I won't list them all (most will sound silly anyway), but Annie really seemed to LIKE it when I called her 'tiger' when she was very young (long story there). So she gets called 'tiger' or 'tiger girl' more often than not. (I'm aware it's an oxymoron . Which is an oxymoron? Tiger Girl Technically, she should be a tigress. I like how nicknames evolve. "Licky" has evolved into "Mr. Licks" or "Lick-Lick-Lick" (when I'm calling him). But Licky itself is a nickname, because his real name is Licorice. Ahh, I know a Licorice. A charcoal grey young man. He was quite the trouble maker in his younger days (my friends have 8 cats, I think)but he's mellowed out now. That has given rise to: "Ish" (final syllable of Licorice), "Ishington," and "Lick-Or-Ish" (each syllable enunciated slowly), among other things. Then there are songs. Most of these are silly words replacing the real lyrics of existing songs, but even those evolve into different (original) tunes. If you think this sounds weird, let me just say that my sister is worse. She had a cat named Caspar and his nickname was "Whitefish." Also, "Whitey," "Fish boy," and more. Her nicknaming strategy seemed based on the cat's appearance or personality, rather than being variations on the original name - in case you're wondering how Caspar morphed into Whitefish. Yep Most of the nicknames I come up with have little to do with their real names. I've been called yodel, squeeky because he is meowing all the time. also meoyodle kinda ryhmes with yodel. Matt, people call *you* yodel? I like "meoyodel." -- Joyce -- Oh, i meant to write ive been calling yodel squeeky. LOL. I liked the idea of your friends calling you "Yodel" due to your cat's meowing all the time. Or maybe due to *your* meowing all the time. -- Joyce I want freedom, the right to self expression, everyone's right to beautiful radiant things. -- Emma Goldman |
