    It can be tough to find balance when you’re naming your pet. Obviously, you want the name to be true to the animal’s personality. You also probably want it to be unique… while staying simple enough that you can call them with ease.

    We feel that owners can intuitively tell that they’ve made the right choice, whether they go for something popular like Luna or think outside the box with Sir Meowington von Clawsewitz III. But there will be moments where you see so many good options that you have no clue what to pick. Or the opposite, where you can’t seem to find anything that suits your awesome new pet’s character.

    As ‘PetSmart’ points out, if you ever feel stuck for inspiration, you might want to look to your hobbies. Think about your favorite characters from books, shows, and films, and see if those names match your pet.

    According to ‘PetSmart,’ it's typically best to give your pet a name that isn’t longer than 2 syllables, so they’re easier to call.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Meanwhile, remember that you can still change your pet’s name a few times in the first few weeks that you have them. However, later, it’s best to stick to one so that the animal isn’t confused.

    ‘Pet Sitters International’ also stresses the importance of names that are easy to call out and respond to. Tongue twisters aren’t always the best choice, even if they’re incredibly creative.

    Furthermore, think about whether the name you choose will still suit your pet throughout the stages of its life. For instance, something like ‘Kitten’ might sound cute, but it might not necessarily be the best fit as it grows.

    At the end of the day, though, these are all just suggestions. You know your pet far better than anyone else, and only you can pick a name for it that brings its personality and behavior to life!

    OP's sister is a vet and saw a large, muscular pitbull with white fur, who was wearing a spike collar. The dog looked aggressive and intimidating. Upon meeting said dog, vet learned that his name is Marshmallow, who is a giant idiot with a heart of gold, that just wants some belly rubs. They were at the vet because Marshmallow decided to eat a rubber ducky.

My friends family had a cat and then a stray started coming around and staying in the house. They called him, the other cat and eventually it just became Other Cat. He would even come to you outside if you called to him. He also only used the sidewalks, he would never cut across the grass to come to you.

    We had a stray tomcat adopt us when I was in high school. (Really I fed him after my mom told me not to, so he hung around, LOL) He was a sweet cat but never wanted to come inside the house. She we put up a doghouse right outside the back door on our porch and he lived there happily. I named him Freeloader, but we all called him Load for short. 😁 He stayed with us for the rest of his life. We of course had him neutered and did all his necessary vet work. Even after years with us though he still refused to come in the house. He just preferred being outside.

    We just received our 5th cat a couple of weeks ago. Did we want 5 cats? No. But he was dropped off in our neighborhood by a jerk who didn't want him. I heard my husband outside knocking on the kitchen window and go to see what he wants. He's holding up a gray tabby. I said, "That's not ours!" Well, he is now. Jack joins Olive, Poppy, Hattie, Lola (all spayed females) and dogs, Parker and Madeline. He's been a joy to have and fits right into our crowded house.

    OP is correct about more attention needing to be paid to Lukashenko's dictatorship but I'm not understanding the reference to a "recent successful coup." I see the laugh emoji which is even more confusing? Lukashenko claims there have been coup attempts but there really hasn't. It's a very bad situation for many there; the husband of a woman who is like our daughter can't get work because he was part of an office wide walkout when Lukashenko started his crackdown on the independent media, another friend's daughter is a refugee in Poland because she protested against Lukashenko and has been identified through facial recognition software. She will be arrested if she goes back. It's really bad and no one seems to know or care.

Thank god he doesn’t ingest it. Even his adoption paperwork has nibbles off the corner 😂

    I got lucky and adopted a pure bred Norwegian Forest cat. He was left in a box on the stairs at my vets office. They named him Boxcar Bobby. So I adopted him and called him Bob.
    I think a breeder dumped him because right at the end of his tail, it had a kink...the tip was at a 90° angle. Never bothered him and we had him for about 14 years.

    My tripod kitty who was missing a back leg also had a 90 degree kink at the end of his tal. He used his tail (which became quite muscular as a result) as a counter balance. He’d come rub up against your ankles and sort of lean into you with that tail wrapped around your leg. We called it his tail hook!😻

    I think a better name would have been Kink because he had a kink in his tail.

    Alas, not a purebred Norwegian Forest Cat if he was found abandoned in a box at the vet's office. Unless a cat has papers/a pedigree, they're not a purebred. Even if you think your cat has all the attributes/aspects of a certain breed, they're not that breed unless they have a pedigree. There's also no such thing as a "half Bengal" either - they're just a Domestic Shorthair/moggy, even if one parent WAS a purebred pedigreed Bengal cat. Cat breeds don't work the same way dog breeds do.

    There was a bulldog that used to visit my office named Foreman. I know it’s not as obviously funny but it was funny in context since he was such a big boy.

    I misread "bullfrog" and thought, "Not Jeremiah?" Then I realized it was "bulldog". I think "Jeremiah the Bulldog" would be great!

    My girl actually had two names! She was so frightened/grumpy/antisocial when she first got to the shelter that they named her Frumpkin. Once she was out of the kennel area and being kept in an office where she could let her guard down, they renamed her Daisy.

    Neither fit her, but if I had to pick between the two, Frumpkin is closer lol.

    My cat Preacher was named Miller by the shelter we adopted him from XD (I named him Preacher after my favorite comic book series, but it also fits otherwise because he's a tuxedo.) When he is especially naughty, I call him by his "birth name", Miller XD

    About a month after my little girl Cali passed I was down at the shelter looking at an orange and white cat they called Whiskey. WhenI say little girl, at her heaviest Cali weighed 5.5 lbs. I was in the little room getting to know the new cat and playing with him. I finally got him close enough to pick up. When I did, I was like "Oh my god, you're a Moose. And it stuck. 🐱
