This is a question Accidental animal cruelty

I once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.

Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

Kittens
For the last few months i've desperately wanted a kitten.
Every time my mum writes out a shopping list I sneakily add the above to it but as yet have had no luck.

She says it's because we live on a busy road. I think it's because I want to call the kitten Toasterface.
Apparently that counts as abuse.

Good name
my cat is called Shane. hearing my mrs calling for him just brings laughter and yet more laughter. And at the Vets.

Stick with Toasterface, he/she cat will love it.

I was "spiked" with booze and others before i gave in to more kittens. Then i was the one up at 4am as "it sounded like a sad kitten noise...." (we are about 65m from them at the other end of our very long house - in hindsight i heard nothing)

They are so fluffeh

As time goes by
I just keep thinking up more kitten names.
It'll either be Toasterface, Jeremy Wigwam or Skylon.

I've told my mum she'd better hurry up and just buy the cat before any other weird labels enter my head.

Toasterface?
Try these: all current beasts

Splat (had the runny bum disease when a cute fluffy kitten)
Ripley
Jones (Alien crew)
Ripple (small Ripley)

In the past I can add Waldorf the gerbil and Archie the ginormous white rat. God I was a pretentious little fucker in my time...


However a friend owns Hairton Senna the cat...

Cat names
I used to have a cat called Dillon (actually Dillon belonged to my ex mother-in-law, but we sorted of adopted each other). Dillon was female.

I also had a cat called Tipsy. Not because I used to get her pissed, but because she was found at the municipal tip.

My cat is called Doris,
because that is an ace name for a cat. I love Resident Loon's suggestion, though! :D

I know a guy who knows a guy with a cat called Bastard. That's an ace name for a cat too.

My own cat
has a real name- Josephine. I've always insisted on giving pets proper names, rather than Fluffy or Tiddles or whatever idiotic sounding name little old ladies give them- I've always felt that if they were a member of the family, they needed a real name.

Of course I also give them nicknames like Dirtbag or Flabbycat, but they do have real names.

A friend of mine was dating a woman whose cat was named Doofus Doodles. The moment I heard that I knew that it wouldn't work out between them...

To be honest
It's probably best that I get a cat as quickly as possible, otherwise i'm just gonna end up giving these names to my future children.

When my parents got their first cat
They decided they wanted an Easter themed name for him, for twas Good Friday they picked him up.

For about a week, my Dad insisted he be called:

Egg.

Genius.

names
my fiance claims to want to name our firstborn Microwave Brick. He has reasons, but I'm not going into that now.

Maybe you'd get along with him, Lollylegs. We could enrol our kids in the same school and halve their abuse?

Non relatedly... my big cat is Bad Catz Maru, after the Sanrio angry penguin character, and because he says Maruuuuuuuu when he talks.

My pet history (covering many years):

Pooflake (cat - obv)

Dog (dog)

Strangely Brown (Dog)

Jesus Christ (Fish - promoted from Pope John Paul II when I boiled it and it survived)

Alan (Rabbit - when he was introduced to the household I decided to name him after the first goalscorer in the Newcastle vs Spurs FA cup semi we were watching at the time yonks ago. Suffice to say, 'Super' Alan Shearer did the business...but the rabbit was very close to being called Temuri Ketsbaia)

Flash...AHHHH! King of the impossible (Fish)

The intense humming of evil (Fish)

Plebian (Hamster)

Gert-bucket (fat fish)

Sigue-Sigue sputnik love missile F1-11 (Rabbit)
