Roxy also known as "Moose" She was overweight for a long time but has slimmed down considerably with feeding her different cat food. Now nicknamed "moosh moosh" a variation on "moose".
Thunder - A tiger cat also known as "golden boy" or "thunsy"
Kenshin - long haired Maine coon cat. also known as "Big boy" and he is big.

My cat Buddha, who began as a tiny black and white tuxedo cat named Boo by her former owner, had many nicknames. She came to us about double the weight she should have been, hence Buddha, after the Hindu God that has been immortalized in American cheap statuettes, but who is not in fact Buddha at all. (It's the fat laughing guy, with the big belly, hence the term "Buddha belly.)
She comes any time she hears the "ooo," just on the off chance that she might get fed. She is very spunky and has an iron clad sense of entitlement. (When you shoo her, say, out of the kitchen so she will not have hot cooking oil spilled on her, she looks back over her shoulder on the way out and hisses at you.)
My favorite nickname for her is the Latin-inspired Boodicus Moodicus Baddicus Catticus Fatticus Girlicus. :)

mlabofski@yahoo.co.uk - 18 Jul 2005 16:27 GMT Otis has several nicknames, not all repeatable here but including:
Lord Otis of Battersea (used to live near Dogs home, threatened to drop him off there if he didn't stop being such an upper class twit)
Otis Henge (as in Stonehenge) - not sure why, possibly after hippy catnip experience
Nobollox (obvious!)

> We have three cats all have nicknames picked up over the years. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Kenshin - long haired Maine coon cat. also known as "Big boy" > and he is big. Meep's usually called TravelCat online, due to the long miles she's put in with us (this place is her 3rd overseas move).
I've been known to call her Strat if she's really bad. Short for the famous violin...
If you don't quite get it, I also had a horse, who when she was bad, I called her Alpo <g>
Other than that. Boring stuff. "my little shadow" usually, as she's black, and follows me around the house. She's also been called my familiar, but we won't go there :)

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> Kenshin - long haired Maine coon cat. also known as "Big boy" >> and he is big. I was JUST thinking about this the other day - how weird.... I have four furbabies - Spike - a grey tabby who is large, so he is the "Big Spikey Boy" , I don't know why or how this one got started - but I sing "Spike-a-roni" to the tune of Rice-a-Roni.... Baby - a teeeeeny calico - she is called the "Itty Bitty Kitty". Damien - Called "Boo" - and I have to explain, cause it didn't start out cause Boo is a term of endearment. About an inch or so at the end of Damien's tail (oh, he is an orange tabby) his tail is crooked - and I don't mean a little lopsided - it literally goes straight across - it is cute, cause he'll wag just the little nub of his tail.... Anyway, I started calling him "Boo Boo Kitty" cause of the tail - that evolved to Boo. Almoni - another tiny cat, not quite as small as Baby, but tiny - she is a tortoise shell tabby (I have never seen a cat like her - she really is beautiful and interesting looking) - anyway - she is VERY destructive and curious - so she is called "Monster", and since she will play with the deposits that belong in the litter box, she is a "Itty Bitty Shitty Kitty" - LOL
Now, if any of them are being bad - Monster LOVES to push things off tables, and will do it in front of me, if I let her - take any of the nic's and lower the octave and spread the name out - like "Ssssssppppppppppiiiiiiikkkkkkkkeeeeeee! Leave Baby alone!"

I think these silly conversations are the language of love that we speak to our kitties. :)
