25 Meowtastic Names Cat Parents Gave Their Little Furballs That Never Fail to Amuse Vets
Giving your loved ones hilariously cute pet names is your absolute birthright and this is often demonstrated when we name our pets.
But sometimes pets can have names that raise eyebrows—if not their own, then their veterinarians'. Twitter users cracked up over some particularly creative and hilarious names cat parents have given their little furballs after author Brittany Means shared how her feline's name always sparks joy when introducing her to new people.
A lot of people with animal companions related to Means' anecdote and used the thread to share similar tidbits about their cats' names. Especially when it's time to go to the vet.
Here are 25 times the vets were left amused by the names of cats. Introducing you to:
1. Mister Daisy
This is Daisy. When we got him we thought he was a girl. When the vet asked "Well, what are you going to change his name to?" I told him "I'm not, just put a "Mister" in front of it." pic.twitter.com/sUW5mKFxcV

2. Baby Jeff
One of my greatest joys in life is when Jeff calls the vet to make an appointment and they ask for his name, and he says, Jeff. Then, they ask for our cat's name, and I watch him gather his strength before he tells them, Baby Jeff.

Montresor (Monty) and Spaghetti. Monty found Spaghetti living under our deck and they've been best friends ever since. She went missing for 75 days last year and he was distraught. Took a few days for him to believe it was really her when we found her. pic.twitter.com/pLSwiqn1Nw

7. Mr. White Chocolate Mousse Mouse Mocha Munchkin Moon
He passed away in 2017 at the age of 16, but I still get teary eyed when I tell people about White Chocolate Mousse Mouse Mocha Munchkin Moon Pie. Mr Munch, as we called him, was just the sweetest ever…and now I’m crying 😿 pic.twitter.com/NkQYzrizHS

8. Elvis Presley a.k.a The King
This is Elvis Presley. Whenever we go to the vet the staff at the front desk just writes “The King” on his paperwork and predictably says “Elvis has left the building” as we leave. pic.twitter.com/Oro6ciUgMy

16. The Terrorist
I adopted a *very* curious kitten when my sons were all home from college for the summer. Despite my best efforts but for obvious reasons, my kiddos called him The Terrorist and it stuck. Try calling the vet and giving that name for an appointment. 🤦🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/KmhmWyXd9m
