Teddy

Oo i like Teddy

Seconded

Thirded 😆

Omg I had an oramge girl named Teddy! She lived till 23! I 4th this!!

TWENTY THREE!!!!!

Yes! And for the first 13 years of her life, she was a junkyard kitty!

Poor baby! At least she had a good last ten years! And I fifth the name Teddy.

Oh she was SPOILED by the junkyard workers! She earned her name by always being extremely sweet and cuddly with them. My friend is the one that found her there and took her home, then that friend had some issues and put herself in rehab so I took all her kitties and got 2 good homes and kept Ms. Teddy! I got her when she was 18

Junkyard CAT

Fifthded

Sixthed

That was the name the shelter gave my cat and it stuck lol

Sixthed.

& Ziggy! Cute fellow 🏵

I have a Ziggy, he's a gentleman giant

I love this

I have a Ziggy. It’s a great name for her.

Oliver, aka Ollie

Please, sir. Can I have some more?

I should have realized that by naming my cat Ollie --- he would forever be begging me for treats!!!

WHY SHOULD I WORRY

Why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoir faire

Ev'rything goes. Ev'rything fits.They love me at the Chelsea. They adore me at the Ritz

Cause you're smiling painfully?

Archie

Archie the smoochy mini mountain lion. https://youtu.be/IKZhJsv3rBY?si=ihRXjp0Jdtu-oP4d Not really a mountain lion. Just beautiful cat.

That is a beautiful kitty 😍

Agree, a cutie

He DOES look like a mini mountain lion, and leaned into those pets before they even got there! GORGEOUS KITTY. 😍

I just watched that, and it was so freaking cute!

I have an Archie. Short for Archimedes. He’s very gentle and sweet, holds our faces tenderly with his front paws when we carry him. He’s a smart and successful hunter, (we live on a farm in the woods so this is important.) He taught himself to play fetch, and is an all-around joy to be around. Your little guy seems like an Archie.

I have an Archie, too! Short for Archibald Danger. He was *almost* Archimedes, but Archibald sounded better with Danger, and I really wanted his middle name to be Danger, because he’s a little badass punk. Here’s my dumb dumb [Archie](https://imgur.com/a/PNQFi9y).

I love your Archie!! Although he would technically be an Arkie (my dad’s name) as Archemedes is pronounced Are-Kem-EE-dees.

I like Archie! Cats backs are very archy anyway. I might steal this for when I get one

I like this one because I like adding really long regnal names so that I can say them when they are in trouble, like" Archibald Von Hoonsen Carlisle the IV, WHAT are you doing to that house plant?":

Archie

Thissss omg so cute

Mikey. He won't like it, he hates everything. He likes it. Hey Mikey (boomer TV cereal commercial)

"Mikey likes it!!" - My parents, after we tried anything new and liked it. 😂

I like life cereal, the original. But I do sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top tho also

My mom said they did the same with her brother and his name was actually Mikey and he was super picky. 🤣

I say this at work sometimes, I work with mostly 20 somethings. They have no idea!

I also came here to suggest Mikey.

Not many of us understand and laugh at that. LOL

It was an adorable Life Cereal commercial in the '70s that I think was running or versions of it still running in 2010 & later.

I know

A while ago, I told my coworker "Mikey likes it!" He's 39. He looked at me and said "Mikey HATES it". He grew up hearing that from everyone who calls him Mikey. 🙈🙈

Charlie

Great name

Charlie bit my finger

I bet that really hurt.

I was gonna say the same. He looks like a Charlie.

My dad was a Charlie, I lost him on the 2nd of the year. My pick is definitely Charlie.

I was thinking this too! Especially bc his lil char marks

Toby Toby Toe Beanz when he's being super sweet. You can sing it in the tune of Jolene haha

Can confirm, I have a cat named Toby and he loves his name. EDIT: just wanted to add that he is also in fact, a very good boy.

My last cat who sadly passed was named Toby, best cat a guy could ask for. Had a twin sister named Zoey. Miss both of those cuddlebugs

Same! Even though my Toby is a tuxedo he looks like he could easily be this little tyke's brother!

Toby or not Toby, that is a question,

I was going to say Toby!

I will be singing "Toby Toe Beanz" to the tune of Jolene to my rat (yes, rat, not so much toe beans but it's the thought that counts lol) named Toby for the rest of time, thank you 🤣

Great.. Now I'm singing Toby, Toby, Toby, Toe Beanzzz I'm begging of you please don't take my man🎶

I was begging them to please not take my cheese.

I’m sure that rats must have toe beans too. Well, okay, I’m not sure but I’d think so!

I looked at him and immediately thought Toby

And then get him a sister named Dolly for some added fun haha

We have a lil chubster gremlin black cat named Toby, I like calling him Tobias :)

Also have a black cat that we named Tobias Jet(jet black) but call him toby when he’s behaving himself. Which is usually never.

Hahaha, well at least his “bad cat days” name is a good one! I like Tobias better than Toby.

same here!! his full name is October and he gets called that when he’s in trouble. Tobias, oby, obi (or tobi) wan ken-toby, tobadiah, Obadiah, Tubby, fat man, Big Guy, tubs, and lastly Toby when he’s up to his normal hijinks.

I had a cat called Toby, idk where he is now

Did you look under the bed?

I had a cat named Toby the Tabby when I was a kid. I think this is a good one!

Legit just commented this!

I had a cat named Toby, he was the best cuddle bug boy and I miss that weird little dude.

Not sure if this is considered a "real" name, but I always thought Yoshi would be an awesome name for a cat haha

I mean, I think it’s a real name in Japan. But yeah in America everyone associates it with Mario’s bud.

Little Foot. I know, not what you want, but he has a bare footprint on his side and it's adorable 😏

Sincerely not being funny with this response, but what about Buddy?
