NAME A COON CAT

Wilma, good idea.

0 Replies

I had a friend who named her dog "Loretta" because they were always yelling "Get Back!" when she was little.

(That's a Beatles thing for you youngsters.)

Another friend named his dog "Damn It" becauseit was a really bad dog.

I had a cat named "Mrrantz" because that is the sound she made when she cried.

Other names I have used: Monster, Rufus, Punk, Mark, Hellifiknow, Web 1, Web 2 (I couldn't tell them apart), Walt Disney, Bullseye, Scherazade.

I've had a lot of pets so I'll probably remember more good names.

I hope this helps.

(I still have my fingers crossed for Harriet Beecher Stowe.)

Re: NAME A COON CAT
I had to go right back to the start of this thread, farmerman, to refresh my memory about the looks & character of this little kitten:

farmerman wrote:

While I was out working last week, my wife, from a secret place in Maine, adopted a Maine Coon Kitten from the Calais Me. rescue league. Its a little sweetheart. Its a mostly tabby with some tortoise marks and big white bib, hairy ears, and huge white paws.
Its a lover of anything that pets or feeds it. It chirps , has a very teeny meow, and its a female kitten about 16 weeks. It weighs just under 5 pounds so its gotta weigh to go.
It needs a name, something cool. I tried some names from the Sopranos and Carmella or MEadow dont cut it.( YEH we already tried Big Pussy but somehow it didnt take)

Well know it when we hear it. So if someone skilled in cat naming could lend a hand we'd be forever grateful.

Ah, she sounds a delight! Very Happy

Got any photographs to post? (I'm not a 100% certain about the distinctive features of Maine Coons. Short hairs, are they? Confused

)
Anyways, I think the big white paws, large ears & her extraordinary chirping skills Very Happy

may lead to a suitable name: Socks? (No, too many of them already.) Sparrow?/quail?/robbin red breast? (good god, no! Laughing

)
Hmmmm ... characters who wear tuxedos? All I can think of is Fred Astaire. No. Edith Piaf? Hmmmm, maybe! Marlene? (thinking tuxedo)
Admit it, I'm hopeless, sorry! Sad

Perhaps translate some of the suggested names into Ukrainian & see if any have a good ring to them? What is big paws or white paws in Ukrainian? Or little bird?

The name Marlene did cross my mind...

But I wonder how it would sound in Ukrainian, osso? :wink:

Something not to be forgotten, farmerman: Any name you call a critter has to be one that you feel 100% comfortable about calling out in public places! I have visions of you calling: "Reebok, Reebok, Reebok!" & not feeling TOO foolish in front of neighbours. OK, so how do you feel about: "Coonski, Coonski, Coonski! Dinner! " ? I must confess to feeling a smidgeon ridiculous about my cat, Flatty! It was even worse when he was Flatcat! Embarrassed

Try calling THAT a few times! (BTW, I didn't choose the name. I refuse to take the blame! Laughing

) So OK, a name that rolls easily off the tongue & also doesn't damage your reputation in your community. :wink:

I have easily come up with the best names thus far. War Pig and Coonster.

Who the hell would not want to have cats with those names?

I am a cat-naming god.

Gus, comment about WAr Pig from the family ranged from
"Cool"-that would bve a great name for a rock band
to

"Yeah right"

msolga- Where did you ever get the ridiculous notion that cats answer to their names. Reebok was hopeless, but hed go limp and whimper queitly as you dragged him like a swiffer across the floor.
Maine coons are, long hairs with hairy ears with long tips of fur like a lynx. They also have very bushy tails that they use as mood indicators
Up=happy
Up and shaped like a question mark=really happy

Is Toonces still in the running....?

I knew this guy who had a male pup he named Checyadic.

Every time he told the dog to do something, Checyadic had to put his head down into his gonads for a second, to see if this course of action was all right with his penis.

There was an archeological excavation up in Castine Maine some years ago that had a Maine Coon Cat as the excavation mascot. On hot summer days at lunchtime when everyone was off the site, he would go down into the excavation units and stretch out on the cool freshly exposed earth. He covered most of an excavation unit (1 meter square). When everyone got back into their units they would just move him over to an unoccupied unit and he'd snooze on. A very mellow cat.

I do like the sound of Reebok!
But you didn't train him right, farmerman! ALL cats answer to their name, no matter how silly! Why, I had one called Rats & he always appeared after I'd made a fool of myself calling him in the street!

Hey, I like Nika! Very Happy
