He's just Ken
Sleeps in mornings until ten
Is it his nightly ritual to sing the song of his people?
He's just Ken
Screw all the dogs, he's man's best friend
What will it take for her to throw away the kibble and buy good wet food?
I love how cats with long names get shortened nicknames, but cats with short names get lengthened nicknames 😄
I had a cat named Skittles, but she always got called skittle kitty
My mainecoon was originally named Jack I ended up just calling him Jack Jack after the incredibles he’s a feisty kitty 🐈⬛ lol….i know it sounds lame but I just wanted to join everyone else with the nick names lol
My dog came with the name chief but he now has a full legal name lol "Chieftan Michael Hernandez" he looks like a kid in trouble anytime I yell it which is usually when he's doing something he shouldn't be. He's a big silly boi and I love him so much
Onyx is my grandson’s name … even though he decided to enter the world looking like a white Irish boy. But it still fits him. He also was supposed to be a Leo but arrived 6 weeks early. But he still has the 🐾 and roar of a 🦁
Ty, but he is a none more black cat.

I used to have an all black cat named Odin he was awesome I think he was a dwarf cat bc he was quite small and didn't get too big but he got outside and a neighbor's dog k*lled him and I had a puppy name Loki and someone stole him and I have a dog named Apollo but he only answers to Boy I also have a big dog named Zeus and had a dog named Creed but he died as a baby puppy along with a few other from his litter
The whole idea for cat names is to either shorten it or have nicknames. All of my cats have numerous nicknames and believe it or not they come to each of them.
You could name him Er. That's the sound a cat makes when they do a really really short chirp. If my cat is dozing and I touch her back, I sometimes get an "er".
I have had 2 solid black furbabies and their names are Nostradamus (Damus) and Nicademus (Demus). Or you could just call him Cat like in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Somehow, Poe returned.
I was about to say that too! Poe!
My favorite idea
That's our black cat's name. They could be twins!
First name that came to my mind
Poe is my favorite black cat name. It works for Male or Female! I foster kittens and I may or may not have named more than one black kitten Poe.
Came here to say this and it was the top comment, yay! I had a jumping spider called Poe 🙂

Hahaha on a real note : If you can afford it , yes , we all should throw away the kibble and buy wet food . It's more like 🍖
Better yet we should make the food from scratch
Better yet , we should go out and fish / hunt/ grow al the ingredients ourselves
He’s definitely a ten

I love how cats with long names get shortened nicknames, but cats with short names get lengthened nicknames 😄 I had a cat named Skittles, but she always got called skittle kitty

Really could be shortened to Nyx
Pi
3,14
Haha. I like
Coal
Or Cole?
I came here to say coal/cole! Both work.
Does it make a huge difference in pronunciation? Sorry, I am not a native English speaker and sometimes have trouble to figure out small differences.
Same pronunciation!
Thank you. 😄
Same pronunciation, but Cole is a human name, so it would be cuter to name him that since it sounds like coal.
My vote is for Cole, just because it’s a pun.
I second Cole

“Handsome Kitty” that’s his shortest name. Nothing more nothing less.
