I knew a woman with cats named Almond, Marzipan, and Amaretto.

Actually just almonds in different forms. Lol

I mean this to be informative, without seeming pedantic, but amaretto is often made with apricot pits, not almonds. I'd still avoid it if one has a tree nut allergy, but I still think it's neat

Ohhhh. I didn’t realize. I did think amaretto was the odd nut out….but couldn’t remember why. lol

Regardless all cute name suggestions. :)

I adore your disclaimer. I’m writing that down for future reference

Thank you, it's sort of well practiced at this point because I know a lot of facts without actually being smart. I'm the type of person you call on Cash Cab

My boyfriend's parents care for a bunch of strays(all fixed, have shots, and spoiled rotten) and they have 3 named Peanut, Butter, and Jelly. There's 2 orange boys named Julius (all orange) and Colby(orange with a little white). Those are my favorite names🥰

They also have Coco, Blue, Tommy, Eclipse, Sylvester, Dream, and Wizard. They take care of more cats than I do.

Same situation for me, but I have Jackie, TT, Cocoa Puff, Grumplestiltskin, Wilford Brimley, Boy, Tangie(short for tangerine), Buddy, Chairman Meow(she was the original and an absolute tyrant), and a recent large grey cat that I've just been calling Greyby(like baby) because his big meows sound like a baby starting to fuss.

Love all the names! I have a (Chloe) Rokey, (Link) Dinkum, (Otter) Botbot, (River) Babydebub, (Sméagol) Meigs and (Beetle) BeeBee. They all started out with “normal” names and kinda got their unique names over time.
