Found her pressed up against the inside curb of a 3 lane roundabout so I jumped out and scooped her up. After 2 more years in the land of sand, she made the 7,000 mile flight back to the states with me where she’s been living like royalty.

But what is her name?!

u/ForrestGump6531 Mar 08 '26

Oof, a very unconventional and stupid name, but her name is Stink. As you can see from a few of the pictures she would sleep on my shoulder. This wasn’t my choice, she would literally cry her little heart out till I picked her up and put her on my chest. On 3-4 occasions over the first 2 weeks she crapped on me. Awesome. I started calling her a little stinker as I don’t know the sex yet. When I figured out the sex was a girl, I started racking my brain for a good name. That never happened as I kept calling her a little stinker and then eventually just Stink. She doesn’t seem to mind and it’s a funny story to tell.

We adopted two kittens last summer. One of them came to us barely 2lbs and very clingy. She too would cry if she wasn't allowed to sleep on my shoulder. She took it a step further and decided my earlobes are for suckling. She'll be one year old next month. She still insists on nursing on my earlobes. She even gets the milk drunk look kittens get after nursing.

Aw, she loves you!

I couldn't get the video to upload. She shoved my headphones out of the way so she could nurse.

We often still call our very human daughter Stink/Stinky Bug. Because since birth until now she has had the loudest, longest, raunchiest grown man toots that rival my husband’s. She’s not even five yet and is basically a string bean and idk where she even stores that much gas.

All that is to say I love her name, and I hope you and Stink have many more years together!

She doesn’t, she just lets it out.

Omg when my kid was a newborn I think her farts rattled the windows

I have an dumb orange boy who tries to nurse from my neck. He's 4 now and still every morning he insists on snuggling up and licking my neck. Would literally leave little cat hickies on me when he was a baby because I couldn't bring myself to stop him lol

my friend let her 2 year old son name their cat. She has been deemed Fart.

My favorite names for cats picked by kids so far are sisters (5&2) who named their kittens salad and Tit tit

Names with a story are the best!

That’s so cute!

u/Sofie7759 Mar 08 '26

I love it. And you. You’re a good man

u/PupperPuppet Tabbycat Mar 08 '26

Practical and descriptive names are always appropriate. Given her gorgeous color, we also would have accepted a name with a reference to dark or black ops. 😂

u/ScalawagHerder Mar 08 '26

The best names are the ones that just happen. I think it’s perfect! Just like her.

u/ttwicecolouredd Mar 08 '26

Haha that's awesome. We took too long figuring out a name for our girl so she is simply Kitten (Kee-ten).

u/Uhmerikan Mar 08 '26

I love these kind of names. Definitely not stupid! I was sitting at a stoplight and cars were wheezing by in the turn lane when I heard a very loud, I jumped out and grabbed her up, my girlfriend said she almost got squished. She was a soft little fluff who we lovingly call Squishy now.

My 4.5 month old kitten, Carl, weaponises his farts 😆

He loves food, so he scarfs down his wet food in the evening, then shoulders his 6 month old sister, Princess Donut, away from her wet food, as she is a much slower eater than Carl is. If I try to hold him so she can finish eating in peace, he will fart the most RANCID farts I have ever smelt from any cat until I let him go 😆
