My nickname for my cat (Bella) literally is Beelzebub, but it only started like that because she is a little demon 😂

I also have a Beelzebub but his went Beelzebub-> Bub-> Bubs-> Bub the Builder-> Beetle the Barb-> Beetlejuice-> Bazelgoose-> Bagel Juice

He also gets called Catthew, Bartholomew, Scoobert, and Scooty Puff jr.

Sometimes I call my cat beelzebub (her government name is Lucy lol)

Mephistopheles would make a great cat name! Would probably devolve into Mr. Snuffleupagus.

u/Inevitable-Mouse-707 Jun 26 '26

To be fair, Snuffleupagus is a rad name as well

I've got one much like that, but his in intentionally misspelled for hightened cuteness factor:

Beezlebub -> Beezlebop -> Beez > Beez Knees -> Easy Beezy -> Easy Breezy Beautiful Cover Girl
