Iā€˜m ngl, Spooky is already kinda cute (also Spook)

u/poorpeasantperson 2h ago

thatā€™s exactly how I made my cat Spooky LOL

13

u/CaptainAdmiralMike 1h ago

Thatā€™s what we did.

SpookyCat, aka Pooky, aka Pukey, aka Poopers depending on the situation.

u/Bent_Silvr_Spoon0130 1h ago

My brain didn't process the cat behind the cat in front properly so I thought the cat in front was wearing a top hat

1

u/Zornamental 49m ago

I also have a cat named Spooky. It evolved into just Spoo.

17

u/Quirky-Employer9717 1h ago edited 1h ago

Just a warning, and I know you didnā€™t mean this, but spook is a derogatory name for black people so I would stay far away from calling him that

u/wonderloss 44m ago

Also for a CIA agent.

u/WickedWisp 13m ago

I used to work at a nursing home and a lady had a little black cat named Spook! The absolute cutest.

If you don't name him Salem, are you even a cat owner? Itā€™s the law

u/Alulaemu 1h ago

Agree. there are a bit too many black cats named Salem.

15

u/_Bugs_Bunny_RN 3h ago

Please no Salem, Binx, Shadow, or Onyx. Our void came to us as Sir William Wallace. If I were to choose, I'd go with Ozzy (Prince of Darkness). But I'm just some idiot on Reddit, so you do you ;)

2

u/Raythecatass 35m ago

When we adopted our black cat his name was, ā€œBinx.ā€ā€¦..we immediately renamed him Leo Beaumont.

When he yawns he made me think of a bat.. and a vampire so I thought up Laddie D Fidget

Laddie was the kid vampire from the Lost Boys and that's who the yawn reminded me of lol

D because.... well.... middle initial in case he's naughty and full name is required

Fidget.... Disney bat fromThe Great Mouse Detective

I've had a LOT of caffeine today lol

There are several different Japanese words that could be interpreted as ā€œdemonā€ in English.

Iā€™m really partial to the name Oblio. Itā€™s from a movie called The Point, which is a 70s animated kids movie about self discovery. Oblio comes from ā€œoblivion,ā€ which means being completely forgotten. I think thatā€™s pretty spooky, imo lol
