Nickname When Walking On Me In Bed At 4:00 AM - Dammit! Stop That! (he also likes to nibble feet)

Wonderful kitties, both of them. Nice to finally see Linus.

But wait till Bucky sees that you call Yoshi monkey...

bhgvnog - is that some kind of holiday drink?

Linus is cute in a cat like way.
Yoshi is cute in a white one minute, brown the next, different colored eyes, cat like way..

Candy said...

Ok, do you have any idea how long it would take me to do that for all my cats?

I mean really, I just call them all, Hey you bastard stop that, anyway....

Katy Barzedor said...

The Secret Actual Name is a nice touch.

Have these two cats ever expressed a desire to date each other? Meet over a little catnip and casual purring?

SassyFemme said...

I'm going to have to do that this wekeend for my cats. Linus looks like a slimmer, sleeker version of my Sassy cat, who's secret actual name is Tissue Box Head, for reasons you can probably picture!

BFE - the passion between Yoshi and Linus knows no bounds - I have found cat food on the keyboard after their late-night IM sessions, what with the 3-hour time difference.

Opera Gal said...

Jess Rabb - Linus thinks dammit stop that is hids middle name.

Awwwwww, kitty-fix! No, not GET your kitty FIXED... although I'm not opposed to that either..., it's just that 3 out of 5 humans in my household are deathly allergic to cat dander, so though I adore them, I can't live with them. Sorta like men, come to think of it... *ahem* Anyhoo... it's nice for me to get a kitty FIX like this! Thanks!

Jeanie said...

Oh my god. I'm going through cat withdrawl. Thanks for giving me a little feline dose of love!

Isn't it funny how they end up with all the nicknames . . . Maggie has a lot too. Penny was usually just "Fatty."

KULA said...

Kranki, I am holding you completely reponsible for my planning to get a cat after New Year's. YOU. ARE. RESPONSIBLE.

hemlock said...

I love Yoshi. She's gorgeous.

I'm stealing this meme for future use (ie. when I lack the creativity to come up with something to post...oh so often)

LadyBug said...

Awwww, so sweet.

Kassi Gilbert said...

This is cute! My kitty has a few names/nicknames as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I think cats are more like "personalities" than they are pets.

Udge said...

Turn on the printer! that'll teach him to lie down on the job.

Amanda B. said...

I wanted to say, YAY LAST WEEK OF RADIATION!!! Woowoowoo! Love you kiddo.

Opera Gal said...

udge - that would imply he was getting any work done to begin with - Linus is particularly good at not getting work done.

loverfishy said...

Yoshi is just too cute! I liked this idea and had to use it for my 3 furbabies- you can find it at http://www.livejournal.com/users/loverfishy

squirl-I was worried what Bucky might say but decided to fess up anyway.

spoonleg-Oscie can totally guest post here anytime.

happyandblue2-Yoshi is a cat for a seasons.

jessica rabbit-your meme would be a whole book!

bucky-it would be a strange platonic kind of love as they are both desexed. But sweet none the less. I can't believe you left the Monkey thing alone!

sassyfemme-can't wait to see that.

whfropera-that cracks me up.

eclectic-that is a shame but you have puppy love which is just as good.

jeans-more cat! STAT!

sharkey- am sure there are days that go by where the word Yoshi doesn't ever leave my lips.

dima-I DARE YOU TO GET A CAT!!

hanni-you should do this for your cats.

leafgirl77-yes. All the creative part is done already with the nicknames.

twisted u-NO! I didn't know you had cats. Cool.

ladybug-thanks.

kassi-Yoshi is my child. I mean that honestly. I guess the nicknames are kinda cruel now.

udge-isn't that funny!?!?

whfropera-hey, napping is really hard work.

loverfishy-I saw your three cuties. So lucky!
