Unusual names for pets...

As kids we had a huge black and white long haired cat called Bushy, because he was a feral who decided a regular feed was better than living in the bush. He was so large he used to push me over when I crouched down to pat him. lol.

The neighbours had a cat called Clematis because he climbed everywhere.

We have had many pets - horses, dogs, cats, snakes, canaries, rabbits, turtles and fish but the names I remember most are:

Otto, Duke, Winston (Winny), Stickers, Milo (Miller) and Indiana (Indy) all dogs of various breeds.

We then have cats - Mitchie, Jack - I adored him, Lloyd, Mishka, Patch, Annie, Harry, Monty (Best mouser and biggest ginger tom we have had), Edward because my daughter thought she was a boy, now called Eddie, Cami, Puddle and Minx  -  all cats.

We have had hens, ducks and canaries. The was only canary that had a name - Pepe all the rest were birdie.

The ducks were Lucy and Luke, Indiana and Cheyenne. Hens were Ethel, Maggie, Henny Penny and some other weird names I can't remember.

The snakes are Wilson and don't know the other one - both daughters have them.

The rabbit is called Cunny - very original!!

A budgie called Floyd.

Horses were Fox, William, St Stephen, Princess, Morgan, and three others I can't remember.

I guess you could say my family likes animals.

Ours weren't so much unusual, but they were quite literary cats. Dylan and Oscar.
My son had a budgie called Bessie. I don't think my Aunty Bessie was too impressed.

When I was little we had a succession of blue budgies, all named Bluey. Our parents thought we wouldn't notice they kept falling off the perch, then suddenly getting better the next day. lol

No guinea pigs? No goldfish?  What sort of pet fancier are you? HA,HA, HA,HA!!!!

After telling my daughters about my post, they reminded me that we had fish (unfortunately they all died) and a guinea pig whose name was Bobby.

I have photos of all our pets for my family history book/dvd I am trying to put together.

My daughters are actively involved in protecting animals now and I am very proud of that.

I know a woman who had a Pekinese called Dame Edna. I say had, because the dog is now in a maximum security twilight home in the sky. Sad isn't it ?

[lloydslights]

What "on earth" did it do to earn the "maximum security"?  Did it keep running away?  Did it have outrageously shaped glasses?  And the wit of Barry Humphries?

I can't imagine what you may have called a Great Dane.
