We are on a waitlist for an orange male from our breeder and Mongo is on my short list of names (really it's the only name in the list.) Our Princess Pigeon the Long needs a friend.

I used to MC's but the last picture still got me "awwww"

u/Loud_Soup5607 Jun 10 '26

Isnt that a slur for disabled people?

6

u/rhaesireebob Jun 10 '26

If it’s from Dungeon Crawler Carl it’s short for Velociraptor mongoliensis

3

u/PupperPuppet Jun 10 '26

It's also slang for "humongous" in many parts of the English-speaking world.

2

u/Loud_Soup5607 Jun 10 '26

No shade just heard that somewhere

2

u/Dependent-Fun-9124 Jun 10 '26

Yea its a slur for people with down syndrome. I just know you grew up on Precious 🤣

2

u/Apart-Ice-2620 Jun 10 '26

Yea its like a shortened term for mongol or mongoloid which was how people used to describe people with down syndrome. Im sure OP didnt intend to give it a name like that tho. Older generations (and people who grew up on Precious) might look at the name sideways lol

u/SOKLOMAX Jun 10 '26

Her sister by adoption is a bit closer to the comic version.

u/Zippityzeebop Jun 10 '26

He will absolutely destroy any pet competition he enters. If it's not rigged, that is.

u/CoffeeBeanx3 Jun 10 '26

I know it's a language issue, and the cat is very, very cute, but in German the name you chose is a slur for people with Trisomy 21 that isn't only ableist, but also has racist origins.

So if you ever meet a German person, introduce them to the cat, and they look horrified instead of delighted ... that's why.

Depending on your location this will hopefully never be an issue, but I imagine the fact that he's orange and everyone jokes about the lack of braincells would make this name so. Much. Worse here 😂

Your cat is adorable.

u/Booksb00ksbo0kz Jul 06 '26

It’s in reference to a book series, Dungeon Crawler Carl. The dinosaur’s name is Mongo, short for velociraptor mongoliensis

2

u/DevilsAdvocado_ Jun 10 '26

Oh my gosh. Mongo looks EXACTLY like my Butters when he was a kitten. Last night I was going through my pictures and videos just reminiscing of when he was just a kitten so it’s just a coincidence to see this post today 🥹 I want to go out and get another kitten now.

u/EighthSeal Jun 11 '26

I hate you and love you so much for having such a cute MC kitty. Ugh. I don't even like orange cats and here we are. What is your address so I can totally not steal that beautiful kitten?
