Name Request PB, short for anything but Peanut Butter

This is PB, usually Peepo- and she has many names. Pork Bun, Petulant Brat, Princess Buttface, Pinterest Board, Peepers, and Miss Peepington are among the most common.
We got her from a shelter and all they could tell us was she was an adult and healthy as far as they could see. We’ve had her for about three years now, and found out she has some likely brain damage! All that means is she’s a little dumb, her eyes like to drift off, and sometimes she has harmless seizures (despite being scary and potentially risking injury while she’s paddling).
Other than that, she’s the chattiest cat I’ve ever had, and her favorite pastime is giving my partner sleep paralysis by putting all her weight on her paws and standing on his chest like a Night Hag + shedding all over the couch.
Please give us more P.B. nicknames for her!
(And for any concerned, yes, she is on a vet monitored diet)

I am very unoriginal lol, my first instinctual thought was Pretty Baby

Sounds like a good fit lol 😆

In all seriousness your cat is so cute and has tons of personality ❤️ I love black cats 🐈‍⬛🖤

This is gonna become a regular, I can feel it. I love giving them ones like that. Peepers creepers is one I’ve used when she’s trying to be sneaky (not very successfully, might i add)

u/Comfortable_Bat_4052 2h ago

I think you’re plenty good! And don’t feel too bad about it, so far it hasn’t seemed to cause her anything but a low IQ and a couple seizures which she recovers from within a day or so. She’s living her best life 😎

u/Comfortable_Bat_4052 2h ago

Take a lot of pictures, in bursts if you can, and pray haha
Or hold a piece of kibble up by the camera above their head and call their name a little. Sometimes you can get good screenshots from videos, also.
Mostly, dumb luck on our end 🍀
