My cousin has a doberman called Deefer...

A roomie of mine named his cat Skr1pt.. as in script kitty.

My cats are Charlie, and Thingy. Most of the time they go by "black one" and "orange thing"

I call my wife's cat ``Cat''. Or maybe just ``cat''. I've always been partial, though, to ``Shithead''.

I know I'm getting into to this thread late but heres a few:

Widowhead (Because he has such a "wido head" not!)
Fizzgig (because I like that name and he looks like trouble)
Tracer (because he looks like he can move like a shot)
Clip (because he looks like he wants to move at a fast clip)
Thanatos (because he looks like he wants ta kill ya, he's even licking his chops!)

My first cat was Flinx - which seemed appropriate.

My current 13 year old huge black cat is called Braveheart (not my choice) but he responds to 'cat', 'fatty', 'here's food' etc

OK... I have a cat named "Scratchy"; for him it is very appropriate. Of course the name was taken from the "Itchy and Scratchy" show....

I have two cats, one of them is named ThunderKitty we got him when he was about three. He's a brute, weighed in at 18lbs. He's lost a lot of weight now due to diabetes but he's still kickin' around and seems to be enjoying life even though he has lost a lot of mobility. The other is named Tigger he's young (about 5) and brings us "presents" shrews, mice, lizards, snakes, birds, squirrels, fully grown rabbits, etc.

sooooo, has a name been picked yet? Can I get an update as to where we are in the process?

Haven't picked a name yet, but I'm leaning towards "asshat."

Seriously though, I think either Linus, Bit, or Syzygy.

I had an all black cat a year ago or so named Capo. He was hit by a car about a month after I lost my job, apartment and had to move back in with my parents. About a day later my sisters boyfriend found three kittens that were covered in paint and grease/oil. We took two of them them in (her boyfriend kept the third) and named them Harley and Chance. They are both still with my parents and sister. A few months before all that we had a cat named Biscuit (don't ask ) that died of poisoning of some sort; never did figure out exactly what happened. We also had a Russian Blue named Kitty (we could never decide what to call him ), but he was mentally disturbed. He had major behavioral problems and we ended up taking him to the ASPCA, which I still regret. He was about 10 years old.

That's probably more than any of you wanted to know.

So, anyway, when I moved out (again) I immediately started looking for a cat. I've never lived anywhere without cats for more than a month or so, so it just feels weird to not have one around.

Meet Spooky, the friendliest cat on planet earth. (she anticipated the flash and closed her eyes )

Awww, Capo is such a great name for a cat, that's so sweet.

I'm in a recording session this weekend and working with capos a lot...

Nitrus. (hehe...wonder where that came from?)
Chirp.
Bones.
Static.

They all do that!

Yeah, that sort of came out of nowhere. My sister and I were sitting trying to think of a name and she was playing her guitar and she said "Can you pass me that capo over there?" I said, "That's IT! We'll name him Capo."

I wouldn't feel too bad. Normal cats make wonderful pets. Cats with severe emotional issues can be downright dangerous. If not to you, then to some kidi that comes into contact. Basically it all boils down to the fact that if cats were twice their normal size, we wouldn't keep them as pets.

Very true; he was urinating and defecating everywhere. He didn't start doing that until about three months before we got rid of him.
Other than that he was a great cat; very well tempered, playful and loving. Plus, I've always liked Russian Blues, the color is just real kewl and their eyes are always mesmerizing. Still, I don't like the fact that he more than likely ended up being euthanized because of us.

No, we leave that up to Sigfreid and Roy.

Better them than me. I have a friend here that has a completely nuts cat. It's the meanest s-o-b I've ever seen. He does enough damage at 8 pounds. I couldn't imagine one that weighed 40. -=shudder=-
