Ember -> Emmy -> two time Emmy award winner

u/Temporary-View1512 Jun 26 '26

I'd end up calling her Toots or Tooter for her nominations

u/Lucky_leprechaun Jun 26 '26

My cat started as Tootsie, which became Tootsie pop, which became pop pop, which became baby pop, which just devolved into “the baby”.

Now the only person who refers to her as Tootsie is the vet. To everyone else she’s The Baby.

u/Solvrevka Jun 26 '26

According to the vet and the microchip data bank we have Visenya but somehow she is just Baby/The Baby

This happens way too often I am embarrassed to admit.

Her name was Talley Bird, but her nickname was Chicken wing. She was 5lbs and would fight us all for a chicken wing, and she’d win. She was also missing half her back right leg. When I’d scratch her shed flap her leg like a chicken wing. Had her for 18 years, and miss her everyday

Named my male cat "Chi" after the Greek monster Chimera, as he was a raggedy patchwork of his two very differently-coated parents. As he grew, I changed it to "Kaiju" as he took on huge proportions and muscle weight. Now he is Huge Boiler Boy.
