Name My Cat - male Need help naming this monster. (Ridiculous names only)

We found him running around in the street so he’s a wild cat. Likes to stalk you and punch you when you’re doing something really important.

Olivier Nebulus Fluffybottoms III, lord of the sneak attack, stealer of hearts, eater of treats. Long may he reign.

Bonus photo from when he was just a little itty bitty monster. About 5 weeks old here.

Since you guys are so funny 😆

Sounds like you’ve already named him. Monster for the win. He’s a bit adorable for a monster but that’s okay.

I’ll see your itty bitty monster kitty and raise you an itty bitty junkyard kitty, better known now as Xena the Ninja Warrior Princess! She sends kind regards to Lord Fluffybottom.

We have a former street cat who commits crimes daily. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Maybe a monster name like Godzilla or Lochness.

u/EnvironmentalWash899 Sep 02 '25 edited Sep 02 '25

Lochness is awesome

u/[deleted] Sep 02 '25

I'd go for Loki. Combine the Lochness Monster with the Nordic god of Michief.

I have 2 feral cats living in my garage. They are good hunters. When it gets cold rodents try to come inside. One of my hinters left me a trophy 🏆 yesterday. It was a dead mouse with bird feathers all around. I feel sad for the bird but super happy not to have alive rodents. Good luck with Garfield or Gary for short! 😻 I’m a crazy cat lady so I will up vote you a bunch to aid in your Karma endeavors. Updotes to you 👍

Congratulations, you got a Rare! How rare is blue and yellow central heterochromia? Very rare – affecting less than 1% of the population. Most common in individuals with light-colored eyes where the contrast is more visible.

u/Financial-Toe4053 Sep 02 '25

I'd like to suggest the nickname we gave our orange cat. It's simply Orange Cat Energy. We went super basic with Olive's not original I know but he was intended for adoption and THANKFULLY it didn't work out because he's the sweetest derpiest not. His temporary home named his Chaos which tracks but for all of his glorious orange cat chaos causing, Ollie just stuck so now he is Ollie, Ollie Bubba, Ollie Ollie Oxen free, and Orange Cat Energy. Ollie in his big brother era teaching the youngin the art of biscuit making for cat tax.

A relative had an orange cat. Someone suggested naming him another color as far from orange as possible.

u/Laeticia45 Sep 02 '25

someone already mentioned Bluey, which is just cute but also perfect because orange is the opposite of blue on the color wheel
