    I assume everyone has a variety of nicknames and/or phrases for their pets, so I’d like to hear them lol

    For Mickey:

    • “who made you so cute/pretty” usually while he’s headbutting my nose.
    • “mickstar”
    • “stinky puss brain” after he goes loo
    • “buttlicker” said like the family guy sketch “butt scratch-ER”
    • “how you doin’” this a call and response, he usually responds with “mrr-rah!”
    • “monkey/possum/koala” when he gets picked up
    • “big puss” this was the name of my first cat who was a year older than me, so it’s a bit of a homage but also bc Mickey is like 7kh of pure feline chaos lol

      Alfie became Alfa-reenie, which turned into Reenie.

      He also gets “OMG WHY” when he insists on licking my face.

      “Whiny bitch” is also a common one.

      Mr Woof had a bit of a compulsive face licking problem when I first got him, so I had to advise him quite frequently that “no one likes a dog who can’t hold his licker”. It sunk in eventually, I haven’t had to use that one for years.

      Oreo is otherwise known as Little Miss, Shiny Girl and Bowl Cat.

      Pepper is Pepperoni, Roni, Little Cat and Spicy Cat. She has her own song about being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.

      Foxy is Fluff, Fluffle, Mr Flufalufagus, Ginger Fluff Sponge or the Big Fluff.

      Betsy is Betsy boo, Puppy, Puppy Wuppy, Rocket Dog or Miss Barks a lot.

      None of them ever get called their proper government names.

      I give my little dog a new name every day. Today it’s Princess. If he pees on the carpet it’s Mr Pissy Pants for a week.
