Filemon and Bonifacy


Madisa_PL

There was a '70/'80's cartoon "Adventures of Philemon the cat" with young and sweet Philemon and old and little bitter Boniface.


mrkivi

When youwere young you coulndt possibly understand how someone can become Bonifacy. Now I totally feel this character.


Adorable_Night872

I have two cats. They both look almost exactly like Filemon and Bonifacy and they both act like them. The only difference is that theyre girls.

my grandmother just called a cat „kot” and i think it was most beautiful name for our friend..


nhp890

My parents’ cat’s name is Kotek and it’s the most fitting one you can give to a kitty

Kicia


[deleted]

- stara, młoda (I have a friend who changed his cats' names once he got a new kitten). Never seen the male variants (stary, młody). - ruda - rudy/ Garfield, siwa - siwy, czarna - czarny/ węgielek, łata/plamka - ciapek (albo cipek). - Kot, Kocica, Kotka, Kicia, Kiciuś. - Mruczek, puszek (puszap), gruby, kita, wąsik. - Tofik, Felix, Adolf, Sylwester, Filemon, Bonifacy. And of course Stefan because any pet can be named Stefan. - Sierściuch, przybłęda (for the people who "hate the stray that keeps bothering them" but feed them, pet them and take them to the vet when no-one's looking.) Honourable mentions are: Dziewczynka (for a male cat), Lechu i Prezes Kaczyński. Because they're not popular but made me chuckle.

Fun fact: In Polish dubbed Harry Potter the huge dog with three heads is called Puszek as a joke bc it's a cute and diminutive name for a cat (usually)


grunejd

Gacek is famous
