Many of us have cats and dogs. Our kids have or have had caged rodents or birds, or fish in a big jar. What are the most daft or cool names then for our four legged friends or other critters.

I have two cats. Tiger a bloody huge tabby tom cat. And Athos a not so huge tom cat, who was called Eva. My wife bought a female cat just after Christmas. However I noticed that this female cat started to develop huge nads. My wife was still in denial until she caught 'her/him' licking a furry lipstick. Thus Athos was the name.

My neighbours cat is called Dave. And a friend of mine has a dog called Roger.

However the funniest name ever for a dog, has to be a Harry Enfield sketch where he has a black lab' called Mugabe.
Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

    When I was at school a mate of mine had a guinea pig called Starsky. I thought that was quite witty.

    I never understood why a pet should have a name. If I had an animal, I would simply call it 'cat', 'bird', or whatever it is. Then again, I probably would never have a pet, unless it was something outrageous, like a rhino or leopard.

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved

    Horse = Whisper (imagine the irony of yelling that across a field at feeding time)
    Dog = Loki (working cocker spaniel so the Norse god of mischief and tricker is appropriate)
    Cat = Tiger pops (he's blonde, and acts it)

    We have a Border Collie called Keavy which means gentle. She is the laziest dog known to man. I call her a fake Border Collie as she refuses to play or run about.

    We also have two rabbits called Phineas and Ferb.

    All spiders in the house are called Fred.

    My daughter named one of her male guinea pigs Princess Fluffy Pudding. We also have hens, one called Tikka which caused some hilarity at the vets. Mine is called Princess Leia.

    The ducks are called Big X, Hilts and Ives as they live in an anti fox stalag in the garden.
