Which is kind of funny, you'd think a white cat would better fit "light bringer"

I once met a boy cat named Vendetta.

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I named by boy Willow, because he had very long limbs and tail, reminded me of the tree. the petsmart employee thought it was weird tho and only wrote 'Will' down on the form

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Will O, the Wisp-y tail

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.”

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.

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 1 points 16 hours ago

If bat and ding are patterned/spotted. Then the dingbat joke kind of fits. (Dingbat characters are characters used in printing, that instead of being letters are ornamental pictograms, which from a far look like ink spots most of the time. i swear i remember there being long, whispy characters made as edge fillers, but i can't find them anywhere.)

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

One of my girl cats was literally named Girl Cat.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 7 points 21 hours ago

I just kept the names from the shelter, in case the cats were used to them already.

Damnit it's true. My female cat's name is Aurora (Bora Alice) and my last male was simply named Siatie (c a t)
