whats the best dog or cat name you ever heard?
when I was a kid there was this big white sheep dog named "cloud" in the neighborhood

another neighbor had a cat named "DC", later I learned it stood for dumb cat, so named because he would sleep out in the open in the rain.

1. "Whatadog" - a small mongrel that looked like a Welsh corgi with a long tail
"Cadwallader" - a St. Bernard, "Pusswillikins" - a black cat - and three kittens named "Surely," "Goodness," and "Mercy"

as a teenager in England, my grandmum used to bemoan the long-haired musician types I liked to date as "bloody Riff Raff" - I named my kitty in her honor :D

28. We once had a cat that was completely black. No markings of any kind.
My Dad named him Spot.

I've been dying to name one of our dogs either Zaphod or Slartibartfast (I'm an HG2G fan). Mrs. av8rdave always seems to overrule me.

But it is funny!

I have a cousin who grew up in a very small, rural village. At one time when he was a little kid he had a pet goat. The goat's name? Scape.

36. Had a neighbor as a kid with a dog named Kittie.
The name over the doghouse said Kit (as in Carson), but the neighbors son called it Kittie so long that it wouldn't answer to anything else. When the kid grew up and moved out, it was just his dad and dog left behind. The neighborhood knew them as Grumpy & Kittie :)

It was very funny watching him walk out and yell "Here Kittie!" and see a big old Newfoundland come running.

43. A poodle named "Piddles" had the funniest name.
And someone I know named their small, mixed-breed pooch Rat Dog.

My cat was named Pouncer, which was kinda cool, but probably not very unique.

Psyche, however, is my favorite pet name. Psyche was actually a wolf, but that's close enough to a dog.

49. When he was a kid, my nephew had a dog named Jack.
Jack died when my nephew was about 9, and was devastated. My brother & his wife were hesitant about getting another dog because my nephew always talked about how he missed Jack.

After about a year, my brother had the opportunity to get a puppy from one of his friends and one day the family went to visit them to pick the puppy up. My nephew was introduced to the dog & allowed to be with him for a few minutes. Then my brother went up to my nephew and asked what he thought of the puppy & if he thought he would be a good dog. My nephew said, "Well, there's a chance that he'll be as good as Jack was."

So, that's what they named him - Chance.

That's what my hairdresser named one of her dogs. When she got her husky, she named him Nanook.

She loved annoying her fundie neighbor by leaning out her back door to call the dogs in from the yard:

"Here, Tiz! Nookie!"

70. My little brothers' rat terrier pup CHOSE his own name. No matter what anybody called him,
Edited on Sat Aug-22-09 11:19 PM by Petrushka
he wouldn't respond. He'd ignore them even if he was being offered a treat. Then,
one day, while the opera "Figaro" was playing on the radio, the pup would approach the radio,
whine and howl. After that, all anybody had to do was sing or call "Figaro, Figaro" and he'd be
right there, wagging his tail.

"...and Figaro was his name-oh!"

==================================================================
Also: My daughter had a German Shepherd she named "Sylvester" and
a black cat she named "Widdershins".

Edited to add:
My granddaughter recently purchased two goldfish and named them
"Misery" and "Company".

107. Figaro is the little black and white cat in Pinocchio.
Trivia.

"Figaro" is a lot shorter than "The Original Bedroom Farce". :D

Mozart is COOL!

72. I named my first Ferret Ferret
Till my family stuck their noses into the matter.

Ive always wanted a cat named monkey, a dog named kitty, a ferret named Dog, and a monkey named ferret. Preferably all at once. And the monkey should be trained to clean litter boxes.

76. A coworker adopted one of my cat Tisha's kittens
and named it "Kalamazoo." Tisha was a Persian cat with papers which were registered in the name of "Nartisha Louise." I thought it was the weirdest thing I'd ever heard, but then found out that breeders often give the offspring of champions weird names.

90. When my kids were young they had a black cat they named BOO, the little neighbor girl
adopted the sister of said cat and wanted to name her cat Boo too. No matter how we tried to explain it to her how it wouldn't work she insisted so her parents named the cat Butu.

108. Cain.
Cain was a little runt cocker spaniel that belonged to my BF when he moved in with me.

Cain was about six months old, when his momma had another litter, of two. Cain killed one of the pups.

Therefore, he was Cain because he slew his brother.

<rimshot>




The sister that survived was Sera, short for Seraphim. Their momma was Angel.

110. The One and Only Original Vanilla Caramel Ice Cream Cat
When he was curled up he looked like a bowl of vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce drizzled over the top. Really cool cat.


My sister had a cat she named Screaming Yellow Zonkers. He was slightly yellowish, screamed a lot and was totally insane, so it fit him perfectly.
