Cat Name Database Volume 1 Here is the original set of cat names: Panther. I named my cat Panther because she is black, beautiful, sleek, and sneaky like a panther Submitted by Samantha Piazza Peanut. This is my cats name because he was as small as a peanut when we got him, now he is 14 lbs.! Thumper. Thumper is a Grey Silver Tabby... His back feet look like Rabbit's feet... and when you scratch his stomach... he kicks with his back legs and looks just like a rabbit kicking. <jjbrown@erinet.com> Ziggysmund. One Christmas Eve, I was listening to a radio program that was telling a touching story of a poor man and his donkey. The donkey's name was Ziggysmund. The story touched my heart, and so I named my cat after the animal. Oscar, Seymour. Krindel. Corrigan. Salem. Drizzle. He's my black cat. Baby Doc. Baby Doc was originally named "Doc" in keeping with a dwarfish theme, as I already had a "Grumpy", but when I found him in my front yard he was a very tiny baby and I found myself calling him "Baby" more often than not. And with Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier in the news at the time. . . it seemed a natural evolution. Baby Doc (the feline one) and I have been together for 13 years now. Submitted by Toni Campbell <ToniCamp@aol.com> Jasmine. Our adoptee from local prison grounds. JEWEL. BECAUSE THIS IS MY CAT'S NAME AND SHE IS A PRETTY CAT Submitted by EMMANUELLE <meow89@hotmail.com> JEWEL. Whiskers. Cupcakes. She was a stray sitting in front of a convenience store on a very hot August afternoon. I went in the store to get her something to eat and drink, and she ran in with me. The store clerk and I finally caught up with her in the Hostess cupcakes display - she was telling me her name was Cupcakes. She turned out to be just as sweet as the edible kind also. Submitted by Carolyn Sidney. Sidney is Marty's sister, and we named her that because my husband and I watched all the Sid and Marty Croft cartoons when we were little ("Sigmund the Sea Monster", "HR Puffenstuff", etc) Marty . Marty got his name because we are big fans of Steve Martin and Martin Short, and he was a little comedian! Kris, Goose, Morris, Ducky, Peacock, Tiger, Junior. Kris is for Chrismas because that is when we got her Goose is because she is gray Morris we didn't name him Ducky We had a goose so we needed a Ducky (and Rubber Ducky song) Peacock for the stripes on his brothers back Tiger A tiger like face Junior He looked like his mother Kris <Andreaf@amigo.net> Special K. Special K has deformed toes, a deformed ear, and a deformed tail -- so she's a special kitty! Shiva. Shiva is a stray I took home and in the beginning all she did was cause trouble, break things, and go to the bathroom on my bed. We named her Shiva after the Indian goddess of destruction. Icky and Boogshie. Icky is a 4 yo, white, Sphinx whose real name is Isis of Lncats. My breeder and I call her Icky because when she gets "squirrel stress" or insists on lounging on the gas stove in the middle of summer, she exudes sweat and oil just like her furry sisters. Only there's no fur to lick to distribute it. So she get very "icky." Boogshie in Syrian slang means "Asshole" and, I'm sorry to say, even though he's wonderfully lovable, he is!!

Both moved in and are now spayed/neutered and vaccinated. She was half starved. Her little body displayed the signs of fights with other creatures. Her right ear has a big tear. Beautiful eyes. Beautiful spirit. The name Bella seemed obvious. Toby later moved in. People dropped a little pregnant female, Nor, who had her little family: Moe, Rudy and Scrunch. A little feral male (2 weeks old) was dropped at the back door. His name is Louis. He's the darling of the entire household (cats, people & dogs). All who have arrived have been welcomed with love.

My cat, GRP Sutter's Firecracker, is a neutered redpoint Colorpoint Shorthair (AKA Siamese) who livens up any cat show with his incessant loud meowing. The judges are not allowed to ignore him; he keeps up his noise until they take him out of his cage and put him on the judging table. Then he is quiet. He plays with their toys, stretches, purrs and rolls on the table for them. Then they put him back in his cage and the noise starts up again. He's really a fun cat to have around.
