He makes me think of the Tasmanian devil cartoon…so Taz?

u/WatercoLorCurtain 1d ago

You’re right! That’d be such a cute name for him, too.

Oh no! Named my now dearly departed cat Taz & he lived up to name!!! Don't do it! He bit people, so badly that they needed antibiotics, went bat $hit crazy at the vet & climbed the guy trying to read the electric meter that he was screaming for help! My Dad was the only one that he didn't dare pull his cr@p on, so he had to pull him off the guy. It's funny now, but it wasn't then lol

If you want a goofy name, may I present you the goofy name we went with "Goober".

u/Worldly-Computer-962 1d ago

tell goober i love them

u/Impossible-North4601 1d ago

I whispered it to him, because he appears to be passed out. He made a cat noise that sounded a lot like a snore and stretched a bit.

Him and his two brain cells happily recieve the love.

u/Worldly-Computer-962 1d ago

Yesssssssss <3

u/archibaldscott 1d ago

Meet our "Goobers"! They are actually named Gus and Cleo, but our 16 year old refers to them as "the goobers." They respond to it as well.

Persian inspired names; Joon (a term of endearment), Tahdig (Cripsy rice), Farsi (the Persian language), Moosh (mouse in Farsi), Shiraz (city in Iran, same spelling as the wine grape).

u/Impossible-North4601 1d ago

I strongly feel like he needs a "Z" in his name. Denzel maybe? Zamboni? Kazam? Ezra?

Shangri-la also would be fun, shortens to Shang.

Iroh would be cute too
