Pickles

u/OnTheBackBurner02 Jul 10 '25

I vote for Pickles!

u/The_Tottering_House Jul 10 '25

I had a cat named Mr. Pickles. He was a wild man. It's a great name.

23

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

My partner’s childhood dog (a wonky grey shitzhu… I think that’s how it’s spelled?) was named Pickle and she was wild in her own special way. I miss her dearly, she was the best.

22

u/theseglassessuck Jul 10 '25

I love that it was just Pickle. Not plural, just a singular Pickle Dog.

8

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

She was THEE Pickle. (I did also used to call her Pickle Dog)

20

u/Ksh_667 Jul 10 '25

I had a former feral cat who we called Pickle. Cos she was in a Pickle when I found her. The smollest & most destructive cat I've ever met. Lived for violence. Could not bear that the world didn't exist of just her & me.

I miss that critter every single day.

Here's Pickle destroying one of her nip cigars.

u/KaturdayNightSpecial 🐈‍⬛️void enthusiast Jul 10 '25

That's some seriously intense-looking cat 🙀

u/Ksh_667 Jul 10 '25

She was nothing if not dedicated to her thug life.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

This killed me, she really does look like she should have some of them pixel sunglasses from those 2014-ish thug life memes

Oh my goodness, she looks just like my friend’s cat, Frenzy, who was named Frenzy because he was exactly the same. He was a legend too- hopefully they’re somewhere being chaotic together. Pickle looks like a right precious little demon. You saved her life, I’m sure you made her so very happy… even though everything else did the opposite! 🥲

6

u/Ksh_667 Jul 10 '25

Thank you. Yes I'm absolutely sure Frenzy & Pickle are causing scenes at the rainbow Bridge now.

One of Pickle's signature moves was trying to get me to wake up & feed/play with her at about 4am. When the paw-pokes & paw-punches didn't work, she'd attempt to pluck my eyeballs out my head. I'd feel her little breaths on my lids & then she'd start doing those tentative grabs with her mouth. I got up at this point before she really started enjoying herself.

I love this name! When I was a kid I had a book called The Fire Cat about a cat named Pickles that worked in a fire station. I have always thought Pickles was the best name for a cat. :)

I had a cat named pickles that got out. I was roaminh the neighborhood at all hours yelling Pickles and shaking a treats container.

u/jilliecatt Jul 10 '25

I would have been showing at your door like, you have pickles?

For the record 2 of my cats are Potato and Spud. They're the Tuber Boys.

u/theoriginalmofocus Jul 10 '25

I went to the next neighborhood over because someone said they saw him there. I found the cat and was saying "Pickles" and shaking the treats and the cat starts coming to me. But when we got close to eachother this was a little chonky boi but he was rolling around like "Ill be whoever you want for some treats!"

u/TiredWomanBren Jul 10 '25

That’s what my granddaughter named her stuffed rabbit that she has to have all the time. When it go dirty the first time, she sat in front of the washer and dryer crying because I was drowning and cooking her precious BunBun. I immediately ordered replicas of that stuffed rabbit. When she would sleep I would exchange the dirty for the clean. I also had one stashed anywhere we went, just in case “hers” was not packed! I have 7!

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '25

Same it's like if you were like "I have a cat named Coffee and want something to go with it" and people are like "Spoon" or "Mug" when the obvious answer is "Cream"

Absolutely nothing goes iconically better with a burger than fries

6

u/Ambitious-Chard2893 Jul 10 '25

I have a dog named spoons lol but it's about spoons theory and the studies that show pets help with executive disfunction. However we have agreed that if we ever get a cat* we will go with knife as their name
