O cat of many names...

[fabulousfrock]

Apparently it is National Cat Day, I learned from jessica_shea! Well, it has felt like National Cat Month around here...I've just been fretting about cats--and adoring them, too--all month. But what better time to post this silly list we made a couple weeks back of all the names we call Oskar. He is rarely actually called Oskar. (Just often enough to recognize it, I guess.)

The "My first male cat" series of names:
Boy
Boy-chan
Man
Manlord
Manfellow
Mr. Man
Mr. Beastly

The "royalty" series of names:
Prince Prancer
Little Prince
Lord
Cat Lord
Little Lord
Big Lord

The "you're being naughty" names:
Rock Lord (yes, that is a rather nonsensical name Dade calls him when he is scratching the chairs or being otherwise naughty)
Weasel
Weasel Lord
Cat Weasel
Fang Lord
Fang
The Rapist (for when he is menacing a female cat of the household)
Fuzz Weasel

The "semi-nonsense" series:

Babyji
Catji
Ji-chan
Beastro
Creachar

The "simple" series:

Cat Beast

The "descriptive of current appearance/behavior" series:

Longbody
Boy Energy
Little Dinosaur
Howler
Mister Peepers
Little Sphinx

The "weird names Dade just randomly has called him":
Oskar Malkovich
Old Vinegar Joe
Dr. Robert Jarvik Inventor of the Jarvik Artificial Heart
(it usually happens that the cat will be doing something he isn't supposed to and Dade will suddenly yell some nonsense at him and I will bust out laughing)
