I love this thread, I'm so glad it isnt just me!!

Here are mine and hubby's
1. Rinka - cat milk
2. Reesh - cat - all cats are called this, ie 'oh look at that lovely reesh in that window' etc
3. Pooching - what Cleo does, padding, but suckling at the same time. And to save my clothes she has an old t shirt of mine, which is a 'poocher'
4. Booshing - swiping/ hitting. ie 'dont boosh your sister, you naughty reesh'

swampmaxmum · « **Reply #28 on:** July 20, 2007, 13:45:47 PM »

can anyone explain why a cat with a daft name like Swampy should even need nicknames?

they change too for no apparent reason. Used to be lambchop or Chicken (Not very veggie lol) but recently he's Mr Foo or Ofta-bofta-foo. He's deaf too which gives a whole new meaning to White Coat Syndrome

Max has been called The Sheesh (Maxsheesh-baksheesh) and he doesn't have ears, he has oggies.
OH tolerates this so there's hope for you singles yet! Mind you, I've spent years training him

We don't have paws in my house - we have pawsies. Clawsies on the pawsies

Maybe that's why I'm single too.

I call Charlie Boo Baa As in - "What's my wee Boo Baa doing??"

-"Let me see they tiny Pawsy waws."
-"Hi angel pangel bums."
- "Who's been a good Loo Laa while we were out!?" (Loo Laa can aso be adapted to Floo Flaa)
-"Are you hungry chicken licken?"

We are all nuts

And then lots of words with kins, catkins, cake, pie added on the end.

I do that one too.

I like my 'w' double words - does everyone else do that too? You know, Mosi Wosi, Jaffa waffa, munchkin wunchkin, cutie wutie, tiger wiger....

They do look at me like I've gone mad but so long as the words are accompanied by cuddles and kisses they're ok with it.

em1209 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 20, 2007, 10:00:36 AM »

Agree too that it is everyone else who is crazy

. They just don't know what they're missing, there's a whole new language out there!

We have, well, I have, OH is slowly coming round to it all .....

Donuts as in Donut Paws as in big, round, fluffy, cutsie paws "oh look at your big donuts aren't they cute"

A combination / variety of snuffy, snufflekins kind of meaning cats in general and being cute and cuddly, hard one to describe really.

And then lots of words with kins, catkins, cake, pie added on the end.

There's talk in another post about writing a book, we should write a dictionary too

My fave word at the minute is tortrude (mixture of tortie and Gertrude (for Gerti)

I like name merging too

I like to keep things even and fair so if I start calling Lucas 'Lu-Lu' then I have to shorten Riley's name to 'Ri-Ri'. Unfortunately for Lucas it works the other way too, he has the 'ley' part of Riley added to his name. His new name is Luc-Ley - pronounced Luke-Lee - I tell him it's his trailer trash name and say it in a trailer trash voice

I always think the cats must just look at me in disbelief when I talk to them like that... its fun though

You just reminded me Helen - I also say the word "loo-lee" for toilet... like "awww do you need the loo-lee?"

Ruth - yup, agreed its everyone else that is crazy!

Cheesecat · « **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2007, 07:56:56 AM »

Poodlay = tickling kitties on tummy
Scribble = scratching (eg "aww are you having a scribble?")
Mooli = just another word for "cat" (me and OH call them moolies alot)
My fave word at the minute is tortrude (mixture of tortie and Gertrude (for Gerti)

We go in for the baby talk alot too... "awwww kitty want schnugglay? awww is she a cuddlebum? Liccle mooli.." etc

at you lot.

Mine's "Toggling" - it's what Pad does when he leaps up at the jackets hanging on the coat rack and pulls on the toggles before dashing upstairs like his tail's on fire

ccmacey · « **Reply #12 on:** July 20, 2007, 01:02:48 AM »

I do have one-

Scuddley bum, this is when the cat is rolling on the floor and wanting a good old belly rub.

I've heard of scritching before on another forum - never been quite clear on what it means!

I tend to go in for the baby talk myself

eg cuddly wuddles for cuddles.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #3 on:** July 19, 2007, 15:50:51 PM »

cadging - begging demanding human food

bubby - showing their belly

tretched - stretch for mummy

puddlewaddle - well..erm... going to toilet

clarenmax · « **Reply #2 on:** July 19, 2007, 15:41:49 PM »

Excellent idea for a thread Helen

ninging When they bite their back feet
dibbing Generally batting things around with their paws, knocking things of shelves etc
pooting When they poot around, just kind of wandering around with no real purpose
oobying See 'pooting' above, means much the same!
tummyticks Fairly obvious, tummy tickles

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #1 on:** July 19, 2007, 15:28:05 PM »

I have realised from posting on here that I have lots of made up cat words that perhaps mean the same to other people (only crazy people on here though) but they would certainly not be in the dictionary.

My words are:

Scritching - I would describe this as using your fingers like the claws on a toy grabber machine to scritch a tummy or back.

Scodge - The is like a llittle rub on the head as in 'Do you want Mummy to scodge your head'?

Scatch - This is a very gentle scratch, the skin wouldn't be broken with a scatch

Biclits - Biscuits of course

Baby juice - water/kitty milk

So.... Did anyone know what those words meant before reading the description?! Do you have your own special made up cat words too?
