    It doesn’t apply in my case, but I like the idea of a goddess called Bubbles and a Taco Bell item called Squanch.

    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.

        At first I was confused about why someone would copy some random twitter user’s post on here, but now I’m even more confused about why someone would fake a month old twitter post

        I mean I respect the art, it definitely had an effect on me

          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

        That’s crazy! Although I’ve told this story many times before haha, I’m surprised a bot picked it up but not at the same time.

        I am genuinely truthful in my story haha, she’s an awesome cat!

    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).

    Luna - male

    Eclipse - female

    Madame (formally Freya) - female

    Bat - female

    Ding - male

    Rainbow bridge: Gaia - female, Apollo - female

    Bat and Ding had those names at the shelter and we didn’t see a reason to change them. Luna … We were told he was a she as a kitten, and after a week of proper nutrition we saw the boy bits and just kept the name. Apollo was purposely named that way because we already had one swap and then we’d have the sun and moon.

    Chalupa Batman and Osiris.

    lol.

    All of my cats were named after Star Wars characters. No one, regardless of assigned gender, needs to be named “ Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos.”
