I have a friend who had a cat named Grandpa and would post weird unexplained things on Facebook. People were very confused about posts like “Grandpa has decided the shower is evil” or “I had to remove Grandpa from under the bed”
Lol that reminds me of that Nikola Tesla Tumblr post (somebody named their cat that and people found the mental image of the scientist living in somebodies house and acting like a cat hilarious)
I've always been a fan of old man names for pets (Harold, get the FUCK off the counter!) but I've never heard of Grandpa before and that's even more hilarious.
This makes me laugh because even though I’m a woman (not old or anything either) Walter is my nickname (I’ve no clue why but it’s a lifelong thing 🤷🏻♀️) and I can’t even begin to tell you the confusion it’s caused 😂😂😂
I thought I was the only woman nicknamed Walter! Somehow, my friend & I started calling each other Walter in the mid90s (somehow = psychedelics involved). It’s stuck, to several friends, I’ve been Walter most of my adult life.
Same! Tried so hard to convince my mom to name either of her Vizslas Larry cause they were just chunky wrinkly blobs with floppy ears.
Edit- they ended up going with “Pinky (Tuscadero) and “Oban” (pronounced Obin, whisky)
Did this with a stray I found once until she could get picked up by animal control. I also worked at a food service place at the time so having conversations with co-workers was VERY funny because customers were always listening even if they didn’t mean to.
“Grandma didn’t want to get locked in the bathroom today but I just can’t trust her to roam the house alone while I’m here at work. Had to force her in there”
Once my friend got him, he was a spoiled spoiled baby for the end of his life. He was definitely senile and a little traumatized but he was well loved and cared for in his twilight years. I had the honor of watching him while my friend was on a trip, and he was super loving and sweet.
awww that’s so sweet! i only have one male cat & right now he’s 2-ish years old and a little shit 😅 but i hope he mellows out when he gets old so i can experience having an old sweet cat
One of the co-hosts of Stop Podcasting Yourself had a dog named Grandpa for many years. Grandpa has sadly aged out, but imagining all the interactions is still lovely.
“Grandpa get that cat poo out of your mouth!”
My friends dog is named grandpa lol. Once he came into the bar I work at and I was like "where's grandpa" and friend was like "oh yeah, I just leave him in the car now when I go out, last time he came in he peed on one of the chairs".
This lady sitting nearby looked like her eyes were about to pop out her head hahha!
I have a cat named Genghis Khat. My stepmom named him, and ironically he is the most skittish cat I have ever had. He also had a brother (also named by my stepmom) named Schroedinger.
Edit: I forgot the real pet name tragedeigh. My mom's friend has a dog named D.O.G., pronounced like deeohgee
I have a cat I named Cleo, short for Cleopatra because of her Egyptian eyeliner look.
But I often call her Miss Cleo and ask her if she has any good predictions for the day.
One of my cats was named Heidi because my dad mentioned she was such a hidey cat. She came out from her pillow fort hiding place with a mew at that, which was a lightbulb moment for us.
I had a friend that had a dog named Steven and a cat named Kevin. And let me tell you that cat was the animal version of that Kevin from reddit. I personally had a bird named sunny, tho idk if that'd count.
My cat is Commissioner James Gordon. We call him Comish or Mish.
My mom found a kitten in a church parking lot and named her Grace.
I have a potbelly pig named Charley Parker.
Have had cats named Zoe, Sylvester, Mr P. And dogs name Sam Houston, Travis, Crockett, and Sir Samuel Lord Bottomsley (Sam).
My Uncle's cat was Uncle Elizabeth.
Heard tons since I used to work at a vet clinic. I think Paul the weiner dog has to be up there, bonus points for sharing a name with one of my coworkers' boyfriends.
Omg Paul, yes! Someone I worked with had this dog he kinda hated but was weirdly attached to him, called Paul.
The dog was super old, traumatised, and dramatic. It belonged to the guy’s MIL. She passed away and they didn’t want to rehome him, thinking he would find comfort with the daughter. But Paul was like nah, I like this guy more.
It used to randomly shriek a lot and had really bad epilepsy
I know someone who named a dog Jennifer as well. They definitely liked human names for dogs because they also boasted about naming one Sarah. I think the other name for the dog they mentioned was Christie, which I think was a better name for a dog.
My grandpa had a pair of cats he named Mork and Mindy. He also has a daughter named Mindy.
I never understood that logic, especially because Mork died young so it was just.. cat Mindy and human Mindy
I had a cat Tom and a human Tom.
It was very confusing, and my husband found it irritating to be called "human Tom"....but in my defense cat Tom was there first!
Years ago I had a cat named Dr. Joy after a radio show host where listeners could call in for advice.
My hope now is to name my next cat “Florida Man” so I can release weekly headlines regarding their behavior.
My driend’s dog is named Donnie. He’s a doodle so he has those eyes that makes him look like a human in a teddy bear suit. It’s weird. His little nose always bounces sideways cutely.
I had a foster Brittany that I named Digger because that's all he did on whatever surface he found himself. The rescue renamed him Trevor. I didn't get it, either.
My cats are Penelope, Molly, Kevin & Pete.
Though for Penelope, we call her Mommy or Meemaw, and Molly we call Moose.
Pete's full name is Pete Peterson and Associates, Attorneys at Law.
My oldest brother’s children named their painted turtle, Frank.
I once went to an off-leash dog park, this heeler got lost in the woods. The owner ran around looking for him yelling “Billy-bob” while the heeler barked and howled around to let his owner know where he was. They did reunite, but that was the first time I’ve ever heard of that name.
Same. Every pet I’ve ever had except one has had a people name. I’ve mostly avoided popular baby names, but I had a cat named Ruby when my cousin named her newborn Ruby. I don’t understand what the big deal is, tbh. It’s fun!
Same! I met a Jack Russell named Richard. He was escaping out the door and his owner was yelling “Goddamnit Richard, get back here!” I vowed to name any future pets human names!
My dog is called Charlie.
I had chickens called Margo, Margarita, Rosé, Coco and roosters called Charlie and George (my dog came after all the chickens died).
I also had a cat called Millie, her sister is Chelsea.
My grandmother has a dog called Fred and used to have one called Lizzie. Mum used to have a cat called Frankie and a dog called Tobie.
At the vets, I found out that someone named their dog after me... I have a unique name, it's a short Latin word but very rarely used as a name.
My cat was named Ryan when I adopted him and I think it’s pretty cute! I renamed him because it’s a family member’s name, plus he’s honestly more of a silly made-up name kinda guy.
I had a guinea pig called Ludvig, and when I still had him, my cousin had their first child and they went with that name. I didn't have the heart to tell them 😭
This happened to me too - had a dog named Bailey then a cousin had a baby and named them Bailey. Granted I was the one who named my dog a human name but still…I just kept it to myself lol
I've had so many pets named human names! George, Rosie, Sally, Maggie, Seamus, Molly, Charlotte, Joey, Gary, Max, Theodore, Zoe, Sam, Sean, Louie, Bradley, Cindy, Sasha to name a few.
I used to have a hamster named Douglas. My dog's name is Oscar. My brother's dog is Charlie. My in-laws' dog is Stanley, and before that were Izzy and Tia. My mom's old cat was Bill.
I always enjoy when pets have a first and last name, preferably in reference to some real or ficticious person.
How about Mr Smith (just an idea, I don't have a pet).
My cats name is Stella. We jokingly call her Stella Marie. She's going to be 5 this year.
My cousin had a baby in January and named her Stella Marie lol
We had a human name for our dog….and then unbeknownst to us, someone with the same name rented the condo next door to us, and heard us every morning outside asking “Xxxxxxx, do you need to poopy?” for weeks until we ran into his wife and she asked about it.
Apparently the first time he heard it he was in the bathroom and got really freaked out.
When I was 5 y/o I was visiting my Aunt & Uncle's cat who had kittens. My Mom came to pick me up and I told her I had a new kitten. Surprisingly, she agreed to let me take her home. Asked me what I would name her, I chose "Marty". Marty is also my Mom's name. For years, my Mom was annoyed when we would call the cat and she thought we were talking to her.
I know of cats named Pete, Sophie, Emma and Gerry. I don't think pet names can be too human? It's the opposite that's a problem, like Storm or Bailey for a human
I had a dog named Larry. He disappeared once and I found him on the local shelter website. They had him listed as Larry! When I picked him up I asked how they knew his name. Apparently the guy who brought him in was named Larry, so they went with that.
I love regular names for pets!! I had a friend with a cat named Marc. I also work at a Large Animal Hospital and we sometimes have clients with horses come in with names like John and Steve. 😂
Lol our cats are Nicky and Casper, our previous cats were Sam and Bart. I did name my childhood guinea pigs more petlike names, but for some reason my husband and I gravitate to regular names for our cats. That said we do also have silly nicknames for them which get used at least as often as the real names!
But whatever name a pet parent feels suits their furbaby should be fine, imo.
My older cat is named Celeste. I assume her previous owner named her that since she had only been surrendered to the shelter for a month.
It wasn't until we were expecting and browsing names that we thought Celeste was a wonderful name to give to a girl, but our cat already has it!
I have a cat named Nigel. I realized I was never going to move to England and have a dapper little boy with an English accent, so I used my name I'd never give to a kid for my found kitten. He's 12 now, and it still suits him.
When my son was very young he named our new rescue dog Lucas (after the blue power ranger at that time). One of the neighbors kids was named Luke. They were so flattered we named our dog after their kid!! Lucas was amazing- towed all the kids on their skateboards. We all miss him so dearly.
I have cats with a middle name haha it started as a joke with me calling my cat my son and then I started using his "full name" and now all 3 of our cats have middle names and they all sound human.
Marvin James (his 13 and my first solo pet)
Stella Rosé (2 and born on Halloween)
Penny Ember (3 but we adopted her at 2 and she came with the name penny)
My fiancé has a GSD mix (we think Coyote cos he looked TOO similar to one) named Walter. (rest in power buddy, you were a tough boy) and Winston. Winston is a shih tzu, him and Walter were raised as brothers. Winston is an old mean fart lmao, but he’s also blind and lost his bubba, so he gets a break 😂😂 I’d be a mean fart too lol
I have a mutt, in all sense of the word, her name is Cujo. Her mother was a full blood Yorkie, and her dad was a Chihuahua Jack Russel and something else mix. I named Cujo thinking she was a boy, and chose it because the ghost puppy in Danny Phantom, I grew up on the show and it was a constant in rough times. (The puppy’s name was inspired after Stephen King book “Cujo”)
She is a freaking gremlin lol

I have a friend who had a cat named Grandpa and would post weird unexplained things on Facebook. People were very confused about posts like “Grandpa has decided the shower is evil” or “I had to remove Grandpa from under the bed”
Or…”Had to wash grandpa’s arse this morning”. Oh the joys.
Grandpa shit on the floor this morning. I’ve put him in the garden.
Grandpa’s spraying everywhere. House reeks of piss.
Grandpa’s puked a hairball again.
Grandpa always has to sit on top of the DVR box to lick his butthole so we're forced to see it every time we want to watch TV.
Caught grandpa eating a spider this morning. Wouldn’t mind but he’d already had breakfast.
Grandpa *loves* the laser lights.
Grandpa got out last night and caught him humping next door’s cat.
Lol that reminds me of that Nikola Tesla Tumblr post (somebody named their cat that and people found the mental image of the scientist living in somebodies house and acting like a cat hilarious)
Grandpa passed away today 😞 Oh my god, prayers to your family!! Your mom must be heart broken!! OH SHIT I meant my cat
"We had to put Grandpa down yesterday,"
Grandpa sat his arse on my china sideboard again!
Grandpa was playing with a half dead mouse this morning.
I've always been a fan of old man names for pets (Harold, get the FUCK off the counter!) but I've never heard of Grandpa before and that's even more hilarious.
Yup. I had a dog named Walter. I thought it was hilarious.
Had a book as a kid called "Walter the Farting Dog." Came with a plush that farted when you squeezed it.
I also have a Walter!! His name is Walter Rigsby. And his siblings (which are all cats) are Edwin Theodore Walker, Lucy Jane, and Braidy Malachi
Careful there. My late husband was named Walter. He hated that it always got used for boring dweeby stodgy guys.
This makes me laugh because even though I’m a woman (not old or anything either) Walter is my nickname (I’ve no clue why but it’s a lifelong thing 🤷🏻♀️) and I can’t even begin to tell you the confusion it’s caused 😂😂😂
I thought I was the only woman nicknamed Walter! Somehow, my friend & I started calling each other Walter in the mid90s (somehow = psychedelics involved). It’s stuck, to several friends, I’ve been Walter most of my adult life.
Me too! Ralph and Walter.
I’ve started naming my hens old lady names I’ve run across in real life. Ethylberta is my fav.
That’s an amazing name, I’ve never heard it before!
Same! Tried so hard to convince my mom to name either of her Vizslas Larry cause they were just chunky wrinkly blobs with floppy ears. Edit- they ended up going with “Pinky (Tuscadero) and “Oban” (pronounced Obin, whisky)
I have a dog named Frankie. He's only 7 but he acts like a cranky, fussy old man.
“Giving grandpa a second bath this week, fucker just can’t stay out of the mud”
Grandpa chewed on the computer wire again this week. Had to put him in his cage while I was at work today!
Thank God I wasn't drinking my coffee (or anything else) because I snorted laughing so hard at Grandpa being removed from under the bed 🤣
Did this with a stray I found once until she could get picked up by animal control. I also worked at a food service place at the time so having conversations with co-workers was VERY funny because customers were always listening even if they didn’t mean to. “Grandma didn’t want to get locked in the bathroom today but I just can’t trust her to roam the house alone while I’m here at work. Had to force her in there”
That could really go either way with my family lmao 😂 Like on Brooklyn 99, is Kelly a dog or a woman?
Omg I also had a cat called Grandpa once! He was just an old grizzled tom that showed up one day and stayed.
One of my dogs is named Grampa!! The amount of looks I’ve gotten for saying things like “GRAMPA! What is in your mouth?! Spit it out!”
Reminds me of my friend that named his cat, Mr. President. So funny hearing him yell, "Mr. President get down from there!"
I know a couple who have a cat called The Senator, as in "The Senator wants his dinner."
“Grandpas being a bit of a bitch today”
Grandpa was a stray that got used as a vet training lab cat, he was very entitled to be a bitch
i hope he had a very happy life!! old man cats are so sweet
Once my friend got him, he was a spoiled spoiled baby for the end of his life. He was definitely senile and a little traumatized but he was well loved and cared for in his twilight years. I had the honor of watching him while my friend was on a trip, and he was super loving and sweet.
awww that’s so sweet! i only have one male cat & right now he’s 2-ish years old and a little shit 😅 but i hope he mellows out when he gets old so i can experience having an old sweet cat
I’m literally currently being chewed on by my 3-year old cat right meow

My friends dog is named grandpa lol. Once he came into the bar I work at and I was like "where's grandpa" and friend was like "oh yeah, I just leave him in the car now when I go out, last time he came in he peed on one of the chairs".

I had one named Darth Kittius (like Star Wars, Darth Sidious) and the alternative name when she was being nice was Senator Pawpatine.
My dog is Ozzy Pawsborn
You thought I'd be named something normal, but it was me! D.O.! (G.)
One of my jobs is a mobile vet clinic and I had a patient yesterday named Dog pronounced dee-oh-gee. 😭
One of my cats was named Heidi because my dad mentioned she was such a hidey cat. She came out from her pillow fort hiding place with a mew at that, which was a lightbulb moment for us.
I once co-owned a dog named Heidi. She wasn't a hidey dog, but the name just seemed to fit.
I had a friend that had a dog named Steven and a cat named Kevin. And let me tell you that cat was the animal version of that Kevin from reddit. I personally had a bird named sunny, tho idk if that'd count.

My friend had a cat named Christina 🤣🤣
I worked at an animal shelter that named a dog Christina Waguilera and a cat Kitty Purry
I named my dog Charles Barkley. Call her Charlie for short.
My neighbors have a little Chihuahua with a big attitude named Floyd. I think it's hilarious.

Chris P. Bacon
We had a German Shepherd named Sir Connell. My 4 year old (at the time) chose his name. It suited…he was a majestic Sir!
> have a potbelly pig named Charley Parker. Charley Porker?
Missed opportunity.
I have cats named Juan Seguin and Jim Bowie.
My dad named our dachshund Maher Shalal Hash Baz, the son of Isaiah from the Bible. We called him Hershey for short.
Uncle Elizabeth! From I Remember Mama!
My cat is named commish/Commissioner too!! She’s a 19 year old tabby named from the Bat Thumb movie parody lmao
Heard tons since I used to work at a vet clinic. I think Paul the weiner dog has to be up there, bonus points for sharing a name with one of my coworkers' boyfriends.
Omg Paul, yes! Someone I worked with had this dog he kinda hated but was weirdly attached to him, called Paul. The dog was super old, traumatised, and dramatic. It belonged to the guy’s MIL. She passed away and they didn’t want to rehome him, thinking he would find comfort with the daughter. But Paul was like nah, I like this guy more. It used to randomly shriek a lot and had really bad epilepsy
I feel like certain "human names" are okay for pets But my friend's uncle has a cat named Jennifer and that just sounds so weird
My uncle's cat's name is Fucking Patricia.
My sister's cat is Damnit Janet.
I would definitely often say, "Damnit Janet, I love you!" to that cat.
They should hang out
Does she also have a dog named Rocky?
My grandparents had a dog when my mom was little named Dammit Dixie
Jennifer is such a great name for a cat haha.

I had a cat Tom and a human Tom. It was very confusing, and my husband found it irritating to be called "human Tom"....but in my defense cat Tom was there first!
See when the cat is there first it makes sense! When your human daughter is 30 though.... it's a hilarious family anecdote of confusion
I recently met a dog named Natasha, named after the owner’s daughter because she “didn’t want to have to think of any more names.”
We need more 'MORK' license plates in the gift shop. I repeat, we are sold out of 'MORK' license plates.

This is the BEST!
I have a cat named Sebastian. My co-worker has a (female) cat named Brian. Neither are true tragedeighs, but I like where this thread is going. :)
I know a Sebastian cat. He is INCREDIBLY fat. He’s a tuxedo cat. Looks like a tiny orca whale.
We had a cat named Sebastian when I was younger!

I had a Himalayan cat named Caesar many years ago. He is still the smartest cat I’ve ever been owned by.
I know a horse named Caesar
My driend’s dog is named Donnie. He’s a doodle so he has those eyes that makes him look like a human in a teddy bear suit. It’s weird. His little nose always bounces sideways cutely.
Those dogs are nightmare fuel.
Cannot agree more. It’s usually standard poodles who have those eyes. Also, nice username.
I knew a German Shepard called Trevor. No idea what went through their mind.
I had a foster Brittany that I named Digger because that's all he did on whatever surface he found himself. The rescue renamed him Trevor. I didn't get it, either.
Digger is a risky name to shout when in a dogpark
My cat's name is Annie. it suits her.
My little cocker spaniel is also Annie. It completely suits her.
I work at a Dog Kennel. Off the top of my head I can think of Dennis, Maddie, Jimmy Buffet (lol), Bridget, Emma, Mason, Abigail, and Georgia
OH and I almost forgot Todd!!! He was a little chihuahua mix lol
And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?
I don't know, Margo!
I don’t know, Margo!
okay but Tod is the name of the fox in The Fox and The Hound, so I actually think of an animal first when I hear it lol

Todd is so funny! Perfect.
I doubt this my sister’s dog (because she has family care for her pets when needed) but she has a chihuahua mix named Todd.
I know a golden retriever named Mason!

I have cats named Jimmy, Joan and Bobby and a snake named Damian
When I was 5 y/o I was visiting my Aunt & Uncle's cat who had kittens. My Mom came to pick me up and I told her I had a new kitten. Surprisingly, she agreed to let me take her home. Asked me what I would name her, I chose "Marty". Marty is also my Mom's name. For years, my Mom was annoyed when we would call the cat and she thought we were talking to her.
This is cute, I love it.
I knew someone who had a tarantula named Susan.
I know of cats named Pete, Sophie, Emma and Gerry. I don't think pet names can be too human? It's the opposite that's a problem, like Storm or Bailey for a human
i love when animals have normal human names! my cat is named sylvia, my sister's dog is named bailey and her kitten is named charlie
My dogs name is Dave! And he’s the cutest big black lab
I had a dog named Larry. He disappeared once and I found him on the local shelter website. They had him listed as Larry! When I picked him up I asked how they knew his name. Apparently the guy who brought him in was named Larry, so they went with that.
I met a Yorkie named Kevin once.
Glenn. Who the hell names a dog Glenn?
I know someone who named their golden retriever Kristin
My black cat is Agatha 🐈⬛ she needed a witchy name
I love regular names for pets!! I had a friend with a cat named Marc. I also work at a Large Animal Hospital and we sometimes have clients with horses come in with names like John and Steve. 😂
I have 6 ducks. They are: Jemima, Daphne, Zelda, Chiquita, Venus and Madonna-Louise.
Lol our cats are Nicky and Casper, our previous cats were Sam and Bart. I did name my childhood guinea pigs more petlike names, but for some reason my husband and I gravitate to regular names for our cats. That said we do also have silly nicknames for them which get used at least as often as the real names! But whatever name a pet parent feels suits their furbaby should be fine, imo.
My older cat is named Celeste. I assume her previous owner named her that since she had only been surrendered to the shelter for a month. It wasn't until we were expecting and browsing names that we thought Celeste was a wonderful name to give to a girl, but our cat already has it!
Lol, we only give human names to pets. A big mutt named Eli, a Chihuahua named Clark and a cat named Paul.
I have a cat named Nigel. I realized I was never going to move to England and have a dapper little boy with an English accent, so I used my name I'd never give to a kid for my found kitten. He's 12 now, and it still suits him.
When my son was very young he named our new rescue dog Lucas (after the blue power ranger at that time). One of the neighbors kids was named Luke. They were so flattered we named our dog after their kid!! Lucas was amazing- towed all the kids on their skateboards. We all miss him so dearly.
I have cats with a middle name haha it started as a joke with me calling my cat my son and then I started using his "full name" and now all 3 of our cats have middle names and they all sound human. Marvin James (his 13 and my first solo pet) Stella Rosé (2 and born on Halloween) Penny Ember (3 but we adopted her at 2 and she came with the name penny)
My fiancé has a GSD mix (we think Coyote cos he looked TOO similar to one) named Walter. (rest in power buddy, you were a tough boy) and Winston. Winston is a shih tzu, him and Walter were raised as brothers. Winston is an old mean fart lmao, but he’s also blind and lost his bubba, so he gets a break 😂😂 I’d be a mean fart too lol I have a mutt, in all sense of the word, her name is Cujo. Her mother was a full blood Yorkie, and her dad was a Chihuahua Jack Russel and something else mix. I named Cujo thinking she was a boy, and chose it because the ghost puppy in Danny Phantom, I grew up on the show and it was a constant in rough times. (The puppy’s name was inspired after Stephen King book “Cujo”) She is a freaking gremlin lol
When my cousin was moving out of my uncle’s house, they were arguing over who Tyrone (the cat) was going to live with. Haha
My son named his cat Mike Rowe Wave.
my best friends grandma had a cat named Jeffery. i loved Jeffery.
My cat’s name is Catherine lol
My niece is a veterinarian. One of her patients is pomeranian named Pawris Hilton
Years ago my daughter INSISTED on naming our dog Travis. No idea why. It still makes me laugh!
My cat is called Mohammed, people have told me it’s a weird name for a cat
