This foster cat basically named himself

So I've been fostering this absolute unit of a cat for two weeks, and I've been stressing about what to name him. Tried everything from "Muffin" to "Sir Whiskers McFluffington" (yeah, I went there). Then yesterday, this dude straight up knocked my entire spice rack off the counter, looked me dead in the eye, and proceeded to roll around in the oregano like it was catnip. Zero remorse. Pure chaos energy. That's when it hit me – his name is obviously Chaos. Not because I chose it, but because HE chose it. Every day since, he's lived up to it perfectly. Destroyed my favorite plant? Chaos. Somehow got stuck in a paper bag for 20 minutes? Also Chaos. I swear some animals just come pre-programmed with their names. You just have to pay attention to their chaos energy levels. #Pets #Cats #fostercat

We adopted our latest kitten via fascistbook(Facebook) a number of years ago. We were the third family to take him in. Once I got him home, I let him out of the box he came in. The guy I got him from didn’t know what his name was. So, I started calling him different boy cat names. He ignored me. Then I said Rocky. He turned his head and looked at me. So, introducing our pied panther Rocky.

I adopted a family of four a year ago. Mom and her 3 semi feral kittens. They started off extra spicy. So I named the whole family after hot peppers. Momma is Ghost Pepper, Habanero, Thai and Carolina Reaper AKA Char. I can finally pet all of them.

I hate to be THAT person, but I garden and have pets, so I'm always checking for toxicity of plants. "According to the ASPCA, oregano is toxic to cats. It should not be given orally or topically, fresh or dried, or as part of other foods." Just fyi. YMMV. And Chaos IS a cute name. ❤️🐈‍⬛

years ago when our girls were young, we took in a kitten the neighbor kids had found. couple of weeks went by and no name. one day he was terrorizing our older cat as only a kitten can do. I said that he's really causing troible for Penny. both the girls shouted "that's it. his name is Troubles".

my cat's name is Sniffles.. I named her that because she sneezes all the time and she thinks she's a squirrel...

I have a cat I rescued from a friend his name was turbo. But he quickly got a name change to little bas…. Because if you leave any food unattended he’s on it we’ve shortened his name to LB there are many variations of his name but he is love bug ,sleeps curled up in my arm at night !💕
