Choose the cat name that would amuse you most to use in a sentence!

@sinituulia

I'm having a hard time choosing between:
Sakdoekkie
Bliksimpie
My Sokkies
Pap
Die Polisie

[sinituulia@eldritch.cafe]

@Zumbador Utterly fucking delightful options, good grief

They're probably more funny looking to others than to me, but I've got:
Hantuuki (*edited for dialect)
Paskiainen
Sukkani
Puuro
Konstaapelisto

[algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club]

@sinituulia I went with My Socks (zoknijaim in Hungarian), but the others were strong candidates too¹.

@sinituulia ooh I love "konstaapelisto"

Reminds me of a time in the 1970s when the security police came knocking at our door late at night looking for an escaped "terrorist" ( otherwise known as an activist)

My mother angrily demanded who was there disturbing us so late at night and this embarrassed voice answered:

"Konstabel Abel"

My mother just cracked up laughing.
The cops went away pretty quickly after that.

@sinituulia I picked "handkerchief". Or, translated from Swedish: Nose cloth >.>

[gulleko@kind.social]

@sinituulia Little Bastard is already a nickname for every cat I've ever had (usually when they have chewed/peed/puked on something), so I'll have to go with "Konstapeln"

[xinit@mastodon.coffee]

@sinituulia It was close, but both Handkerchief and The Constabulary are exceptional.

"Call The Constabulary, it's time for dinner!"
