I have in my menagerie of cats:
Gamera: Guardian of The Universe; Nicknames- Gambi, Gambini, Gamberooni, Grayby
Gyaos (pronounced Gauss); Nicknames- Gyaos-a-mouse, Mouse, Goose, Goose-a-moose, Moose
Drax The Destroyer; Nicknames- Droopy, Droops, Droopy-poopy, Drax-attacks, Drakattaka
Marceline the Vampire Queen; Nicknames- Marcy, Moops, MooMoo, Marmie, MooMoo Bean the Stinky Queen
Cookie; Nicknames- Cook, Cookie-Books, Bookie, Book
That is the most relatable nickname collection I've seen for cats
We all know they have 1 name but 5 nicknames
This was discounting the truly lazy ones where I just add -boy, -girl, and -cat to the end which adds an infinite supply of stupid names. We took Gyaos to a different vet than our normal one once (for a paw he cut on some glass he shattered) and they acted like Mouse was the weirdest nickname in the world. We didn't return to them ever again.
