I have a lot of runners up, like Amrito for Amy, or Bradinglesmirch for Briar, but I think the dumbest has to be Scott Von Scott of the Scottsdale Scotts Who Did Scott So Scottily in the Battle of Scotteen Twelve.
So I ask you, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever called your furry friends?

“Bumble tumble” for my dog. 😬
To my credit, the bumble ball commercial had just played.
One is Miss Dog and the other one I call Pequenina. I’m Brazilian and pequenina is little one, but her name is Nina, so thats why pequeNINA
We had a lovely cat when I grew up, she was completely black, with short but compact fur, and tuffs on her ears.
For this to make sense, I need to talk about Swedish grammar…
In Swedish grammar we have two genus for words:
“Utrum” words get the suffix “(e)n” in their definitive form.
“Neutrum” words get the suffix “(e)t” in their definite form.
These words also get the en/ett article in front of it when talking about a signular unspecified item.
Example:
Car - bil, a car - en bil, the car - bilen
Table - bord, a table - ett bord, the table - bordet
Now, the Swedish word for cat is an utrum word:
Katt, en katt, katten.
One of the nicknames we used to call our cat was the neutrum defined form: “kattet”.
Which if I am looking back at this comment is a funny nickname, with a stupidly complex explanation to non Swedish speakers.
I have a toy Yorkie named Jazzy, and I call her either Jabu or Sweet-Pickle
I used to work at an animal shelter, and my go-to nickname for the dogs was just the first syllable of their name twice. Joy becomes Jojo, Daisy becomes Dede, Torrey becomes Toto, Peter becomes Pepe… It took me about a minute to figure out that I needed to call him Petey instead
Yardstick. She only has 3 feet.
Does “Shithead” count? That’s what I call my cat :P
Have a cat that scrunges every time you pet her head. Nicknames have evolved.
Scrungy cat, scrungy baby, scrungy butt, scrunge, scrung (hard G), scrungabutt, scring, and we’ve arrived at scringus bingus being the most ridiculous thing so far.
Define… Scrunge…?
Ah lol
I live in Bangalore, India. The local language here is Kannada but I don’t speak it nor do I have many friends who speak it. I named my cat Bacardi and would call him Bacoo. Turns out the word for cat in the local language is also “Bacoo”. So for any local who saw me interact with my cat, it looked like I was calling my cat “cat”! I found out around a year later!
One of my Cats is officially named Cat. The other’s called Later.
You need another one to call Choo. Then you can summon them all while saying goodbye to people with “Catch you later.”
I will take that under advisement.
I call my cat cat all the time.
Silvery Boy
Silver Bro
Naughty Boy
Antigold
Lugia (a reference to Pokémon Silver)
His real name is “Silver”, and he’s a bitey snowshoe cat that has psychopathy.
cat that has psychopathy.
You could have just said ‘cat’.
Dogs are honestly creepier to me. They’re just too uncanny. I think they’re more devious than they get credit for, any animal that gets human pointing is sus a[r]f
I have a Dibo/Bluenose mix. We call her “Fat Fat”. She is like 85+lbs of pure love.
I’ve got two dogs and I sort of aspire to the most ridiculous nicknames for them.
