This is Debbie! We adopted her as a senior and she came with this name. We didn’t have the heart to change it - I mean, doesn’t she just look like she wants to sell you a home insurance policy?
Awww she’s beautiful and I love her name, it was my late mom’s name too 🖤 The first cat I ever adopted was a 2 year old named Jason and I felt the same way, I didn’t want to upset or confuse him by changing his name so Jason it was! Started our trend for human names for cats and horror themed. (Jason’s bonded mate was a kitten named Freddy, now we have two littermates named Billy and Stu)

His name is Boris Karloff II.
He's named after a cat I had when I was a kid, who was named after the actor Boris Karloff. He was also a black cat, and we found him around Halloween.
Boris Karloff did a lot of the OG horror films in the 30s and 40s. He was also the narrator in the original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

Midna, after the companion character from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
It's very appropriate. She's just as sassy as the original Midna. 😂 She is our little companion, and she loves the Navi shaped pointer in the Wii version of the game lol. She also sticks around extra when a Legend of Zelda game or Final Fantasy VII is being played. There's other games too, but we joke that Link and Cloud must be her favourite characters lol
Cardlin Elios\~ Cardlin is from a YouTuber I used to listen to to help me sleep, he did keyboard clicks and page turning (ironically Cardlin doesn’t help me sleep 🤣). I forgot where Elios came from but I liked it! I think it was from a show I watched possibly something else!

Toby is named after the baby in Labyrinth, so that the goblin king can come get him if he's too much of a stinker. (And his sister was 14 when we adopted him. She definitely wanted to call the goblin king on him many times.)

Percy. Named after the character in Thomas the tank engine. He was my favorite character as a child. During my childhood we also had a cat called Henry who my older brother got to name when he was a kid and named him for the same reason. I just thought I'd carry on the tradition in memory of Henry.

We didn’t have the heart to change it - I mean, doesn’t she just look like she wants to sell you a home insurance policy?
L’il Debbie!
That’s one of our favorite nicknames for her 😄
I would buy insurance from her ❤️
Awww she’s beautiful and I love her name, it was my late mom’s name too 🖤 The first cat I ever adopted was a 2 year old named Jason and I felt the same way, I didn’t want to upset or confuse him by changing his name so Jason it was! Started our trend for human names for cats and horror themed. (Jason’s bonded mate was a kitten named Freddy, now we have two littermates named Billy and Stu)

It’s even funnier as we found out she’s a girl.
Animals with banal people names just crack me up for some reason. I know a cat called Kieth.
I have a cat named George. And Winston. And George’s littermate who is a void is Basil. But we call him Baz. So all three have human names. I love it!
We’ve got Ozzie, Joey, Charlie and Andy now and previously had Max, Sam, Sasha, Nicky, Jackie and Willie. We let them tell us their names but they are all people names in the end.

This is Friday. Sort of a dual meaning. Partially after Friday the 13th.

Although I've definitely seen it said that Friday (the day) actually comes from the goddess Frigg instead of Freyja, I came up with the idea to name a black cat Friday when I was like, 13, and back then I hadn't run into that correction yet lol. https://preview.redd.it/xt8os7qmmd9d1.png?width=1768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=898214642308ad9cb0e619fad8e026ac4a1b61c4

He was my favorite character as a child. During my childhood we also had a cat called Henry who my older brother got to name when he was a kid and named him for the same reason.
