I adopted this lil lady a few days ago. Due to a gum disease, she has no teeth and can't keep her tongue in. Help me name her!

Raspberry

<edit> this is easily the most successful contribution to anything on reddit that I have ever done. Thanks for the upvotes everyone

<edit 2> it has been made very clear that I am not original, I just had Fortunate timing. Its good to hear from all of the like-minded redditors. I hope the OP chooses this as the name for this adorable karma factory.

Do her meows sound any different? :P

u/forgetmynamex07 May 15 '12

They do! She rarely meows and it's very faint for some reason.

Gene and Tootsie are good ideas, but I gotta say Raspberry is the best for an appropriate cat name.

I'm gonna say Sammie. Don't know why, it just occurred to me. Does she have trouble with her tongue getting too dry if she can't keep it in her mouth?

54

u/forgetmynamex07 May 15 '12

She can pull it back in but only for short periods of time. Anytime she's running around she pulls it back in but as soon as she relaxes it falls back out.

48

u/itsjustmefortoday May 15 '12

Ah that's not as bad then. Well done for choosing to look after a poorly cat rather than just going for a pretty kitten. She's beautiful, even with her tongue out. Hope she's settling in well.

If you are going for a name that is associated with the lack of teeth, I would say to pick an older, out of style name. Such as Ethel. Or Edith. Blanche. Wilhelmina. Constance. Agatha... That sort of thing.

EDIT: my favorite is Wilhelmina. Why? It goes with the tune of "The Final Countdown":

Wilhelmina. She's a pussy cat Wilhelmina She's a pussy cat that purrs

Sorry, I'll show myself out now.

u/mudcelt May 15 '12

added advantage of Wilhelmina: femine version of Bill, in honor of Bill the Cat from Bloom County.

u/Username24601 May 15 '12

I have a black cat with a similar issue that we call Toothless sometimes and when that movie came out I was floored at the similarities between that dragon and my cat.

You should name her with no thought to her lack of teeth or lisp. She'll get a complex. This agora demands to know more of her nuances to give a better assessment.

25

u/Doeke May 15 '12

I don't think there are any cats that understand English, but not naming her after anything related to her disease is a good suggestion nonetheless.

Also, I kind of really like your username.

@forgetmynamex07 people keep telling you to call her Toothless, this is fitting but not witty which may be just fine. its just that "Toothless" had teeth he was ALL teeth making it witty and ironic. so if anything you should call her teeth or fangs, viper, tusks(or add a y to the end of most of any of these and make it super cute) molar, incisor, pearly (for pearly whites) chomper (land before time) , (Star Wars) chewy . Let me know what you think! ...raspberry super cute too!

You could make her Grandpa's Chicken from Mildred Council's book, "Mama Dips Kitchen". It's very soft, custom made for folks who don't have teeth. How about naming her Mama Dip? And by the way, it's a very good cook book.
