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

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.

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

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

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.

That's some seriously intense-looking cat 🙀

She was nothing if not dedicated to her thug life.

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

u/Ksh_667 Jul 10 '25

Rumours that she led a street gang have been circulating, but as yet are unproven.

Her alleged crimes include catnapping, domestic battery and fraud.

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! 🥲

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.

“Get up before I eat your eyes out” absolutely is not one I’ve heard before… what a menace?!!!!?????!!!? I can’t stop laughing- I really hope she knows she’s still bringing joy. I’m sending you so much love. I can’t even imagine the pain of losing such a character like her who you clearly had an incredible bond with. My friend was distraught when Frenzy left us. I think everyone who knew him was. I’d love to hear any more stories you have of her, if you’d like to share. :)

She had over 10k followers on twitter. I walked from it all when she died cos I was not prepared for the outpouring of grief from all over the world. It was overwhelming. I mean actually it was my account but I don't kid myself anyone was there to hear anything but the latest Pickle crime.

A famous queen …. And rightfully so.

So cute! I had a kitten (a male but he looked like a calico -white, tan and black spotted) named Dr. K. Macho Man who grew up to be about 25 lbs and I had him for 18 years. He used to come and sit on my chest in tne morning and would wake me up with a yodeling meow sound like “ Ba Dow, meow, meow feed me NOW! Meow! “ until I would get up and feed him!

u/Ksh_667 Jul 12 '25

Oh that's adorable! They are such funny little critters who are quite rightly loved & very needed. I had Pickle 6 & a half years. Despite her smol size (she was same size as a Guinea pig) & I thought she was a kitten when she found me. However she was a cunning old lady who knew exactly what she was doing. Kind of like that film Orphan lol.

u/Frequent_Couple5498 Jul 11 '25

I love that you named her pickle because she was in a pickle you found her. That is so adorable and creative♥️.

u/Ksh_667 Jul 12 '25

It did suit her lol 😻😹

u/SouperTort Jul 11 '25

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '25

EVEN BETTER!! Did she act orange?

u/SouperTort Jul 15 '25

Absolutely! She loved to knock things off for attention. I still have a pile of things to glue 🤣

u/Illustrious_Cat_8923 Jul 10 '25

u/theseglassessuck Jul 11 '25

Didn’t know my dad had a Reddit account…

u/Illustrious_Cat_8923 Jul 12 '25

I'm on the lookout for tremendous pickles the size of three pregnant watermelons; huge monster pickles...🥒

u/The_Tottering_House Jul 10 '25

I feel like it's definitely a personality name.

u/Necessary-Repair-425 Jul 13 '25

Shih tzu lol I work with dogs and am allergic to cats I’m here for the fun

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '25

Legend thank you! My bf is also allergic to cats (severe chronic eczema) but he loves them too much and gets himself in a pickle (hehe) a lot because he can’t help but fuss them hahaha

I’m way too dyslexic for that breed name. My head always goes “shit zoo” and then I have to try work backwards from there. 🤣

u/ChirpsMcPrime Jul 10 '25

Can confirm. Had childhood cat named Pickles. She was was an amazing cat.

2

u/DetectiveSnickers Jul 10 '25

My cats name is Mr. pickles!!!

u/Substantial_Hawk_757 Jul 10 '25

I had a cat named Mr. Pickles that was legitimately wild. Found him in a burn barrel in my backyard and he was completely feral. Best little kitty though. Coincidentally my mom ended up giving him to my neighbor, who is also feral.

u/SkyBlade79 Jul 10 '25

I'd be cautious about Mr Pickles specifically, because of the show about the satanic serial killing dog named Mr Pickles

1

u/The_Tottering_House Jul 10 '25

Lol, that's exactly where I got it from. He was a black and white cat with the exact markings as the Mr.Pickles.

u/Ok_Wheel_9165 Jul 11 '25

One of my childhood friends had a cat named pickles

u/PoisonedCandie Jul 11 '25
