I had a big Maine Coon named Moose Waine. One of his vocalizations sounded like ‘Waine”. Until I took it to be spayed we called it Molly Weasley. Surprise, it was a boy, and because he was huge — the name Moose.
coal or cole or knightmare cuttie pie
I tried to find a similar sounding name to the rescue kitten I adopted. She was originally called “Felon” (yuck!) So we went through Helen then to Ellen and finally to Ella and with her new surname, she became “Ella McFearsome” though technically it should have been “Elle McFearsome” but then she’d have to relearn the sound of an entirely new first name.

I named my black main coon cat “Master” 😄 since cats like to think of humans as their slaves haha
Both of my cats have Disney inspired names, my first cat looks like a raccoon so I named her Meeko after the raccoon from Pocahontas, and the other one has tiger stripes so she’s named Rajah after the tiger from Aladdin.
My cat is Danicat Mew Pawtrick… Of course it’s after the legendary racer Danica Sue Patrick
My kittens are named Purrl and Purrcy. They were orphaned and bottle fed and started purring right away.

Our cat is a short hair, all white, yellow eyes, deaf cat. My 3yr old niece named him Cracker….. Saltines. I wasn’t exactly thrilled so I convinced her we needed to ADD an additional name. So now his name is Cracker Jack (but no one calls him that. They call him just Cracker) I guess it doesn’t really matter what you call him. He doesn’t know it! Lol
