Do you have pets? If so, what do you call them?


I got two from the streets. The first my wife and I didn't name the first one. We just call her "Mi-chan" because the neighbors called her that because of her "Meows" with hers having less of the drawn-out "-eow" sound and more of a "mew" and even "mi" sound.

We all contributed to feeding her in our neighborhood but one day I found her crawling around screaming and unable to walk. She was dragging her lower body with her front legs. I think she fell off from a high place because she was always climbing up trees and fences. So I tried to pick her up as carefully as I could even though it hurt her and rushed her to the vet. The vet found that she fractured her hip and she required surgery to fix it.
So I stayed for the surgery and I couldn't just set her back in the streets in good conscience while she's recovering so I sprung it on my wife that I found her this way and maybe we can keep her at least until she's recovered. My wife took it well since she fell for her too in the process of feeding her outside and we just ended up keeping her in our house.
The second one we call "Macho". She looks like this:

That pic was taken long after we took her in, but she was also a stray cat outside our house but the neighbors didn't like her so much. She was always scrounging around the garbage and getting into fights with every cat around her. But we fed her anyway but she had this thing where she would eat a few bites and scream and run away like it hurt her to eat and chew.
Then one day she couldn't even eat a single bite of food without being in what looked like constant pain. So I carefully coaxed her with a purely wet treat she liked and caught her (had to chase her so many blocks and then got scratched and bleeding all over the place) and rushed her to the vet. Then they discovered she has a condition called Feline Stomatitis in a pretty critical stage and so they loaded her up with antibiotics and treatments and we had to extract some of her teeth later. She was so skinny and small at the time I took her in and smelled like garbage that I thought she was a kitten, but the vet looked at her teeth and estimated she's at least 10 years old, so she's actually like a grandmother cat. Now she's a fatso.
It was a similar case after that. While taking care of her during recovery, I sprung it on my wife that maybe she shouldn't send her back out on the streets at least while she's recovering. Then we ended up just keeping a second cat in our house.
But their names are "Mi" and "Macho".
I wrote a song for the first one (Mi-chan). She's like a super-agile cat and even after fracturing her hip, she made a very fast recovery with the surgery and can jump like 2 meters high in the air and climb all sorts of things. So she's like a Japanese ninja cat.

I need to come up with a theme song for "Macho". She's a newer cat and we just took her in like a year and a half ago. Maybe her theme song should be more like Conan the Barbarian. She's a tough old cat.
Actually sampled her "meow" sound and turned it into a synth for that song. :-D
With Mi-chan, I think we were supposed to keep her anyway. Sometimes she'd disappear from our neighborhood for an entire week, and my wife and I would worry so hard while we'd venture around looking for her. We'd end up worrying that she might have been hit by a car or something like that.
Then one day she disappeared for over two weeks and we became paranoid and put up posters of her everywhere only to find her one day in a parking lot so far away from where we lived but she recognized us immediately shouting, "Mi-chan!" She came crawling out from under a car. And we wanted to keep her already so we took her back to our neighborhood and even let her stay for a good while in our house before setting her back outside.
But after the hip fracture she took, we pretty much felt like we had to keep her. We have no choice even though we never wanted any pets.
Another of Mi-chan back when she was a stray. My wife took the pic surrounded by neighbors who were amazed that I was able to tame her:
I got some sort of knack for taming wild animals. I think it's because I'm also a wild animal. :-D I'm struggling with civilization and stuff.
@HighlyVolatile That is SO COOL that you made her her own song! 🤩
@Jamie05rhs I ended up making one for Macho since the last time: old time-traveling cat in outer space navigating asteroids and senility (she tends to sometimes have these blank stares on her face and just huddles in a place like she's out of it and lost in outer space -- but then she snaps back and seems to return to reality when you pet her and immediately stands up and seems happy):

@HighlyVolatile That's awesome!
Dude, that was so dope. I loved it.
@Jamie05rhs Cheers!
Call them Bitches and Bastards 🙃. My 12 year old outdoor protect bulbs, guard screened porch door, and general outdoor ThomCat (“Lotto” his Name) passed just after November-December, “ Rabbit Season” had ended. And now, the damn 🐇 know it. Pets suck too, however, there are some ugly 🚼 Grey/White (bastard) and Caustic Orange (bitch) young ones in “Rabbit Season” training.
Now Being (living Soul, Mind, Body, and Essence), such as Babies 👶 In Womb, I call children. Self-Preservation into Eternity SO every time I see a Momma rolling a kid or on a kid toy in the Bike Lane.-That’s a child slide left or right 🚴 up onto sidewalk. 🙀 . The seats suck so I’m already numb- 🧠/ 🍆 dead so there’s no “real” pain for me in Crash.
Changed it to others!
I have a beagle, her name is Annie, but she’s kinda chubby, so we call her Tubby. We have a whole slew of nicknames for her too. “Nannie, tubby, nannis, pannies, nannie wannie, tubbs, annie bananie” etc. She’s my little old lady, she has a bunch of little “old lady bumps” (benign tumors) on her.

I have a gecko, his name is Oliver, but I call him “Ollie, Ollie Wollie, Wawa.” He’s a pretty cool dude lol. I’m also babysitting my sisters gecko right now, his name is Basil. My boyfriend likes to call him “ZaZa” and Ollie “WaWa.” Lol. Ollie.

Left is Basil “ZaZa,” Right is Ollie “WaWa”

My boyfriend hanging out with WaWa and ZaZa. Ollie is on his arm, Basil is on the bed.
I had other photos linked but I think they deleted ☹️
Thank you!!
Awww!! Annie is beautiful! Look at her adorable eyes. I so want to cuddle her. 😍😍🥺
ZaZa and WaWa are the cutest nicknames I've ever seen! They're both so cuteeee, although the way ZaZa looked at the camera, it made me think ZaZa is offended because I sneezed 😐😜
That sucks. :-/ but hey, at least I got to see 3 really lovely pictures which really made me smile! 😊
@n4meAL Lol, its a crested gecko
@WhatTheHeckkkk lol you are not disgusted and where did you get it from?
@n4meAL Nope not disgusted. I got them from a local pet shop.
Which kid is naming these names to them making them rhyme
Yes, Winnie and Tigerlily.

This is widow, it's a ferret at the park after playing for hours, it's sleeping on a bunch of leaves, it's my bros and his gfs but it grew on me, they took it out of state with them and I miss it, it just lays on my forearm and lays flat until I put her down lol
If it stays still with you, it only stays calm with certain people, not with my bro and not even his girlfriend, it stays still with me tho, with other people it tries jumping off their arms, it will desperately try wiggling off your arms, I think it's all on the way you hold them, if they are comfortable they will see no reason to move 😂


Frieda's definitely more affectionate. She likes head rubs and will crawl down on my chest to tuck her head under my chin.
But Mocha does show affection too. When she's sitting on my shoulder, I'll make a kissy face at her and she'll groom my whiskers.
This is my little girl Zoey. I call her Zoe for short, or Fuzz-Butt.

OMG! I can't help but always stare at your profile picture everytime I come across you on GaG as I really think she's super adorable, lol. You gave her a cute name and even a very perfect nickname. Fuzz-Butt, lol.
So, it really made me happy that you posted her pictures on this thread. Thank you! I'm going to steal Zoe from you, though. 🤪🤣
I present to you... Mr. Cat:

Here is Marilyn Monroe going on age 3 she is Maltese



Simba my cat with Joey my tortoise.

my favorite fat doggo <33 her name is zelda but i have like 500 nicknames for her.
We had a shepherd's dog named Toto 😹 i don't know why i named it that way Toto 🤣

This was my cat. He lived to be 20 years old.
We had the family cat until just recently when he got run over.😔😭
he's name was Slips (Translates to "tie" in Swedish). He was about to turn 12 in June.
But he made sure to say goodbye to everyone before he left, almost as if he knew. He was very loving the day before and he hung out outside on the porch up until the hour before his death. He even let the neighbor pet him, she sometimes take cares of him.

Was a stray cat and now has a home we called him Tom
Oh kind angel 😇 bless thou
I would name, and will, name my new Pom Genie. It is fighting. Loud mouthed and lovable.
I want cat gifs!!! He’s not too smart. Couldn’t gather enough brain cells to figure not a good idea to troll a mod. Sigh.

We had to say goodbye to her last March. Just got a new Boston a couple days ago. Drove an impromptu 500 mile round trip to get her on New Year's Day.
I have two cats. Their names are in my mother language, they basically mean Beauty and Snowflake in English 😂

Yeah 2 months back a parrot came out of nowhere and started living in our guava tree. So we happily took it in and it’s been great for us. We have named it Mitu as that’s what people generally call them in our place.
I call him Lamb-Lamb, which is silly when I actually think about it. It started as “Wee lamb” like the Scottish expression.
Official name Malory
Unofficial name Butt butt. And tiny bastard.
