How many of you, despite the names for your felines, end up calling them 'Cat'
a lot?

Nope, never call 'em 'Cat'

Ripley is  aka 'Hey Stupid', "Rips" "Beautiful Boy' and "The Untalented Mr
Ripley'

McCavity is aka 'Cav' 'Cavity Cat' "The Mysterious Mr McCavity" and "Where
the hell is he?"

I've always called Maya my little girl, or pretty little girl. Bruiser
was "the little guy" and then became "the big guy" at some point.

Does Rotten Cat count, or Spoiled Cat?  Of course, I keep telling
Tiger that I should have named him Herbie because he's such a
"lovebug".

I sometimes call her "Hey You".

"rotten cat" or "rotten feline" is common if somebody gets into something
they shouldn't.  Mostly they get called their names, or nick names.

With two cats, that would be impractical. ;o) But I have lots of pet names
for Frank and Nikki, and I do call them kitty now and then, if the other one
isn't close by and no confusion is possible. Actually, since I speak Swedish
to my cats, I call Frank "kissen" and Nikki "missan". Thos eare both pet
names for cats in general.

    Well I do, but it's along the lines of, "Oh, who is daddy's good
cat?  Who is daddy's sweet cat?  Who is daddy's precious cat?  Are you
daddy's pretty cat?  Oh yes you are.  You're daddy's good cat aren't
you?

    This can go on and on for some time.

Well, Hugo Katt's name *is* katt (=cat in Swedish.)
And Katt is the name he listens to - if he listens...
I call him "Katt, katt, katte, katt, katti-katt, katt, katt..." when he is
to come in.

What really works best is to call "katt-mat" = cat-food! Then he comes
bounding like a shot.

 Just plain "cat", occasionally.   We do call Hobo "Fat Cat" and
Speckles "Rat Cat" more often.

Not cat, but I do use gato sometimes, usually followed by an expletive
when someone is doing something bad. :)  Even though I'm not specific,
the culprit always knows I'm addressing him. Funny, it's always the boys
that get the cussing... the girls rarely do thing bad enough to be
yelled at. Such good girls!

"Cat cat cat cat" is the call to run to the window, a Stranger is in the
yard. "Come see the cat cat cat cat!" They all know what it means, and
we don't use "Cat" to talk to any  of our bunch -- except to scold, "You
bad naughty terrible Cat!!"

Whoops - cat's out now!

Well, Polaris, Twinkle-Afar, and Jubilee are all well. Polaris has been
outside a couple of times this spring now. Last summer, we visited my
sister and came home with her cat, Harley Davidson.
I've been revising the website. I haven't put pictures up for each cat
quite yet, and I'm planning to add full stories from the rpca archives,
but here's Harley's page:
http://members.shaw.ca/kristac/Cats/harley.htm

I heard about The Dust (((((T.J)))))
and it made me feel a bit "homesick" for rpca, so I've been lurking
since then. Glad to see everyone is pretty much still here.

We've been talking about you, you know. :)

Harley is a sweet looking boy!  He looks like he's smiling.

Harley's a very handsome boy. Glad to hear the other ones are doing well.
Did they accept Harley right away?

I sometimes refer to Betty as "the cat" when discussing her with a
third person, but I haven't called her that when speaking to her.  She
gets called "honey", "pie" (short for cutie-pie), "kitty-girl",
"bright eyes", and "larva".

     Larva???   Did I miss something?

I guess that does sound weird. :)  Sometimes, when I'm reading or
working on the computer, I'll look up and notice Betty curled up like
Joyce's Roxy pic here:

http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/new_pictures/roxy_fetching.html

Except Betty curls more into a "C" shape.  When she does that, I'm
supposed to squeal and exclaim, "Oh, why there's a little larva on the
floor!"  It looks like she's trying to do an impression. :)

Stinky responds to almost any talk-- or any sound you make, but he
loves baby talk, the big sissy.  When he's lying down, and I talk to
him from across the room, he immediately does the upside-down head
thing.

    Mine barely tolerate me, but they let me get away with it for a
while.  They put up with it longer if they're getting skritches at the
same time.
