Who even gives their cats human names? I've had Light, Muffin and her twin brother Odysseus, Stanislaus, and Cat.
What insane person is out there naming their cat Lucas??????
But Odysseus and Stanislaus are human names?
Yes, they are names of humans. But nobody is named that nowadays. There arent Odysseus' and Stanislaus' in the average school year. Whost you can find a dozen Lucases, so.....
I might be an outlier, here, but I went to school with an Odysseus that went by Odie back in the 90s. Guys full name was Odysseus -McIrishname- and he was pretty much the main character from the start.
So you're afraid the teacher will confuse the cat with a random kid in class?
Why are you so opposed to it?
Well, over the years we've had; Bob, Charlotte (Charlie), Oswald (Ozzie), Ron and Frank
Bob the cat from Runescape? /s
Actually they were all Chelsea FC players! Bob (Roberto Di Matteo), Charlotte (Charlie Cooke), Oswald (Peter Osgood), Ron (Ron Harris), Frank (Frank Lampard).
They were named without the knowledge of my family, who dislike my fervent support of The Blues!
Haha nice!
I admit I'm quite biased, I grew up with cats with interesting names and kids with animal names. Always felt bad for the kids with animal names, what parent names their kids Hunter and Sadie?
So sad
Godric!!
Who names their cat Cookie/Popcorn????
I never understood these ppl. I always gave my pets a normal name bc like…how am I gonna call my dog popcorn, but I don’t mind calling him Oscar for example
Lol idk naming animals is just fun and I love giving them normal human names as much as weird names.
I've had a Harold, and a Patrick, and a Rickey.
But I've also had cats named "Rabies", Maverick, Hobbes, and currently Hachi and Yokai (I stole my name from him).
Here's hachi and yokai. Hachi is the one in the tuxedo:
