The naming of pets

15 Mar 2006

I was just wondering if anyone has any amusingly named pets, if so whats the origin behind them?
When we were kids my brothers and I had a cat, my two elder brothers christened it 'Bollox' just for the amusement value of hearing our mother calling it in at night. Mother was a little naive and it took ages for her to cotton on to why we were all sick with laughter. Eventually she insisted the cat be renamed 'Skippy.
My vet has a budgie called 'Onan', because he's always spilling his seed, and I have heard of a kitten called 'Laptop'.
Any others?

I have a cat called Little One, because when we got him he was the little one (needless to say he is now the biggest confused

)
He and my other cat Rio (R.I.P) had a litter and we kept one and named it Nousha after a box of cat treats we brought them home from France.. dunno

Don't have a pet, but if you go to Ikea you can get a bed called BUNK.
