On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he’s either a babyman where he’s all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he’s a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he’s hyper.

On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by ‘Frey’, but when she’s in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her ‘Turbo Cylinder’ because she’s very tubular in shape at high speed.

This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo

She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.

Sushi

My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su

I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I’ve ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn’t bury them in the litter.

Name: Blu

Nicknames:

• Blauzi
• Baunzi
• Stinki
• alte Kackbrazze

I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we’d often refer to him as “the monster”. Once you start calling your cat “Buddy monster” you’ll find you’re a very short distance from “monster of buddies I’m pulling your strings”.

Here’s Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:

Left: Alcatraz

Alcatraz became Darkness became Dennis. A three year old saying Darkness sounds like Dennis. His name is Dennis now.

Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
