Baby got hit by a car when he as 6 months. We also had a country cat named Anthony. When I got my first apartment, my first cat was named Rider. He got the name when he somehow got out of the box in the car and rode comfortably on my shoulder the rest of the way home from the shelter. Used to love to go to the vet because he knew he'd get to ride in the car and he was always so well behaved in it. Then along came Lady who was definitely not one. I gave up Lady and Rider when I married my husband who was allergic. After I gave up my husband, I knew I'd never give up another cat for a man again. The next is an interesting story. Gummitch is the name of a cat from a series of stories by Fritz Lieber. He's a a philosophically minded kitten with an I.Q. of 160, just waiting for his ritual cup of coffee so that he can become human, too. I went looking for him and, as a grey tiger Domestic Shorthair, he found me, together with his buddy, Growl Tiger, a Turkish Van. Yup, inspired by TS Elliot's poem "Growl Tiger's Last Stand." BTW, I consider Gummitch my feline soul. I seem to find him whenever I need to. I honestly believe he was Cheetah and Rider. There's just something in them that resonated with me. Anyway, after Growl Tiger left us we needed a companion for Gummitch and found Chaplin. He's a Ragamuffin named after Charlie Chaplin because he wears a tuxedo, has a little white mustache under his nose that looks just like the silent movie star and even waddles when he walks. LOL It's very funny to see. When Gummitch passed to his next life in 2002 it took me a long time to find him again. Even though I'd found him as a 2 week old kitten 2 weeks later, it took me another 6 weeks before I realize it was him. That's because he chose to return as a silly mama's boy of a Russian Blue called Furby. Don't ask me how he got that name, it's what he wanted to be called and the only thing he answered to so it stuck. I always have at least two cats at one time. Preferably one younger, one older. The young one helps the older one stay fit. Well, except for Furby and Chaplin. Chaplin is a lazy cat if I ever had one but Furby does manage to get him to run up and down the hall at least two or three times after dinner each night. But that's about it for Chaplin. Who the new felines in my life will be in the future, is anyone's guess. But I'm sure they'll let me know.
