rule 1) be kind

On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he's either a babyman where he's all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he's a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he's hyper.
On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by 'Frey', but when she's in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her 'Turbo Cylinder' because she's very tubular in shape at high speed.
yeah, that works nicely
I’ve got two. A void and (I think) a blue point.
The void is Apollo, but his nickname is “what is that in your mouth”
The blue point is Islay, but her nickname is “how the fuck did you get the toilet paper again”
Percy aka Percy-Cat and No, you've already been fed!
Her name is Masha, but I call her "Estás bien fea" ("you are so ugly"). She doesn't mind.
Why dignify such obvious lies with a reaction 😒
Anya (she and all of her litter mates were named for Buffy TVS characters): frequently referred to as Fluffy Girl, Hissy Face, or Lady Shedsalot
Ozymandias (named for one of my favorite poems, but also to kind of keep with the Buffy theme): Oz, Ozzy, Bubby, Fuzzy Boy, Big Boy, Squeaky, Fluff For Brains
Nova and Athena. SillyButt and BabyKitty.
My sister calls my male young cat Åse, a nordic SENIOR female name. I have no idea how she got it.
Zim and Kylo have become "Silky" and "Fluffy Butt".
Zim gives me Invader Zim vibes and Kylo's name I inherited when I rescued him. Not like he answers to it or anything.
One of our cats is Meshe, we call her Moo. Meshe -> Mooshe -> Moo.
Bonus: we have a dog named Gismo, we call him big boobs. Don't ask how we got there, it makes sense.
Dexie, or Puddin Poopers
Name: Emily
Nickname: Emmerly. Sometimes I sing "Emmerly and Ivory" to her 😁
Name: Charlotte
Nickname: Char-Char
I also refer to them as "The Sisters" or "The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters" since they are in fact sisters from the same litter and love staring at me, visitors, and each other 😄
A rare moment of them getting along outside of having fun playfighting:
Things I love about this comment:
I have two void brothers.
Booker
Hollow
Both of them also get called
My partner and I ALSO have
Mister Man
and
BOISBOISBOISBOISBOISBOIS
!!!
We don’t have stinkybutt, but I do call them “pooper”, and “poo tube”
Name: Miso
Nickname: Dickhead, when he is stupid. Mate, when he isn't being an orange cat.
Her name is Beri. Nicknames: beko, bekos, or berko. As you can see in the pictures she's a low intelligence specimen.
The last pic has big "phone home" vibes 👽
Name: Luci (disenchantment character)

Goddamnit,
Dumpster goblin,
Lou,
Stop that.
Name: Rorschach

This is Oliver. I mostly call him:
Oh and my partner calls him Ollie.
Sushi
My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su
If she's in trouble then it's Sushi Maki Roll <Our last name>
I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I've ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn't bury them in the litter.
This is Zoe, aka Princess Zoe Peanut Butter Garbanzo
She got the name peanut butter from a delivery guy one day who was helping move in a new couch. She just went up to him friendly as can be and the delivery guy just went “hey peanut butter” and the nickname stuck.
I had a cat named Buddy, and he would get up to a lot of mischief so we'd often refer to him as "the monster". Once you start calling your cat "Buddy monster" you'll find you're a very short distance from "monster of buddies I'm pulling your strings".
Here's Buddy after wrecking his Christmas-themed RV:
Scout
Who 99% of the time is Scooty.
She's occasionally called: Scootybutt, Scooterella, Scoots, Scootyscoots*, Scuttles, Scuttlebutt, Scoutster (only ever used by my mom lol), Scootypuff Senior (a la Futurama, but she's too old to be Junior. Scooty is 12.)
(*Edit: I should add that when using this one, it's always pronounced as "ScootySCOOOOOOOOOOOTS" in imitation of our friend who coined this while drunk.)
We pretty much only call her Scout at the vet
~~I'll add a picture when I get another break from work~~
Edit: pic tax
Looking guilty after I caught her licking a plastic bag
Asking for attention/if she can steal my chocolate croissant
"Helping" me work from home
We also have a Scout. We also call him Scoochy, Scoutabout, Scootums, and You-Motherfucker. He's orange and only uses his brief braincell time for evil. He once turned the gas stove on by himself.
My boy Mo
Or:
And probably dozens of other names I've appended Mo onto. He's a good sport about it.---
Edit: I just realized this was his first time outside after hip surgery. That's why his hair looks weird on the back half.
I'm losing it at Slow-Mo and Guiller-Mo
May I suggest, for when he is being a menace (I can tell this boy loves to be a menace)
Name: Aaron Purr
Nicknames: Biscuit Boy, Boffin, Little Babushka, Baaronki Paponski the Zoozahzonski, Bahba, the VP, Bisco Pisco Sour,
Miss Caligula, in keeping with a Roman naming tradition. Usually shortened to Cali, or more often than not just goes by kitty.

Alcatraz became Darkness became Dennis. A three year old saying Darkness sounds like Dennis. His name is Dennis now.

Styx, black (named after one of Plutos moons, not the 80s band)

Together they are Dieselbub and the Prince of Darkness. They are brothers from the same litter and we love them very much.
Edit: Gah! I just went upstairs and they’re being adorable
Nyx, but every cat I have is either "kitty" or lately "monkey"
I'm at work with a new-ish phone so I can't pay the cat tax, I don't take many pictures :/
No pictures, sorry. Got two of them. (Two of them)
Pistache (Pistachio, classic Calico tabby)
And, Earl Grey (Super chonky muted tuxedo tabby)
Scruffy aka Big Boy. Since i can't seem to upload, he has no teeth and a floppy ear. When he arrived on my doorstep 6 years ago, his fur was matted, his mouth bloody and inflamed (stomatitis, which got his teeth pulled) and he has a BB permanently lodged in his side from some asswipe that shot him. About 16 pounds.
