These are my cats, Athena and Ultimate Cravings Box.
My princess is named: Winter.
Because she's white.
Hey, you leave Crunch Wrap Supreme alone, he's a good boy.
I once lived with a male Norwegian mutt named Nipsey Russel.
He was an interesting character like his namesake. He was an amazing cat who loved alcohol, you literally had to keep an eye on your drink.
When I was a kid our kitten was a rescue my mother brought home from the place she took horseback riding lessons - the kitten got stuck inside the chip machine's coin box, so it works more whenever you fed the machine coins.
We ended up giving her the oh-so-original name snowball. Then her colors came in and we discovered her to be a calico. Oops. Kitty it is then. RIP kitty.
I think I call mine kitty or kitten most the time, she's like 8 years old.
The stray calico kitten that hangs out on my porch and in front of my front door I named Princess because she is regal and demanding.
We name all the cats regardless of sex after something to do with literature. But that's their government names and I normally don't use those online to protect their tiny kitty privacy.
All their nicknames are like
Jerkcat Babycat Dingus YOU FUCKER STOP CHEWING PLASTIC creature Sweetie Grey ghost Great hunter
Look, just anything that pops into my head as I sing sweet nothings to them
Current cat is creature often. Little weird creature.
Funny, I’m close to the opposite. My boy cat is named after a god (Apollo, Greek god) and my girl cat is named after my favourite drink (Islay, scotch from Islay, Scotland).
Not Laphroaig?
My next cat will be named Quarter Cask
I've had cats named Baldr, Hermóðr, Grendel, and Wotan. I've currently got a Valkyrie, Brynhildr, Freyja, and Freya (we got Freya when she was a year old because her owner couldn't keep her, and we already had Frejya, so...). But our current boy cats are Svartur ('cuz he's black), Robert, and Charlie.
I named my girl Selune... I guess I'm basic D=
Mine are two girl cats: Moose and Yeti. Moose is fluffy, majestic and too spart. Yeti is a dumb little angle baby
My Boy: Rails, for Ruby on Rails.
My Girl: Sushi, cause she's black and white and looks like a roll.
I hope your cat never finds out he could have been called ruby but you choose to go with rails....
Also dictators. I know boy cats named Meowsolini and Chairman Meow.
I have a cat named Francis, but sometimes I call him Francisco Franco 😂
You listen to behind the bastards don't you?
I don’t, should I?
"Crunchwrap Supreme", but we just call him "Crunchy" for short.
I have a girl cat named Preggo.
We rescued her during a tornado storm, in Arkansas, and we thought she was pregnant so I just called her Preggo.
By the time we got her to the vet we found out she's not pregnant, just fat and weird, however by that time she got used to being called Preggo so we just kept that up.
Wtf? Is dead internet true?
I don’t like that
I don't think you should like your own post, kinda cringe
Now think of every tweet screenshot we've seen, and how many we've actually checked to see if it's legit. Scary because nearly all of us must have fallen for lies at some point
I think the twitter screenshot is fake. I tried to look up JaydenSmithish through nitter and it says user not found
My old friend had a male cat he named Leonidas.
Yes, he got him shortly after 300 came out, rofl.

My buddy for 17 years, since passed - Bailey (because he was a tabby with a belly the same color of Bailey's Irish Cream.
My current littermates, brother and sister:
Girl: Willett Boy: Scout
Both named after bourbons - Willett and Smooth Ambler Old Scout.
We currently have a female cat. We called her sky. Beforehand we had a male cat, all white with a black head. We called him yorshik. Which i'm quite sure it's a corruption of the russian for toilet brush... Poor thing.
Doing a quick search on “Yorshik” (Ёршик), of the very few sources I could find on the topic, while the word does seem to translate to “brush” there doesn’t seem to be any surface connection to toilet brush per se, though naturally it may be possible on a colloquial level.
This source that deals with meanings and etymologies of Russian words says:
Слово «ёршик» является диалектным выражением, используемым в русском языке для обозначения маленькой ёлочной игрушки в виде ёлочной ветки или шишки. Это слово имеет древнерусское происхождение и связано с древними славянскими обрядами, связанными с поклонением природе и деревьям.
Which DDG translate says means
The word "brush" is a dialectal expression used in the Russian language to refer to a small Christmas tree toy in the form of a Christmas tree branch or cone. This word is of Old Russian origin and is associated with ancient Slavic rites associated with the worship of nature and trees.
The only other resource I’ve found is this 11 year old YouTube video in Russian, that I can’t really understand. They seem to be joking about something, and “New Year” is mentioned, but I didn’t hear the word for toilet.
As far as I can understand, Yorshik seems to mean “brush” or “little brush”.
