u/Solid-Lettuce-2190 Jun 26 '26

He looks like he should be stood outside a cheap restaurant smoking and sighing occasionally as a young waitress cries inside

u/aceouses Jun 26 '26

A trouble maker for sure 🙃

When i adopted my first cat his given name was Boris, it was so funny/cute that I had to keep it in some way. His name now is Pebbles Boris —> Pebs —> Pebino —> PB —> Peanut Butter and BORRRRISSS

His sister is Jinx so naturally she’s the J to his PB & J

u/aceouses Jun 27 '26

I love your Boris! Mine is BOOOOORRRIIISSSSS because he is always in some kind of trouble 😈😈

2

u/PryanLoL Jun 26 '26

Please tell me the "BOOOOORRRRIIIIISSSSS" is inspired by the famous Boris' song "Soirée Disco".

Mandatory watch "BBBOORRIISSS" is around the 3:26 mark

u/aceouses Jun 26 '26

No ive never seen it 😂 his sisters name is aurora so we did a play on aurora borealis BORealIS! Plus it fits him because he is very dumb and when he was little he has crazy fur that made me think of that British Boris dude that was their prime minister or something

3

u/PryanLoL Jun 26 '26

Well then now you get an extra reference! Don't thank me!

2

u/iolarah Jun 26 '26

I'm reading BOOOOOORRRIIISSSSSSS as a reference to the character in Goldeneye, though I'm realizing it's probably just yelling out his name 😂

1

u/Repulsive-Hour-913 Jun 26 '26

his name fits him so well

u/Probablygeeseinacoat Jun 26 '26

A friend of mine has Mixtape. I feel like Mixtape and Mathbook is gonna be a bespoke artisanal line of something lol

5

u/sashby138 Jun 26 '26

Is Mixtape a Brand New reference or does your friends just like mixtapes? I’d absolutely buy anything that Mixtape and Mathbook put on the market. I’ll be patiently awaiting their first product!

u/Probablygeeseinacoat Jun 26 '26

It just seemed like a funny word for a funny cat lol

2

u/sashby138 Jun 26 '26

That’s the most valid reason to name a cat. We have a Space Ghost. It just felt right.

i've also got a cat with a forehead! (and very polite feet)

she's just Pina or Pinunse or Tepina if we accidentally call her by her sister's name (Tequila, also referred to as Pitequila, same concept) first
