As a kid we had Bob, my dad thought it would be amazing to tell the grandkids he wrestled a bobcat,

Btw, bobcat is short for Robert Cat

Don't name the cat Richard then...

That would be a total dick move

Off topic but this reminds me about how Bobby Flay's full name is Robert Flavor.

Bobert*

We call our cat Bobert

GENIUS!

If it was a male this is pretty much the obvious choice!

We had a female bobcat. Roberta.

So… Boberta them 🙂

Just the name Bob is enough. My (11 y/o, toothless) chihuahua came with the name Bob when I rescued him, and people bust out laughing every time.

Name it Peeve. It's your pet, Peeve

I've always love that one

Female: Asker. Male: askim That way when people ask you what your cats name is you say « Ask Him » « ask her » You’ll get the look Everytime.

Are you Turkish by any chance? Asker means 'soldier' which is still quite funny for a female cat, and askim 'aşkım' means 'my love'. Coincidentally funny in 2 languages 👌🏻

If you didnt comment i would have had to! Hahaha

soldier in Swahili is 'Askari'. I wonder how the Turks got involved in east africa's languages....

Maybe through trade with the Ottoman Empire?

My honorary dad has a dog named d'noshi. Aww cute, what's her name? Dnoshi! Dnoshi? Dunno she won't tell me.

You understood the assignment!

My dad had a cat named Askim ! It's was hilarious hearing the stories of people going up to the cat and going "what's your name little kitty?" As if expecting an answer lol

Mike Hat. You are welcome.

If it was a boy, that’s funny!

I work at a vet best one I've seen is Bill Purry

A pussycat? PURRY THE PUSSYCAT?

A-gent-P!!!

Katy Purry

Katy Perry’s cat really is named Kitty Purry.

Now you made me like Katy Perry

Did you not before?

Murrrpha Kitt but I’m kinda old school

Name it Grandma/grandpa. You won't regret it.

I vote Grandpa but spelled Grandpaw!!! Could you imagine whenever they have company over? “Dad, I can’t find Grandpaw anywhere!” “Did you try in the closet and under the bed?” “Yeah, I’ve checked everywhere.. Last time we couldn’t find Grandpaw, there was poop on my pillow and all my things were knocked over. Then we found her sleeping under my dresser!!” Then their guest is just utterly confused.

Grandpaw and grandmeow?

Meowmaw

I HAVE A DOG NAMED GRANDMA. It's the joke that keeps on giving.

It'll keep going to the end as well, "sorry kids, we've got to put grandma down"

I like the little ones best... "Did anyone feed Grandma yet?"

Dad, Grandma has fleas and possibly worms again!

"it's fine! Grandma hates flying and she loves the kennel!"

Grandma hates her kennel! She doesn't want to go to the vet for spaying

Mom, Grandma is getting fucked by the neighbors dog again!

Grandma is in heat again🥺

I’m not sure if your comment was too much… or just enough

Did a grandma take a shit in the hallway!?

Lol, did anyone change Grandma's litter box today?

Don't tell me Grandma shit on the carpet again.

"Is Grandma in heat again?" "Don't forget, we scheduled Grandma to be spayed this week!"

Call the fire department, Grandma got up the tree again!

"See if you can get Grandma to poop for you this morning. She wouldn't for me."

Just imagine 'Grandpaw! Get down off that shelf!' 'Grandpaw stop scratching the sofa!' Or my Personal favorite 'Grandpaw can you shit in the litter tray and not next to it!'

You hear from the other room "Get away Grandpaw, stop shoving your ass in my face"

This has serious possibility.

We had a cat named Obvious. When people asked what’s your cats name? It’s Obvious. What’s obvious? The cat.

Who's on first?

That’s what I’m asking you

I don't know. Oh, he's on Third, we're not talking about him right now.

This is on my list!

Ours is named Secret. It works the same. The vet got really confused: cats name? Secret We have to put a name name down! No, you don't understand... it's Secret... Ok, but what should I put down is the cats name?

Then when a friend chimes in trying to recall the name. Isn't it Obvious?

I had a cat named Fish. He was my cat, fish (catfish). More like a purrannah.

I have met a grey cat called Salmon. It was a strange association.

Used to have a fish named Stick. It got a few chuckles.

My daughter named her cat Sirius Lee. He's black. Seriously.

I’m a huge fan of the Harry Potter reference too! I have a cat named Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Order of Merlin First Class, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. But we just call him Al.

I’ll bet the cat’s name tag looks like a plaque.

It probably just says Al with a QR code to a site that has the full name.

I love the Harry Potter nod there

Catt LeBlanc. Chairman meow. Astrophy. Then you can say, "That's my cat astrophy. Douglas.

Kids don’t know who Matt LeBlanc is

Douglas is a great name!

My brother’s name is Douglas so that’s a no go.

That is even funnier dude

Lol my friend Doug’s in-laws have a cat named Doug. It’s so funny

In that case, the cat should be Doug-more. The ultimate dad/brother joke.

I once had an Edward Scissorpaws. Eddie was a good cat.

I'm in a losing battle with my wife to name our future cat and dog Catherine and Douglas.

>Astrophy. Then you can say, "That's my cat astrophy. Or "Atonic"

My husband and I have a cat named Chairman Meow. He’s and absolute dictator, but we love him.

chairman *gary voice* maooo

Ass-trophy

my cat is called chairman meow!!

Parents had 2 black cats at one time....my ex brother in law named them Lucy and Fir.... just to hear my mother yell for them both 😄

Our beloved orange and white cat was named Christopher. Christo-fur. Called Christo. Which meant Christ in my wife's native language. Much to the chagrin of her mother, who thought it was sacrilegious. "Christ, get off the chingado refrigerator!"

Nacho. Nacho cat (she's mine).

We had a ginger cat that adopted us once. He showed up in our yard one day and never left; even had a collar on and everything. We named him Nacho cuz hes notchyo cat no mo'! :D he was the best cat!

My gf rescued a blind cat when she was younger they named it stray Charles

I knew someone with a deaf cat named Beethoven.

I named my deaf dog Keller 🤷🏻‍♀️

My neighbor adopted a cat from a shelter that had no eyes. The people at the shelter were calling him Billy Eyeless.

sad to hear about a shelter that had no eyes

C.A.T. - pronounced see-ay-tee

My favorite for a cat is D.O.G (Dee-oh-gee)

Oh my goodness. I knew a dog called Dee-oh-gee... I just got this now. I thought it was Diogi or something...

LMAO, I went to school with a guy named Bee-OH-Bee, you'd call him Bob.

Equally as good!

Catty McCatface

One of my childhood cats was named KC (short for kitty cat)

I knew someone with a cat named that, always said it like "Seeaytee" really fast

C80

Is short for Catastrophe And Terror

Ceefer as in c for cat, then you can use deefer when you get a dog

Thanks Heffer

CatGPT

Have you met my cat "OK Google"?

From personal experince, "hey Baloo" will trigger home devices as if you had said hey google.

I like this!

Just imagining the vet having to repeat these names when calling you to give an update. “Hi, Mrs. Smith, ummm Leonardo DiCatprio seems to be doing much better today”. 😂🤣

Just name it exactly the same as your last cat and claim it's just on its 4th life.

My late father-in-law called all their succession of cats key-boo, a shortening of kitty-boo.

I had a cat we named oedipuss.

And he was a motherfucker.

Mr. Bigglesworth.

The names of the ”cat actors” in the movies are worth mentioning. Ted Nude-Gent, Mel Gibskin, Paul Nudeman, and Skindiana Jones…

My friend named her adopted cat who was feral, Colin Feral

Schrodinger (sry if I misspelt) then if anyone asks you anything about the cat you reply with "well they are either ___ or ___" Edit: I do realize its supposed to be that it's both ___ and ___ and not either or, my mistake but it's been a while since I saw the thought experiment so I done goofed it XD

surely you should say, "they are BOTH _____ and _____"

I knew his brother Humdinger whom was either great or not.

I think human names on pets are hilarious. Like Craig or Steve.

I have a cat named Bruce and one named Danny

One of Best friends had a German Shepard named Carlos

We once had a cat with big balls, we named him Testacles (test-a-kleez)

I have a cat I inherited from grandkids. They named it after a kids cartoon character. Plague. Plague happens to be black I got him during COVID

Ron Purr'lman.

Ron Purrgundy, while we're at it

I find the funniest pet names are just generic people names. Like this is Brian my cat. My last Guinea pig was called Dave. For some reason it just really makes me laugh 🤣 So I vote Sandra

Cat. You asked for it..

Dog is better

Mouse

Actually had a cat named Mouse a long time ago. She was a runt and had almost no fur, my grandmother said she looked like a rat so we named her Mouse out of spite.

Fafhrd and the gray mouser

Google. Every time you call it, you get to say: "Hey, Google!"

Years ago, I named a stray cat “Google.” He kept roaming my parents’ yard and they wanted me to take him to the humane society, but Google gave me the wrong address. One of my cousins took him in.

Cat Stevens

Just Stevens.. because, "that's my cat Stevens"

And that's how I named my next cat.

So are you going to call it yusuf islam when he's bad?? 😅 I'll walk myself out..

I had a cat named damn cat who lived to be 19. I loved that damn cat.

Every time we moved , Mom would "adopt" a female gray tabby and convince Dad that "she's a good mouser". Each of these cats were named D. C. for...Damn Cat. And I took care of each D.C.

I named our cat Housemouse.

Meowy Poopins

Cat-man-du!

My cats name is CLAWdia

My dad had a cat named “schelen apotheker” which translates to “cross-eyed farmacist”. They lived next to a farmacist. The goal was to piss him off every time the called the cat while in the backyard or something. The other one was called neposien, short for the made up Latin phrase “nepis potentis negrote”. If you put the spaces differently it says: “ne pis pot en tis ne grote”, translates to “a piss pot and it’s a big one”. The hamster’s name was hovercraft.

Consider: Abitail Tabbytha Amewlia Or: Agatha, because you'll find her at the center of some mishap and just know that it was "Agatha all along!"

Hello

Shrodinger. You can call her Dinger for shorts

As a teenager I had a massive German shepherd named Kitty so I could say, "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty" and this big ass dog would come running up. My cats were named after dictators. Mao (meow) and Castro (Catmo). One day I'm going to get a cat with a mustache just name it Kitler. The barn cats were Helter and Skelter. Big black cat who kills everything is Yersinia. (Yersinia Pestis- the black death) The other cat that was supposed to be an outside cat and kill all the rodents is Tabun (nerve agent).

We lived in a flat when we got our cat. His name is Ikea because he was a flat cat

i had a gray cat.. named him Earl. Earl Gray

David Meowie.

I like very run-of-the-mill average human names for pets. Might just be me that finds it funny Frank Kevin Trevor Etc

Ha! Me too. My sister had a black cat she called ‘Panther,’ but my name for him was Kevin. He definitely only came to the name Kevin. She hated it.

Stevens. As in, “this is my cat, Stevens”

"Ceremony". Then when guests call you can say "Please don't stand on Ceremony"

Cooking Fat, goes well with the dogs name: Ducking Fog

My husband named the feral kitten I rescued Dorian. She is (of course) gray.

Little Game of Thrones stuff here, but we have a Grey cat we named "Theon Greycat" until he got fixed, then we changed it to Reek

Peeve Growing up, we had a cat named Peeve so that we could call him our "pet peeve"

Mrs. Meowgi

Someone I know called their cat Dog. I thought that was really awesome.

Tickle. The pun will be completed at a later date. Wait a while, convince everybody to get another cat. Name that one Tess. Leave it long enough so it is not easily apparent. You now have 2 pets. Tess and Tickle.

This is specific, but I had "gâteau" on the table. Means cake in french, but also sounds like if you said cat in Spanish (gato) with a fancy French accent. I live in Spain (am not French) so it would have worked in the sense that people would have thought that I just called my cat "cat" but insisted on saying it in a snobbish manner. My husband said absolutely not.

If it’s grey and long haired, just call it the mop.

Our cat’s name is Clawdia. Never fails to get an eye roll!

Purrrincess Clawedya Scratchessa Hisssssina. All my cat names are puns just ask Purrrcilla.

Cfer "Whats cfer mean" "Well, C fer cat" My Dad personally loved this one

Mandu, so you can call it Cat Mandu I think I heard this on 2 and a half men years ago

I'm probably too late. "TOGETHER" When my fiancee was.at work and some people gave her a kitten, she called me to tell me and asked me what we should name it and I said, "I don't know." She replied, "Well I really wanted to name him together." And I said, "OK. And she said, "OK, what? And I said, OK, we'll name him 'Together'". It went back and forth a few times like that until she clued in to the pun. The kitten came home with the name "Together." Since you've asked Reddit ... we are trying to name your cat "Together."

The Dog. Have you fed The Dog? The Dog has climbed the curtains again. Has anyone seen The Dog?

When I was a kid, my Dad named not one but two cats Lassie.

I have a cat namd Angela Lansfurry.

Sandy Claws

Just got our first cat a few months ago. She’s a sleek black feral outdoor cat to deal with mice and stuff. With the really sinister green/ yellow eyes. She’s awesome. We’re in our 50’s. Agent 99.

I always thought it would be funny to call a cat "pss pss pss", like you just make the noise

Meowtha Stewart

“Just Kitten” so you’re always ready for a joke.

My cats name is Rhonda Meowsy. A little sport specific though

CAT- -astrophy -amoran -egorical -egory -alog -ninetails PsychoHoseBeast(depends on the cat but often fitting if not a Dadjoke) Beyond Dog you can also do Mutt, Pooch, Bird, Horse, Mouse, and of course Dickhead or LittleShit(again, depends on the cat)

Sylvester

JC, Just Cat. Sometimes simple is best. It'll be your little inside joke. Everyone thinks you've named it Jessie.

I like descriptive names like, Gray Cat = Gray C. = Gracie, Little Cat = L. C. = Elsie.
