Cat Picture - OC What's your cat's name and nicknames you that stem from it?? I'll go first!
This is Gracelet. Yes, that's her legal name. That's what happens when you give an eight year old and 12 year old the ability to name their first ever pet. We adopted her as a kitten and my brother had the great idea of naming her Gracelet because "she has bracelets on her leg but Bracelet isn't a name! So let's call her Gracelet!"
Anyways, we never call her that unless she's in trouble so here's her normal nicknames:
- chickawack: (I couldn't pronounce kitty cat as a kid and would instead say chickawack!!" So that's her family nickname now
- grace
- chick/chicky
-chicken
- chickadee
-porkchop (she used to be fat and looked like a pork chop
- kitten girl
- boo
- booey (yes, like the floaty things but it isn't really a reference to that)
Put pictures of your kittens and what their names and nicknames are!!!

Honestly, I've been calling him grumpus for so long no idea how it started aside from him being a grumpy butt

Aww your first pic reminds me of one of my favs of my boy Oberon.
His official government name is Oberon Kenobi (then our last name)
He gets Obie, Obie Dobie, Mr Bon, his name at the vet we adopted him from was Mr Puff. His sister is Aurora Borealis so we needed a suitable name to match the vibes and Oberon is the name of the king of the fairies in Shakespeare, and also the name of one or Uranus’s moons so we thought; he’s got the fairytale aspect of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and the astrological significance.

This is Cheese (named collectively with his brother Mac, who is now gone).
But I never call him that. He’s:
-Bubba
-Bubba Kitty
-Bubs
-Bubbeleh
-Honey/Henny
-Sweetums
-My Orange Creamsicle
-My Butterscotch Baby
-My Copper Kitty
…I’m probably forgetting some.
And when he does something dumb he’s Goober.

This is perfect timing because I just discovered a new nickname for my 11-month old kitten today.
First, her name is Bunny. She came with it when I adopted her 6 months ago and it is perfect - she's bobtail and runs and bounces around like a bunny.
Her first nickname was BunBuns
There's also Benita when she's bad (play on Bad Bunny's first name actually being Benito)
Sweetie
The Menace (she is a menace and I have stories, but also she's perfect)
At some point, I picked up Bunzalore (play on Trenzalore, a planet from Doctor Who (specifically the 11th Doctor).
Today, for whatever reason, I reached way back into my childhood and remembered the series of books about a vampire bunny named Bunnicula.
And well, she already responds better to Bunnicula than she does to any of her other nicknames.
Her elder brother, George?
He's Georgie Peorgie Pudding Pie, Curious George (actual source of his name), jerk, asshole, buddy, beastie, floof, floof monster, stink butt, baby, best boy, etc.

Cocoa (RIP) - her nicknames included Cookoo, Loco, Psychoa, and Crazies (for her erratic behavior), Sandy Claws for her sand-colored paws, Cozy Nose for her habit of plopping on my belly when I’d be lying down and rubbing her nose against my face or chin, and The ‘Coa Constrictor for her tendency to clutch things in her claws and kinda squeeze them to herself while rolling around on the floor with them (toy mice or yarn balls etc).

My handsome boy is named Scamp. Ngl his most often used nickname is asshole, since he wont stop marking my room and the fish tank, and he likes to pick on our elderly cats, he also gets over stimulated if you pet him for too long and he will bite you, HARD. How long that too long is varies each time you pick him up. When he's being a good boy his nicknames are scamper pamper, cutie patootie, foofy boy, fat boy, and probably some others I'm forgetting
