Pet Nicknames...What Are Your Favorites?


Thank you to Cat Lady Laura of Creativity Unmasked for featuring my Flower Garden Cat print on her blog today! Even more exciting was hearing the news that I won a month of free advertising on this lovely new blog. She will be having another giveaway beginning on March 15, so if you have a business to advertise, be sure to check it out.

Cat Lady Laura also happens to be a talented jewelry (or should I say "jewellery"--she's from Australia!) designer. To see her gorgeous work, be sure to visit her other blog, Moags and Smeet. Laura explains how her business got its name: "Laura (Moags) is supported by her partner Dan (Smeet) and our much loved pets Oli and Tig, our dalmatian and our mixed-breed rescue cat. Moags and Smeet are, in reality, Tig (Moags, Moagie, Mr Moagie Moags...) and Oli (Peety, Smeety, Mr Smeet...) but we have stolen their fun nicknames as our namesakes."

Do you have unusual or funny nicknames for your pets? Please share them in the comments section of this post!

Our first cat was named "Schultheiss'.
this is a medieval German name for a mayor. he has made its name.

Our second tomcat was named by the breeder 'Terry'. (official documents) I have never called him because I think these names is for a dog. We called him instead of 'Schnuppmann' or 'Schnuppi'
..because he smells (schnuppern) eternally long to his food before he ate it. ;)

I am indeed a crazy cat lady, and proud of it. Thank you so very much for sharing the story of Moags and Smeet! I love all of the crazy names in the comments. Tig (the real Moags) is also referred to as Chairman Meow when he meowls to get his way. ~ Laura (Moags)

My furkids (cats and dogs) are with me for a long time and their nicknames sort of evolve in stages. For instance, Peja' is Paper, Payday, Paymaster, Lion King, and Gold Cat already, and he's only 2 years old. Probably the funniest is Sydney, who although very active, is a chunky-sort-of-guy. His many nicknames include Pork Chop, Pork, Chops, Porky and Fat Cat. Of course, I love them all dearly!
