Can you name a cat DUKE?

He will sometimes cuss like a sailor if I pick him up to hold him, but no matter what I do to him, he never struggles against. He just makes it sound like he is going to slash my throat with his non-existent claws or bite the crap out of me. And then once I sit down with him, he purrs like crazy. Talked about mixed messages. I've had him six days now and the only name that keeps coming through consistently is Duke. It just seems like that is a dogs name and shouldn't be used on a cat. Opinions please. Is Duke an okay cat name? Dunno why you are asking *us*. LOL! If he is telling you his name is Duke, then his name is Duke, and 'fooey' to any d-thing that takes offence!. Yowie Exactly! LOL. kili |

Is Duke an okay cat name? Yes, of course. I know a cat named Rover, as a matter of fact. Actually, he sounds a lot like a dog I knew named Duke, pronounced "DOOK." DOOK was a pitbull with a permanent scowl, who loved kittens. -- Theresa, Stinky and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |

Is Duke an okay cat name? Cats have three names. The name by which others call him, the name that other cats use for him, and the name which only they know. So, you can call him Duke, if you like. It really won't matter to him! -- MatSav Wow, I remember hearing about that G what is a 'meezer' anyway? Just curious... and what does UB mean? Kyla also up late Since I wrote the message, i would be glad to tell you what UB means, except I can't find it anywhere, so can't put it in context. Please quote the relevant passage so I can tell you what I MEANT to spell . Bridget |

Is Duke an okay cat name? Bridget Haven't met a feline "Duke" yet! I guess it's a cute name for a boycat. Except I always hang the "e" sound as a nickname: Like Franky, Booty, Bikkie, etc. "Dooky" sounds kinda bad :-) Sherry |

Is Duke an okay cat name? By allowing you to call him Duke he is showing that he is willing to accept a slight demotion. ALL cats are at least PRINCES. However, he has chosen and you must obey. -- Will in New Haven |

Yes, of course. *I know a cat named Rover, as a matter of fact. Jim the Gardener once had a cat called Dog And I think Duke is trying to tell you that is what he would like you to call him- you have no choice in this matter Besides you're asking someone whose cats very definitely told them they would like to be called Redunzel and Sarrasine?

Is Duke an okay cat name? Bridget Meezer's often have dog like personality traits. Ours have been Dammit Sam, Henry, and Jake. Duke may very well suit the tough guy he pretends to be. Jo |

"Debby Hanoka what is a 'meezer' anyway? Just curious... and what does UB mean? Kyla also up late Meezer is slang for a Siamese cat, but I don't know what UB means either. Debby Oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up G We had a Sealpoint meezer a very long time ago name of Phoebe, who went into heat...boy the yowls she gave were intense. She went to TED the next day to get fixed. Hug Kyla |

"Daniel Mahoney" and what does UB mean? Kyla also up late UB means "under breath", as if the comment marked with "UB" had been muttered softly. Oh, okay, that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up G Hug Kyla |
