It's so true.

Also, my fiance acts all manly and will just say "Hey cat" while patting them on the head while I'm around. But I've caught him before cooing and sweet talking them before when I've come home or woken up when he thought I was still sleeping. :3:

I have a cat named named Lily, whose name I will often extend to "Lilililily", or, on a really good day "Lililililililililililililililily". At this point, I think she long ago stopped recognizing it as a name and has simply accepted the syllable "li" as a noise I make.

We too have a Lilly that ends up with the Lililililily name. It usually devolves into Lilililililalalalalalalala, but normally she's just Tittah. Her nicknames are far more elaborate than her brothers somehow..

Lilly -> Lils -> Bits -> Bitbit -> Banana Bits -> Tit-tit -> Tittah -> Tater Tot -> Princess of the Universe

Frankin's are much less interesting:

Franklin D -> Frankie D -> Frankie -> Prinkie -> Prinkles -> Prinkles D -> Butterball -> Blond Wonder

I also sing to my dog a lot. Recently it's been to the tune of Let It Go.

"Tell me DOOOOOPES, tell me DOOOOOOPES. Are you goin to eat toNIIIIIGHT? Tell me DOOOPES, tell me DOOOOPES. You've got big fat thighs. HERE YOU ARE, AND HERE'S YOUR BOWL. Let your tail hang doooooown. Your hunger never bothered me anyway."

Some of my original songs/song titles about Boo and Frost (who I usually call Baby or Babycat; we hand-raised her because her evil slut catmom abandoned her):

♪ Boo-bie
Squishy Boo-bie
I love youuu ♪

♪ My baby angel
You're so squishy and soft ♪

♪ Please Let Me poo poo in Peace ♪

♪ Why Is My Face so Tasty ♪

Other names for Boo include:

Booseph, Booseidon, Boobs, Boober, Boobie, Lord Booberton, Poo (because he doesn't cover his shits all the time :argh:)

Other names for Frost include:

Frostito, Frosty, Tiny Baby(cat), Little Tiny and I also yell BEH BEHHHHH a lot then she squeaks at me. She really was tiny when she was rescued (3oz).

My parents have a dog named Tina but I almost exclusively call her Wina or Winakin. Also Winakin Cutewalker, Wiener, Wienerschnitzel...

I also tell them often to call PETA and Sarah Maclaughlin to report me.

Oh, and i like to pick Pearla up and rub her on my face just to watch her quickly start cleaning herself to get me off her. The look she gives me is pure disgust. heh heh.

My cat's have a strange nickname... They're both girls and I started calling them my little chicks, then it changed to little chickens, and now I call them my chicken nuggets and tell them I want to eat them lol.. I bet they must think I'm completely mad sometimes lol.

Also, when Sophie broke her leg she had it in a splint for some time after the surgery to put pins in the bone, and when she'd try walk around she'd seem to hop, so she got nicknamed my Hoppy Poppy. She's all better now though thankfully, but I do still call her Poppy on occasion.

This wheel's a paltry 16 inches. Your premium hay isn't premium enough. What sick individual puts pellets in a Corelle bowl, anyways? Gawd, you'd be better off fending for yourself in the wilderness of Chicago with the coyotes. At least then you can be spared the indignity of neck scritchies."

I come home and loudly admonish the cats for not completing their chores while I was at work. Is it too much to ask that they take 10 minutes to pick up a broom or dust a little? Lazy.

Also I've found a new game with Mr. Carson. He likes to sprawl out on my ottoman for tummy rubs, so I now grab his tummy and bounce him while going "FAT FAT FAT" until he squirms to the point where he's inches away from falling off of it. Then I let go and watch him fall off. Then I point at him and laugh. Hard.

It is surprising how much space is needed to 'swing a cat'!
I've only had my cat, Madame, for about two months, but I've already created a number of nicknames for her. Even though her full name is technically Madame Mimsy (I got her from a friend who had given her that name, I'll sometimes call her Madame Butterfly or Madame Meowmeow. (Sooner or later, I imagine I'll be calling her Madame Curie and Madame Tussaud, too.). I also call her (Ol') Speckle Nose because her nose is pink with black spots on it, and Wet Nose her nose is wettest nose I have ever known a cat to have. I also call her Grumplestiltskin because she can be a grump.

Both my chinchillas only get a small handful of food a day plus however much hay they want to stuff their faces with. The amount of resulting poop is astounding.

My rabbit get's super excited when I bust out the hay. She runs around in circles under my hands, and usually doesn't even wait for it to leave my hands before she starts nomming away. I know you all are probably thinking that I starve her or something but I've even tossed a full handful of hay into her cage followed by another one and she went just as crazy for the second handful. Anyways, as a result of her antics she usually get's covered in hay so I've taken to singing to her "It's raining hay! hallelujah it's raining hay, oh lord!"

I also constantly like to remind her of the fact that she's a bunny. "You're a bunny! Yes you! No you're not people you're a bunny!"

I also occasionally toss out a "Me bun on fire. Me bun on fire singing hop hop hop."

He doesn't respond to "walk". Going for a walk is "outside" for him. This is the most I'm willing to share. The other stuff is just too embarrassing for anyone besides my fiancee and myself to know. Let's just say we loving worship this dog like a god.

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who does this (albeit, to my cats, which is even easier lyrically).

Early on my cat Wren got the nickname Wrenbutt, so there's all sorts of weird spin-offs of that use butt or a similar sound: Wrenbutt, Ribbit, Ryebutt, Rowboat, Purrbutt, Purrbot, Spotbot.

The loveable tramp of a tuxedo cat's nicknames sound way more harsh out of context: Dick Cat/Butt, Trash Cat, Jerk Cat/Butt.

They get called Gal & Pal a lot, respectively, and I always say goodbye to them when I leave the house, which I'm sure makes me sound crazy to the neighbors.

I don't think it's weird to have nicknames for your pet. My corgi Butters has many: Fat Dog, Handsome Bear, Little Bear, Stumpy-Legs, Heartbutt, Lumpy Space Dog, etc.

Most of the time it's just me singing actual songs to him, but changing the lyrics to be about how small and/or stinky he is. Like-

I have a stinky Butters,
I made him out of clay,
and when he's dry and ready,
with Butters I shall play!

Oh, Butters Butters Butters,
I made you out of clay!
Butters Butters Butters,
with Butters I shall play!


(I'm not Jewish, and I don't think he is either)

Also when I want to rub his stomach, I will command him "Butters! Roll to save vs. tummy rubs!", and then immediately start doing it anyway and saying "Oh no, you failed your save!"

"No people food for you, those cute eyes won't work on me mister! You've had your dinner."
"No, it's not dinnertime yet. No, it's not dinnertime yet, for either of us! Here, I'll just throw this blanket over you and pretend you don't exist. No dog can escape The Blanket Game!"
"Yes, you're a good dog, you're the snuggliest cutest squidgy doggy ever, but you're still not getting my food."

To the cat I cat sit:
"Stop walking on my face! It's 3 am I've got work in two hours!"
"Good morning, cat, how are you today? Yes, you're a cat! You're a cat cat!"
"Hello cat cat the cat cat, do you want a pat pat? You're made of fluff you know that, you're entirely made out of fluff! Yes you are!"
"That's a funny cat noise. Why are you making funny cat noises? Oh you just want to be talked to, silly needy cat. Yes, you're a silly cat!"


Doesn't help that the people I cat sit and dog sit for are neighbours. And that the cat and the dog are mortal enemies, that have far more in common than they have differences. If they put aside their territorial struggle for who gets the comfiest sunbathing places of the afternoon, their combined cuteness would be unstoppable!
