It’s rare to see or hear a cat being called by their actual name! lol.
I’m willing to put money on the vast majority of cats having a nickname.
I was curious as to what people call their cats so I asked “what is your cat’s nickname?” on the My Mini Panther Facebook page.
Here are some of the responses…
“Wynnie, Sweet face, my baby. Lol
Her name is Wynter.” – Shannon C-S
“LiLi. Her name is Lady Licorice.” – Heather S K

“I have a black Norwegian Forest Cat. Officially, his name is Hairy. I call him Eraserhead, Gossamer, Richard Milton, Bubastis, Torvald, and several other names that I can’t think of at the moment.” John A
“His name is Moonie. I call him Moonbutt and my sister calls him Moon pie. My mom still calls him Arthur at times. We lost him in November.” Kimberly M
My Final Thoughts
There are some cute nicknames here and some are very funny!
We have a black male cat called Coco and he has many nicknames.
I live on a Spanish-speaking island and my wife is native here so we speak to Coco in Spanish hence all of the Spanish nicknames.
As he’s a black cat we call him negro, negrito, lindo (meaning cute) and my wife calls him Cocipoo.
Oh yes! And I call him Cocito sometimes too…
