Cat Nicknames An overview of our research subject: Claude has a steady and ever growing collection of nicknames (over 160 at last count). He manages to add at least one new nickname per month. The majority are related to either his eating habits (an example of this kind of nickname would be "Oinker Boinker") or his sleeping habits (an example of this kind of nickname would be "Coma Kitty"). Continuing our unscientific, informal and always lighthearted research into general cat behavior, Claude and I would like to know the following about your cat's nicknames (Note: If your browser does not support form submission you can email your information to Claude).
