oh you don’t know oranges. It may be a generic name but they have a very specific set of skills lol

Two of my adopted cat are being named “cat” in my language.
In my defence, vet need a name and i couldn’t think of one.
I named my first ferret “Girl” and her sister “Yu”. One of my turtles is named “Turtle”. My creativity knows no bounds.
I did name my dog Sophie though, so one out of four could be worse.
Well we learn how to name stuff the more we do. My third cat is Tina and my 4th cat is bean in my language, so a step forward.
When I was a kid we had a dog named Monkey
my friend had a cat named bird. I’m sure it’s not only but i always found it funny
My adopted little girl is still listed as Popoki in her adoption paperwork. I think that is close to Cat in Hawaiian.
We are firmly landlocked in the Midwest.
We have a big, white, mixed breed dog. People ask us all the time if she’s a Great Pyrenees, an English Cream, or what have you. She’s a dog. 100% pure dog.
Is that from Kenshi?
Dog from Half Life 2
Half life 2
unrelated but MUCH more pressing issue: Kenshi 2 when??
We had a farmyard crossed dog that lived for almost 17 years I called him a car-puk-eh because of his lifelong affliction with motion sickness.
That’s the best kind of dog.
I’ll care about cat breeds when my cat starts showing that she cares about anything.
Used to work at an animal shelter, and I can count on one hand the number of cats we’d ever had that were anything other than “D(S/L)H (color and pattern)” or “(pattern) Siamese”
Good! That means not too many breeders are interested in fucking up their health for the sake of some stupid feature.
Enough are though. Those poor munchkins are supper popular. And rag doll cats are bred to be almost idiots because some assholes thought it was cutentonhave a breed whose most distinct behave is flooping stupidly on the floor
What’s D, S, L and H?
Domestic Short/Long Hair
At the shelter I volunteered at, they’d occasionally get a purebred, but they’d still advertise them as DLH (or whatever) because they didn’t want to attract the type of adopter who cares about the breed.
My cat is named cat. Best name for a cat
mine is catzilla
Is that Jambo?

My dogs are purebred results of hot street corner love and 100% dog. Dunno what’s inside, they’re a good boy and girl. My little shelter kids.
Dog brand dog.
It’s a dog brand dog world.
Ha yes, the yellow no-name breed.
I used to know a woman who would make up names like “North American yodel-hound” or “white-toed chipmunk dog” as the breed for her dogs.
I had an African giant bassist hound
Are they available for jam sessions?
❤️🐶
My mother has been searching for one of those since her first run in with one the 70s.
I have never had my eskie mistaken for a husky, it’s always either a Pomeranian or a Samoyed.
That being said I do also have an orange braincell, a void, a tortie and a good girl.
I’ve had a ragdoll, a bengal, and a bunch of "American Shorthair"s.
My friend has a munchkin void. It can go from purr to hiss in a fraction of a second.
That sounds like my mum’s cat. She was a feral, left on the doorstep of the pub.
She’ll hiss and growl at everything, but you just distract her with a toy, then it’s all purrs and snuggles.She has a weird obsession with licking faces, which evolved from biting faces.
As someone who prefers licks, this is good progress
You could put 20 cats in front of me and put a gun to my head and I couldn’t name a single one.
Not even Garfield?
nah, that’s a pomeranian spitz
Different dog breeds were bred to have specific uses though
Half of them to look like something new.
I read somewhere that a dog’s basic genome was much more plastic than a cats: that’s why we have tiny annoying dogs but also large annoying dogs.
With cats you can mostly just have mediumish annoying cats.
How far we’ve come (fallen?) from the days of alt.tasteless trolling rec.pets.cats.
I’ve met far too many people who either subscribed or would have subscribed to Cat Fancy.
