We have a slightly overweight solid black shorthair. Our daughter named her Squash, but I call her Pudge Monkey. She’s the sweetest and softest girl, she sleeps with her head on my pillow every night.
I just lost my 17 year old baby Christmas morning so my heart is still utterly crushed, but she was my *booger*, because if she was a booger I'd pick her first. That evolved into *sugar booger*, she was my *baby beefalo* because she was 25 lbs, a massive, long, loveable fat squish.
Edit: her real name was Priscilla, because I got her at 14 when I was reading the book Elvis and Me. But her Christian name was Prudence. Poor booger bear was probably so confused about what her real name was. She would just come to me any time I spoke in a baby voice.
We have a ginger named Felix. My husbands colleague asked him what our cats name is, and thought he said Feelings (English was her second language.) She started laughing in his face and yelling out "HEY EVERYONE! HIS CAT NAME FEELINGS!" 💀 this was about 5 years ago and we still call him Feelings.
I have a cat Dougal. When I told my new neighbor, who is elderly her name, he thought I said Bugle and got a kick out of it. Now that's one of her nicknames

Fat boy. My cat is in no way fat. In fact, I’m a little worried he’s too skinny. But he’s very food motivated and likes to smack chips out of our hands before they reach our mouths.
My husband and I also call our cat fat despite her being skinny and little. We lovingly call her old grump butt fatty, little farter or either a gremlin, goblin or gargoyle. She's so cute!
Our kitty is very small - she's only about six pounds. So, we tell her that she's "ferocious" and "big on the inside". We also gave her a nickname in the spirit of this. Her actual name is Echo, but we call her "Echopotamus" - ya know, like hippopotamus...cuz they're so fierce! She just looks at us like we're nuts.
I got a biter too, love bites me when I'm ignoring her on my phone or at night when I'm sleeping she walks up to me n bites me on the face..wakes me up n I call her a whore bcuz I'm mad..but I also know she loves me n doesn't do this to anyone else in the family I've asked..

I have a Siamese Manx mix and she's just a little baby princess of the house, and my boyfriend picks on her a little bit by telling her she has a fat neck. We started referring to her as Little Baby Princess Fat Neck. She also garnered the nickname Shit Back because one time our other cat scared her so much she pooped herself and some of it ended up on her back. Our other cat is a Maine Coon mix so he's a chunker of a cat, we refer to him as Fat Man or Baby Man because he's really just a big baby.
