Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two...)

The calico: Mew

  • Meow
  • Meeeeoooooooow (when she is sad & I have to call her)
  • Ms. Majestic (or something like that)
  • Big Mew
  • House tiger

The void: Tommy

  • Thomas (his official name, when he's majestic)
  • tom (when he's derpy)
  • ROTUND/Massive object
  • Le creature
  • Fat Tommy/Tommy Fat/My-Fat-Tom/My-Tom-Fat (yup it's just shuffling words)

Both:

  • Massive fluffs
  • Le chonkers (or something like that; one came in as a skinny stray & the other was a baby, but they are both very well-fed now)

Tommy is on a diet I promise

Two cats in a bathroom, both looking left.

We have two brothers. Their names are Rocky and Rambeaux.

We call Rocky "Rockity Pockity Man" and Rambeaux is "Rambles Wambles Tambles Mambles."

She's tiny, she's a drama queen and if you pet her the wrong for 3 picoseconds, you'll get the teeth.

Nyx, but every cat I have is either "kitty" or lately "monkey"

I'm at work with a new-ish phone so I can't pay the cat tax, I don't take many pictures :/

Fully Loaded Potato is perfection.

Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.

The standard issue one is Morpheus, and the orange is his younger sister (from a different litter) Avocado Toast. Together they are the international pop duo Morphy and Toasty (don't have anything sillier than that, though I will try to use any that get suggested).

Taco Bob often gets called Robert or Turkey Bird

Pliny is usually just Pliny or Pliny Kitty.
