One of the best things about having a cat… is getting to give them a name. Yes, the cuddling is amazing, and the funny zoomies in the middle of the night always make us laugh, but to be able to call out: "Ootsli Gootsli, time for food!" is the best. Cats always have the best names given to them - that's a fact. Cats' names can be ridiculous or extremely human, cats' names can be confusing AF to vets, cats' names can be hilarious inappropriate. Choose carefully, friends, because eventually, your cats will learn their names, and they will start responding to even the most ridiculous ones.

And we know that you guys - the pawsome ICanHasCheezburger audience - know this for certain. So, when we asked you to tell us about the funniest cat names you've ever heard of, we really shouldn't have been surprised that y'all simply listed your own cats' names.
