Giving a name to your cat is no laughing matter. After all, you're going to call that cat the same name for the rest of their life, so you have to think of not just a good name but a great nickname as well. It's almost like naming a child. The name must be chosen with care and with the future in mind, but humor is also welcome. After all, some of the best pet names are the silliest ones. From cats to super cute ferrets, names can be pretty important

That's why this Redditor took to the internet to get name ideas for his newly adopted stray cat. With a jowly demeanor and a very cute grandpa vibe, this cat is an itty bitty bundle of joy. This is exactly why we have a soft spot for elderly cats. In any event, the internet definitely delivered by providing tons of names for this elderly cutie pie. We hope this fellow sincerely enjoys the name suggestions, and if you also have a good idea drop it down in the comments below!

    Oy, hello mate! Pip pip, cherrio! Is it just us or does this cat resemble a regal British gentleman with his tuxedo coloring, weathered features, and cute yet grumpy demeanor. This little guy commands a throne to nap on all day long, and he totally deserves it, such a cutie pie!

    Font - vinesofivy Some old man name like Herbert or Clarence or Elmer or Theodore. Or Sir something equally old man but regal( sir reginald or sir Douglas) or something ridiculous (sir fancy pants or something clearly funnier). His coloring is fabulous and very man with a curly mustache/old school lawyer with a pocket watch in his vest. Very adorable and distinguished. No matter what you choose, I think he's destined for many names

    We don't fully understand why we have the tendency to name our pets sir or ma'am as if they're royalty, but we sure do love it all the same. We know what it sounds like listening to someone tell a story about a pet with a fancy or royal name, and it's hilarious.

    Vertebrate - Alorxico Gus is the cat at the theater door. His name as I ought to have told you before, is really Asparagus but that's such a fuss to pronounce that we usually call him just Gus.
