Name Our Cat And Win A Prize
Dearest Voxies,
There's a new kitten in town and it's plastering my blog with more cuteness than you could ever imagine. But there's a catch: kitten needs a name.
Let's explain... Kitten is two years old but she's ultra-compact, weighing less than 5lbs and looking like a 6-month old kitten. She has absolutely no teeth (removed by the vet because of complications), she's allergic to herself and has a runny nose, she's super-loving and a big attention whore. And she has really smelly farts.
So here's the deal: we need to name her and we're going to let the vox community do it. Well, kinda. You get to suggest names and we'll pick the best one. That person will win the grand prize of one (1) $10 Amazon gift certificate. To aid you on your quest we're including a number of pictures of the kitten with everyday objects so you can understand her size and cuteability.
We'll post the winner in the next couple days. Good luck!
Update: Wow, some of these suggestions are really great! We're trying our favorites out and seeing how kitty likes them. They're still coming in so we're going to give it another day or two before we decide. Keep 'em coming! Happy Thanksgiving! Nick and Rebecca

p.s.
can i use my ten dollars on cat treats? ;)
My suggestion is 'Miss Kitty Fantastico'
Squidgie is a good name for a farting mini cat.
pixies being small and (usually) cute, and there's a wii in one of those photos, and it's just a funky name. i name all my cats weird stuff (mercedes, morgan, nieve, saoirse, etc). i like some of the other names so far too, so i won't feel bad if you don't choose mine :]
Destroyer
Teeny
Pocket
iCat
Squint
Gigi
Bet
Miumiu (pronouced mew-mew)
and last but not least... weeble.
2. Peanut
3. Miffy
4. Tigger
5. Gums
Pi
Keebler
or
Chopstick
(random, yes, but they all sound like cute little cat names to me)
Puttycat. =)
name it "7." george costanza lovers everywhere, rejoice!
kind of scary though: kitty looks exactly like my old cat, Sage o_0
Ham Hock (Hammy for short)
Satchel
Fang
Wilma
She is so wee - I love the pictures that show her size in proportion to other objects.
How about Miss Bitsy?
2. Pocket Princess
3. Swizzle Stick.
;-)
I would call her puddin'. That's what she eats, what her farts smell like, and she is sweet and smooth as puddin.
Good luck with that - I have the godzilla of cats - a twenty pound tabby called Petey - he has a full set of teeth and back claws and loves to play and lick people with his sandpaper tongue
thansk for this opportunity
This is a really cute idea. My vote is for Steve. There just aren't enough pets named Steve these days. ;)
Good luck!!
Auli'i [au lee' ee] - means dainty, cute, exquisite, Perfect, Trim, Nice
"Mewskers McMeowerston"
I'm also fond of "Hello" or "Goodbye" - so you sound crazy when you're calling the cat... "Hello! Helllllowwww? Come here, Hello! psss-psst-psst, Hello-Hello-Helloooooow!"
Mewtron
Gato de Gaso
I wanted to say "Fang", but I was beaten to it. So, I say Tully, even though it's a girl (we have a problem with proper gender names in our household of pets anyway - Eli is a girl, Blackjack is a girl, etc.), in honor of Tully's, which was on 24th, but was replaced by the inferior Spinelli's, which has probably been replaced by something else since I left Noe Valley seven years ago.
By the way, she's really cute. I wish our kittens had grown up to be, well, kittens, and not ginormous cats.
Sonja
Sillyface
Scuzzy
My kitties are teeny and two years old. One's Nadia, the other is Uiscebeatha (water of life)...Whiskey.
She looks like an Idgit. ^ ^;
Spritz
Francine
It's what we end up calling our cats, Squee and Miles. I think if I could do it over I'd just name all my cats babykitty. Especially itty bitty ones.
Or, Lola. She looks like a Lola.
Lady Eleanor Rosakitty the 1st, 'Ellie' for short. For your lovey, what about:
+Hulabulaboolabubblyboo (to be exlaimed as Hulabulaboolabubblyboo oh kitty kitty how we love you!)
+Gummo (remember that film?)
+Itty Bitty Pretty Kitty
Voxy Cleopatra.....Cleo for short.
And how sad it must be to be allergic to one's self.
Droobles
Nibbles McKatenheimer
Name him Noobcake. XD
Wow, I'm such a nerd.
Ella Fitzgerald
Cuddles the Evil Kitten
My suggestion is
kismet - meaning fate or destiny :)
I love cats!
And the name is Bijou (jewel), that´s the name of my blog too. Just I found it sekseee...
its a Malay word for a type of small white flower. haha sorry only malay-word names come to mind right now, how rare. maybe cause I know of someone who named a sewing machine this (totally unrelated).
Mocha
Moochoo
Wuvable
Coco
Belladonna
Also I think Eric is a great name for a cat, not for any reason, it's just a very catty name... even for a female.
I suggest Kate Moss. Why? "...ultra-compact, weighing less than 5lbs..." (Well, that part should be self-explanatory.) "She has absolutely no teeth" (the British aren't exactly world-reknowned for advances in orthodontics). "...has a runny nose" (Bit of a stretch from allergies to certain illicit substances, but they probably have the runny nose in common). "...a big attention whore." (supermodel tendencies!) Not sure about the smelly farts bit, but 4/5 ain't bad! Clearly, Kate Moss is the name to run with here. It just makes sense.
licks
petrol
ms. beans
Kind of an odd name but here's what I thought of:
Squidgle.
^_^
Gummy Kitty
or Gummy Cat
Pepé le Peu, after the cartoon skunk... :)
the one who always falls in love with kitties...
Amadeus?
HELLO KITTY! :P
What about Nat?
Cat-5
The Great Catsby
The Sundance Kat
@ebeth: chopstick? Chopstork!
Or if we're going with foriegn languages: Chibi (tiny/little in Jap)
i say...waffles ^_^
seems to me that if you have trouble naming pets, you can always name them after some kind of food.
works every time :)
Yasmina (jasmine, fragrant flower, makes great tea)
Rosemary (a fragrant herb, symbolizes remembrance)
Surabhi (sandalwood, fragrance)
because she's a petite, feminine kitty, as pretty as a flower. And having a fragrant name might make her a little more, er, fragrant.
candy
queen
violet
love
mime
Netty
Inès - (ee-nez) a cute french name
fetchy - just a name i like
what a fun post! good luck on finding a name. I just got a kitten Tuesday and name him Giovanni.
Chloe
Whiskers McFartenstein the Third esquire (Whisk for short)
Or perhaps the ever popular
Farty Mc Farterbean the Farting freak of ( insert your town name, street name here ) but call her Jello for short.
Dram or maybe petit
How about inch or maybe centime
Penguin
Pistachio
Nutter
Cashew
Macadamia
< I have gone a bit nutty here with the names >
How about Fee Mc Guillacuddy Bronstein of Yonkers
Ok now i am just bizarre
Oh there you go Bizarre and call her Bee or Biz for short
Well thats all I got good luck in finding the perfect name for the wee bitty puss puss...
Pandora
Artemis Fowl on Wikipedia. One of the characters is a dwarf called Mulch Diggums with very um... explosive farts. While the dwarf isn't exactly cute, the name diggums sounds kind of fun. :)
According to my cat, Ziggy, she could use a name with some serious heft to counterbalance her petiteness and lack of teeth.
every time i chose a new type of names.. for example..
people names.. japanese names or indian names..
sakura or miwako or lady cecilia
or my favourite..
LADY fart-and-sneeze-a-lot!
How about Killer? Simple, succinct, and sure to inspire fear in the neighbors.
Minime
Titch
Wee Lass
iCat Nano
She's very cute whatever the name!
Hard to name a cat or dog for that matter without meeting them in person however since the cat in question is all the way over on the other coast and in a different country I'll give it a go from here.
My name for her would be Rose. "A rose by anyother name would..." As for her farts once, she is off the antibiotics for her eyes etc her digestion should get back to normal.
My menagerie says meow, meow, meow, woof from the East Coast.
Lilliputian (Lilli for short)
Lump (from the old Presidents song!)
Wee
Bitte
Bitsie
Catpig for the attention whore trait.
Gingavitis for the dental issue.
And how could you go wrong with
Phooey
noname is a good name.
some others suitable for a cat:
- anyung ("my real name is Hello!")
- Buto (search it)
- Isis (probably found on the same page as buto)
- Bushi (cree)
- Gnari Fula
- Tony
My picks would be:
-Binx
-Scout (I always wanted a girl cat named Scout, and a big dog named Boo Radley.)
-Mouse
-Peach
-Clementine
-Hazel
-Ada (I like old names; I don't know why.)
I also second those people that suggested Pixel and Pywacket.
Hi Nick, Since this lil' darlin' is plastering your vox blog page with her cuteness. And thankyou for posting her cuteness, I think VOXIE, BLOGGET, or EMPRESS VOX would all fit. Good luck
Indy
1. Itty bitty kitty committee (could be shortened in many ways)
2. Piper
3. Hazel
4. PBS (pronounced "Pibbs", but short for Pretty but Stinky)
5. Midgie
6. Anabellle Lee McKittensen
7. Miss Kitty
8. LoverCat
9. Sweetness/Cuddles/etc. (any of the pleasant things that come to mind when you hold her)
10. Ariel
11. Schmoo (because her fur is so soft...I get called that sometimes; it's like a slurred version of "smoooooooth")
Best of luck with this -- my human had a really hard time naming me and, ten years later, the newest addition to our house. Remember, you can name cats one thing and call us many different things. As we grow on you, many new names will emerge. Don't worry about that -- we know when you're talking to us.
Meow.
:)
Name that kitten;
How about “Nibbler” in reference to the nibbler and the Nibblonians in Futurama. That would be a cool name for a toothless kitten of either sex. Of course, all cats have three names; the one we call them, the one other cats call them and the one they call themselves. Dad always mentioned that in his theory of naming Cats. He also mentioned the cat's hear the should of the letter "s" particularly well as they are adapted to hear the hissing of other cats, so "Sasha" “Sara” “Sazsu” or any other “S” laden name will be more affective for getting her attention.
Queef
Smidgin
- Fight Club: Marla (fits in with the other Voxers who felt she needed an M name)
- The Crow: Sarah (simple, but since she was the little girl in the movie, ties in)
- Logan's Run: Jessica 6 or Holly 13 (odd, but I like it; be wary of people accusing you of cloning, though)
- Willie Wonka: Veruca Salt or Violet Beauregard (I love the idea of a pet having a full name like this)
Unfortunately, I haven't read any of OSC's Ender series, so I'm drawing a blank there!
2) Toulouse LauCat (LauChat?), both tiny with health problems
3) Iota
4) Mushmouth, or better yet and my number one top choice, Ubbi Dubbi
How about 'stinky'?
