Hmm. I don’t think I’ve ever had a cat named for a food….
Elliott, Gizmo, Tiny Dinosaur, Ellie, Fluffy….
Wait, no. Ellie’s (RIP) full name was Elmira Sunday Biscotti. Idk if that counts, her full name was only used when we were mad at her. Which was rare, because she was a very good kitty.
I mean, we know cats named Oreo, Biscuit, and Butter.
My Kimchi, her whole name is Kim Chiara Oscura because her coat is light in darkness.
My cats: Tom Yum (spicy sour soup), Pad Thai (spicy noodles), Som Tum (spicy papaya salad), Kai Tun (a kind of egg custard), Luna, Lana, and Lily who doesn’t like the inside world. Tis a bad place.
Food names are great.
Spätzle would be a great name for a cat, especially if it’s owner is a non german poc
As a white I’ma name my cat coleslaw now.
I have had a lot of pets, mostly dogs, a few cats after I got married, a couple of horses and sheep, and one fox. What I have learned about naming your pet is if you just watch and listen, your friend will tell you their name. It has never failed me or my pet.
Now sometimes you might get a name you didn’t expect, like Cash out the Window, call name cash. Or Tater, because potato head is too hard to say in the field. Shitty Kitty is obvious, he does NOT travel well to the Vet. Or Fuckin’ Cat, Grandma is still upset over that name. But it’s the only one he ever answered to.
So never be in a hurry to name your companion, they will tell you what it is if you only listen to them.
I’ve known many a cat named after “western” (or whatever) food. Friend of mine has one named Burger right now. There’s one on c/cats named Broccoli Cheddar.
Personally I use human names.
I use angel names, my black cat is Lucifer Morningstar
My mother named our old cat Cacerolo, which means “cooking pot” in Spanish.
Oh my babies are Meatloaf, Milk, and Mashed Potatoes. One of them is gay and the other two are just flexible.
Oh, wait, cats?
I would support this. Some cats do indeed look like a mixed salad.
Casserole (Cass for short) is unironically a good cat name.
I know someone who has a dog named Casserole!
"These are my fur babies, Cass and Cole!
They’re a bonded pair."
Casserole and coleslaw? Interesting mix but I don’t judge
You can make a casserole out of anything
Especially with the Garfield/lasagna connotations
Is a lasagna a casserole? 🤔
Lemmings, we must philosophize!
Or is a casserole a lasagna?
🤯
100%
I’ve always thought of a casserole as a one pan dish served from the same dish it was cooked in. Lasagna absolutely fits that in my book especially if it’s one of the quick lasagnas using a jar of sauce and oven ready noodles.
I’m the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.
Or role for short
Those are pretty good cat names.
I am Chinese and I have had cats named Honey, Sugar, Maple and Pepper.
What do you mean by, “I’ve HAD cats”? What did you do to all those cats?
Unfortunately cats do not live as long as humans. So if you want to read this correctly, I had a cat named Sugar and do not have them anymore because they are dead.
Hope that helps.
My Asian neighbour had a white cat called Sugar too.
Hope they had a great life. You’ll meet them again one day.
In Valhalla! Drinking mead with maidens and eating as much mice as you could! Forever!
Did the cat die in battle?
All cats die in battle.
I struggle to believe the reaper would successfully take our oldest without a fight.
That only accounts for one. What became of the rest of the cats?
They are all dead, except Pepper who should have died in 2005 but is actually right behind you.
SHRIEK!!
Git outta mah swamp!
I have some bad news for you friend…
One of my cats was named Wasabi by the shelter. Her name is Noodles, so I’m not sure if I helped or not.
Lateral step.
Food names are cute on pets regardless of origin! I would totally name a cat “Butter” or “Paprika” or something.
Used to work at an animal shelter. We had a cat named Patty have four kittens, so naturally I named them Lettuce, Pickles, Onion, and Bun. Every once in a while I’m tickled by the fact that I got away with naming a cat Lettuce
Your were only 2 away from a Big Mac. Cheese would work, but I’m not sure about a kitten named Special Sauce.
“Letti” or “Letty” would be such a cute nickname for Lettuce :3
There’s a Scotty-Chihuahua puppy who’s a regular at the local dog park here, and named “Snack Pack”. He’s the most adorable li’l goober! 🥰🥹😱
Snack Pack?! It’s perfection, no notes. Super cute!
He gets all excited whenever he sees one of his favorite people or dogs, and does this joyous, silly head roll + neck whip + with his li’l tongue to the side and grinning. He’s ~2 handfulls big. My heart could explode from the cute. 🤣🥰
Yeah seeing a pet named Sandwich or French Fry would not even cross my radar except to coo over the animal lol
French Fry! Hehehehe it’s too cute
Get over here Liquid Prep, did you do this?!
My friend’s cat was named Bagel, very strong and handsome guy
My grandmother had a beagle named Bagel
I’ve got a cute pair of Siamese mixes named Alfredo and Toast. Toast’s points are darker and Alfredo is super silky. And then there’s the orange Cornish Rex named Jugemu Jugemu Go-Kō-no-Surikire Kaijari-suigyo no Suigyō-matsu Unrai-matsu Fūrai-matsu Kū-Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yaburakōji no Burakōji Paipo Paipo Paipo no Shūringan Shūringan no Gūrindai Gūrindai no Ponpokopii no Ponpokonā no Chōkyūmei no Chōsuke or just Paipo for short. It’s a mouthful but not of food.
Just saying that name out loud pings a dozen operators in Hell.
Just don’t let him get near water.
I’m trying to think of a food that would be a bad cat name and I can’t.
Ketchup, Balogna, Frittata, Beans, even Worcestershire. These are all acceptable.
Might even name my next cat Broth. Who could even stop me?
Yorkshire Pudding? Sauerkraut?
Sauerkraut is an amazing name!
Yorkshire pudding is whimsical.
Had a dog named Butters. He was adopted as a senior and couldn’t hear well so it didn’t matter what we called him. We just kept the name he had.
I can’t find his pic right now. I think I’d have to reboot into Windows to find it.
Taco the cat!
Almost…
TacoCat
Just last night we started calling our cats Crabcake and Cheddar Bay Biscuit. It started as simply mishearing what one of our kids said (heard crabby cakes instead of the normal paddycakes [a further nickname from Padfoot]) and ballooned from there. So now our cats are Red Lobster representatives.
I named one Ginger but fuck that asshole. He wants to sit on my bladder at 5:00 a.m.
I’m pretty sure it’s a war crime
I’ve had five cats, and stayed at friends houses with more. I can assure you that’s just standard cat operating procedure. The groans let them know you’re still alive and going to feed them
If I ever get a dachshund I’m calling it “Selsig”, which is Welsh for “sausage”.
Butter dog: it’s the dog with the butter
Butters the cat you say, have I got a song for you.
Pepper, ginger, cookie.
In France: but Casserole??! (it only means pan, like the sauce pan)
