A year before I relented and got my kid a cat, she already has it named: Captain Pretzel
We decided we would get two so they have company, then had to match the name: Doctor Lasagna
The vets love us.

Old neighbors had a pug, we didn't chat much with them just heard her snuffling around the fence most days.
Then one night she refused to come inside and we heard "goddammit Linda, get back in the house!" A brief pause. "Linda want treats?!" And that fat little pug named Linda hustled in the back door. My husband and I nearly died from laughing.

I have two (I delivered mail for 30 years). #1. A HUGE man, muscular, wide, tall. He had a Rottweiler that matched him in size and strength. I asked him what the dog's name was. He replied "Fluffy". I burst out laughing. 😂 #2. I had a lesbian couple that had a large, friendly PitBull. I asked the name. They replied, "Butch". I blurted out, "Of course he is". We all shared a good belly laugh. They were super-cool. 😂.

I heard my coworker on the phone, and she asked the vet if she could schedule an appointment for her kitten. Its name was Eartha Kitten.

One time at the cat vet, there were two beautiful fluffy Ragdolls. One was named Princess Diana and the other was named Biscuit!
Beautiful Princess Diana and her stupid brother Biscuit.

Was in the vet waiting room once and there was a pair of big yellow eyes glaring out of a basket. The owner was this chap who looked like crocodile Dundee, who told us his black cat was feeling a little under the weather.
They were called next "Steve, please"
Five mins later we heard Steve the cat giving the vet absolute hell.

Kevin. He’s a peacock. He’s not really a pet. He showed up one day at the kennel we take our dogs to. The story is he randomly showed up one day & never left. Being an animal kennel they made sure he was taken care of. He has full reign of the property, friendly, never goes near to dogs…he’s really sweet actually. It’s very comical.
Also, a dog down the street from us named Kat.

A friend called his cat 'Grandma'. Which made for some funny call outs....

About 6 months ago I watched a YouTube video from a woman that works in a veterinary. She was listing stupid pet names and one of the ones she listed was a dog named Scoop. The majority of us in the comments were team Scoop. Scoop is out there living his best life and some internet slag tries to bring him down by making fun of him online. Scoop, if someone is reading this to you, keep on keeping on bud.

My grandpa named a cat “patty” after his sister in law because all the cat did was run around and angrily yell at everyone just like his sister in law.
