    My little black boy cat is Pickles too! Normally nicknamed as Pickly head, Picks and For God's Sake Shift out of the way!

    My other little boy is Monty - aka Monty head and Stop Scratching, lol

    A friend of mine called her cat "Stoppit" - I think that's fab :)

    When Woody and Archie are rampaging through the house they are the gruesome twosome or the terrible two. I will have to remember Demon Duo to add to the list.

    Shadow will answer to Bugger (excuse my french) cos I was always calling him a "little bugger", he started to think that was his name (he was a naughty boy) He is also called 'Bad Shad' (cos it rhymes). Sadly these days he is too old to be naughty.

    My youngest, Archie - 4 months, is called Archibald when he is naughty.

    Woody is normally Good Wood as he is such a lovely natured cat.

    Mostly, all we do is add 'ie', 'y', 'ey' etc onto our pets' proper names - well my wife does.... mostly :)

    We did have 5 cats for a lot of years (last one died a coupla yeras ago)
    Bart - would sometimes get 'Bartie'
    Gizmo - would get 'Giz', or 'Gizzy'
    Figaro - almost always got 'Figs' - but sometimes 'Slinky', because he was.... very.
    Joni - occasionally got 'Bitch' - because she was one :D
    Frankenstein - spent most of his life being called 'Frankie' - But sometimes I'd call him 'Wonky' (because of a birth defect, his left front paw was a funny shape, also the left side of his mouth, and his left eye had flecks of green among the brown.

    Currently have a dog - 'Stig' - which my wife often calls 'Stiggie'

    Gizmo and Bookend (all black cats ) both get called , bugger lugs, smelly bottom ( when they fart) daddies little angels, scrumptious little fluffy bunnies

    Bookend loves it and rolls over for her tummy to be tickled

    Gizmo , well it depends on her mood, sometimes she looks up at me as if to say " you idiot , did you know I was sleeping before you started talking to me in that stupid baby voice and woke me up, now pi** off and get me some snacks to say sorry "

    EDIT:

    I forgot Little Sh*t - when she digs her claws in for attention:eek:

    Real name: Fig

    Nicknames: Figgy, My Baby, Mr Fig, Robo-Fig, Figgly Mog

    Nicknames when he's naughty: Cooking Fat, Little B*****d (said of course with a defeated smile because he's just too gorgeous to actually be mad at even when he knocks a glass off the table because it was there and he could). :D

    Zebedee is Zeb the Web or ZebWeb because he likes to go out exploring, and comes home covered in cobwebs and general garden debris.
    Angel is Ange the Strange or StrangeAnge - she's still a bit aloof.

    I sort of wish that when we adopted Angel we'd changed her name to Florence, then they'd have been Florence and Zebedee (Magic Roundabout) or Zeb and Flo.

    mine used to be called Psycho because she was basically, now she is an only cat and with just me and my partner she is a softy so it doesn't seem right..

    Now she gets called Poobag or poobsly because she has this habit of making the whole flat smell when she uses the litter tray and she seems to go rather a lot! She also gets called Clemmie cat (which is slightly nicer than the others) she occasionally gets called Clem Clem as well.

    My cat (who we lost two weeks ago aged 18) was named after the tiger in the Jungle Book - Sherekhan. Throughout the years he aquired many nicknames, the most common of which (Sherie) was a shortened abbreviation of his full name.

    He was also called Wearie, in later years, when he began to slow down as it rhymed with Sherie, and his last nickname was Woo, (Or Wooee) which came about when my nephew, then aged 5, went outside to whistle for him to come in and all that came out was 'woo' - it stuck and it became a nickname. We used to say a rhyme - Sherie-dearie-Werie-Woo - encompassing all his nicknames and he answered to every one of them. He was a lovely old boy and I miss him terribly. His memorial plaque and his ashes inscription all say his full name - Sherekhan - but to us he was always Sherie, or Woo.

    My Tabitha responded to Tabitha or Tabs. I sometimes called her 'Tabby-Cat' and she used to look at me in astonishment :p

    I never shorten Bernard - he knows his name well.

    Millie and Lucy don't really respond to their names very well (I sometimes try using their original rescue names but they've never responded to those either). Millie gets called Millie-Moo and Lucy is Lucy-Lu but I may as well call them Puss and Puss for all the notice they take. :p
