People Are Sharing Their Pets’ Names Vs. What They ACTUALLY Call Their Pets, And I Can’t Stop Laughing
A lot goes into choosing the right name, especially for a new pet. And some are *so* good, they’re simply impossible to forget. Reddit user diceblue recently asked, “What’s your pet’s name and what do you actually call them?” Here’s what these animal lovers had to say:
1. “I had a cat named Trouble. The name fit well enough, but her nickname was Turdbutt. She responded to that better than her real name. One night, she got out, and I walked up and down my street calling out Turdbutt. She’s home safe and sound.”

3. “Her name is Waffles, and all we call her is Kitty, Kitty Cat, or Kiki. Never called that cat Waffles a day in her life.”
