Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.

Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒

My cats name is Jimmy and sometimes I call him Oggy, especially when he's chasing bugs (no cockroaches here but I hope you get the reference)

Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot

Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains

Gusfraba (gusi, gus) and genebre (gine)

A sphynx cat and a tortoiseshell cat laying next to each other on a sunny windowsill.

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.

One of my cats is called Pipping but I call him Chonky (He's actually not chonky but behaves like he is.)

We have a runt who barely weighs 7 pounds but eats like a fatass. When I do the rounds filling bowls, she follows me to eat the absolute freshest food just placed.

I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.

The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”

The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”

Dexie, or Puddin Poopers

Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".

Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.

My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.

One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.

Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.
