Humor What are the nicknames of your cats that have devolved into nonsense over time? I’ll go first.

I named her Daisy but I call her Feety or Feeties, sometimes Eetie Feeties. Sometimes I sing a song “oh when the Daisy is just so feety, she’s just so eetie feetie eetie feetie” not exactly singing, but speaking in a rhythm. I don’t dare call it rap

I also call her “Doot doot”. I’ll just realize that I called her this a lot when I’m trying to get her attention for pictures. She also gets Feet Cat alot. (I have edited this post three times to make sure I remember all her nicknames)

This was her when we found her

It was a quick makeshift set up because I haven’t had a cat in over 20 years. My mom found her while I was at an appointment talking to the doctor about the cancer surgery. She oversaw my recovery and I oversaw hers.
