Pet Owners Share Most Purrtentious and Nerdy Cat Names They Gave Their Fluffy Felines in Hissterical Thread

When you get a kitty, you often pore over books and ask your friends for suggestions regarding which name you will give the cutie. Scratchy? Meowster? Bubblegum? There are so many different names out there, and it's hard to pick the right one that will suit your new cat. When I first adopted Spock, I had trouble thinking of a good name for him. He was a bright orange itty bitty thing, and boy was he feisty! Because I'm a Star Trek fan, I settled on 'Spock'. Then when Leo arrived at my door, a tiny tuxedo cat, I had to think long and hard again… which name would I call him when he got naughty, or when he wanted cuddles? What name fits both scenarios? Finally, because my boyfriend likes soccer, I settled on 'Leo Messi', and then just called him 'Leo' for short. All in all, I'm really happy with the names I picked for them.

Below you will find an awwdorable thread where pet owners share the most pretentious and nerdy names they gave their fluffy felines. Afterward, check out this purrfect plate of funny felines for an extra dose of catnip.
