Cat Owner, Whose Terms Of Endearment For His Pet Look Like Nasty Insults, Has Other Pet Owners Sharing The Offensive Nicknames They Gave Their Furballs

by May

Pet owners don't just stick to one name for their pets. They give them all sorts of nicknames inspired by how their furballs look or behave.

These monikers typically show a deep bond between the owner and their pet. From "Fluffy" and "Ginger" to "Crazy Pants" and "Jabba the Mutt," nicknames become a part of the pet's identity as much as the real name.

Pet owners can get quite creative with the nicknames they bestow upon their furry friends. Some of these monikers can be downright hilarious or even a little embarrassing, but they all come from a place of love and affection.

Others even give their pets the nastiest nicknames—ones that you wouldn't use on a person unless you want to downright disrespect them. A Redditor who recently posted on the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) is one of them.

Now, it wouldn't be a problem between him and his cat because even though he "insults" his cat, he says everything in a loving tone. Unfortunately, his girlfriend doesn't like his idea.

The girlfriend feels like the original poster (OP) is bullying his can, even though that isn't the case at all. He tells his girlfriend that while he's aware that cats can make sense of certain phrases, they don't understand English enough to feel insulted.
