I Humbly Present To You... My Beloved Munkywunkers!

β€’89 Replies

So many of you have kindly shared posts and pictures of your pets, which always brightens my day. So, I thought I’d return the favor 😸

This is Chloe Furiosa, my 5 year old Siamese mix. I am unsure of what she is mixed with, but the vet is convinced that she’s either part moose or part Army tank due to the fact that she is 14lbs of pure muscle.

I went with the name Chloe because it just seemed to fit and she took to it immediately. Her middle name is Furiosa after Charlize Theron’s character in Mad Max Fury Road because she was a formidable little spitfire of a kitten. However, her middle name is more ironic than accurate nowadays. She is as sweet and peaceful as a cat gets. When I brought her siblings home and occasionally did cat-sitting for friends, Chloe was hissed at, spit at and swiped at. But she never retaliated. Instead, she just sat quietly (exactly like she is doing in the photo on the bottom right), looking at the aggressors calmly... kindly... thoughtfully.

So instead of calling her by her proper name, I have a myriad of nicknames for her:

Bubba, Moomoo, Booboo, Badunkachunk, Moopers, Mummy Methusala, Munkywunkers… etc., etc.

And now, the inevitable question: What is the most ridiculous nickname you have ever given a pet?

I ask this for purely selfish reasons… Mainly for assurance that I am not the only lunatic who calls her cat such outlandishly absurd names 😹

It is good to laugh, a friend of mine is getting a puppy for christmas and keeps telling me her list of names. I told to think before she names her, I am waiting to see what she settles on.

She looks and sounds like a darling! I'd call her "Darling" . Such a sweet pussycat.

in reply to RoadRunner44

You know, she might enjoy that. It would be a welcome departure from, "Awww my widdle chonky mummy moopers!" πŸ˜‚

Dont we love our moggies CJ? They give such pleasure.

in reply to RoadRunner44

Truer words were never spoken 😸

in reply to RoadRunner44

And I love the word "moggies" ❀️

I've watched "Are You Being Served" since I was little (I now own the DVD set). At one point, one of the characters had their cat referred to as moggie and I am so disappointed that that term never took off in the US

Oh good, I'm not the only one! πŸ˜…

Our ginger tabby baby gets called kitten!

One day one of the girls had asked was the kitty's name kitten and her mother had said how no she is baby and had showed her the name tag saying Baby on it!

in reply to

It's so funny how they have their "official" name and then the name they actually get called! And I love how both her official name and her nicknames are both babies (baby human and baby cat) πŸ˜„

Wow 🀩❀️ What a beautiful kitty. CJ you aren’t line with nicknames - I had a dog called Bob and he was Bubaloo, corn on the Bob and a host of other names. 😊

Corn on the Bob πŸ˜‚ I'm dying!

🀣 you know when an animal has an itchy leg and they nibble it like we eat corn on the cob - yes I’d sing it to him. πŸ˜‚

Hello beautiful adorable babies you have there hope you enjoyed last night re post on pixiepants lol have a nice day xx

in reply to

Aw thanks! The pixiepants were hilarious, but I'm still trying to piece things together... Like who were the other cats in the pants? And why does everyone give Bazzak such a hard time? πŸ˜‚

Narwhal10 in reply to

HI CJ, Bazzak is the joke master here. He’s very funny and we all make fun of each other. We are a silly lot xx

Ahh I see! Thank you for the clarification. You all are so funny! πŸ˜‚

in reply to Narwhal10

Hullo Charlie! Nice to meet you 😊 I will certainly chime in, but I'm not sure I'm witty enough to keep up. You all should have your own chat show!

Narwhal10 profile image
Narwhal10 in reply to

πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ great, gosh there are some witty comments and some β€˜in’ jokes. The background is Bazzak accidentally typed pilking instead of picking so we nicknamed him the Pilker. Each of us through google searches have found things relating to either name around the world. It includes hairdressers, study centres, beer and it just escalates. It would be so dangerous as a chat show πŸ˜‚

in reply to Narwhal10

😲 THAT'S why you guys always say pilking! I always thought it was a Karl Pilkington reference hahaha When I saw the pants, I thought they were in reference to Pilko Pants πŸ˜‚

Bazzak's real name is Barrington?

in reply to MadBunny

Thank you!

She's absolutely adorable CJasmin. That kitten pic of her top right is so amusing! I was glad that someone else has a string of nicknames for their cat! I have too and thought I was a bit odd, but now I know I'm not!πŸ‘

in reply to

Yup, you are completely normal! 😊

Hi CJ, thanks for sharing your little darling Chloe , second photo looks like she's been on night out with Tom .😁

in reply to

😹 She is a heartbreaker, that's for sure

Sooo precious!! And spoiled I’m sure πŸ€—πŸ˜

in reply to

You. Have. NO. Idea. 😹 She is the Queen of the house. But since she is such a gracious ruler, I don't feel like I'm spoiling her... It's more like I'm giving her all the wonderful things she deserves ❀️

in reply to

The Queen deserves it all. Chloe baby is humbly precious on her Throne. 🦊❀️

Absolutely fetching pics of your fabulous Munkeywunkers, CJasmin!!!! And so very clever You with your creative nicknames...all outstandingly noteworthy!!! Thanks for the happy lift to the day....She was quite worth the wait to see!!!!!

Aw so glad you enjoyed seeing her! There will be more posts in the future as I introduce the rest of my furry clan 😸

We named our cat Burrhead because when we found her behind our house she had cockleburrs all over her.

in reply to cljones

Aww, I love the name! And very original. I have never met a Burrhead. I bet she is a sweetheart ❀️ It was so kind of you to give her a home

Aw I'm glad Butch found a new, loving home with your son. And he knows how to high five?! Amazing! πŸ™€ Chloe opens cupboards and says "No" when she doesn't like something, but I've never been able to get her to obey a command. She's sweet, but very independent 😹

Thank you 😸 She is quite the magnificent floofball, yes

She's absolutely beautiful, my cat is called Lola but she has tiny white tipped paws so I call her Little Paws, my friend has a dog she calls Slightly Larger Paws πŸ˜€ the cat i had before this one was called Misty and I called her Misty Moodle xx

in reply to LittlePaws

I love all the nicknames! Have Little Paws and Slightly Larger Paws ever met? I know one is a cat and the other is a dog, but I wonder if they've ever had the opportunity to compare footsies πŸ˜‚
