Cat names... hey, it's on topic :)

[Latka]

K - we've got 2 cats, and I'm sure you guys will appreciate the names: Panzer & Tiger. Thing is, my girlfriend picked up another stray today, and I was given permission to give him another German tank name. He's a little black kitty, but she kinda scoffed at Königstiger.

Any suggestions, German armor buffs? Unfortunately it has to be kinda easy to say, or at least "shorten-able" so she'll think it's somewhat cute.

Thanks!

Dang. You guys hopped on this one quick

She likes "Leo" and "Puma"... so I think she'll choose between those two.

I'll keep you updated as to the status of "Operation Who Are You"

I was always partial to Jagd or Stu. I also think Nashorn (Nash for short) is good.

I threw all the ones I knew (not many) at her and she kinda rolled her eyes....but, I'll see if I can get her to commit to Leo or Puma.

well my name would have to be HEZTER small but was agood tank killer. i think i splet it right.

[Latka]

Tom,

I tried to go for Maus, but she didn't like it. Ugh!

I guess I can't complain *too* much. I've already got a Tiger and a Panzer

Okay, here we go:

"Hetzer" .. "hunter (lit."hurrier") - sorry crazyvan, near miss only

"Marder" .. "??", sorry, no cat, relative of weasel
"Wiesel" .. see "Marder" also ..

.. naming a cat after it's most dangerous foe (after the car, that is ) seems strange to me ..

"Maus" .. you wouldn't call a cat "Mouse", would you ?!


"Luchs" .. Lynx


"Puma" .. aren't those black ??

I would go for "Puma" ...

No, I think that Puma is another word for Mountain Lion which is another name for Cougar. They are not black...

My two cats are called Alvin & Floyd. I know it's no help, but from one cat-lover to another...

A bit of lateral thinking: why not give it a tank name, but from another country? Your girlfriend might think that Sherman or Cromwell would make quite dignified names... T34, ont the other hand..., perhaps not.

There is always "Honey", the British name for the Stuart.

If they get into a fight, it would be intersting to see if they perform according to their name.

P.S. I also have a dog, a chocolate labrador. His name is Pougatschov (Pougi for short), but that is another story.

My family's dog when I was little was named Rommel. A German Shepherd, naturally.

I think you should name the kitty:

PzKpfw-IVf2

Listen how it just rolls off the the toungue. You could call him "Pzz" for short.

:lol

I don't define "my own" the way you want me to.

[Latka]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I think you folks are right... I'll try some other names like "Sherman" and such.

Poor (new) kitty went off to the vet today to get his kitty jewels snipped off. All he can do is fire smoke rounds now.

When I was a kid my dad let me name our German Shephard. I named him Stuka. I thought it sounded traditional.

I kinda like Sturm, she might think you mean Storm and go for it. Nothing like a little subtle deception...

[von Curow]

If you wanna get away from tank names, there is always "Blitz."
