Titles & Names: Difference between revisions

=== What are honorary titles? ===

Almost every cat has an honorary title, usually depending on their gender. These typically appear at the first part of the cat’s name and serve as an easy way to identify them and their characteristics.

== Examples of honorary titles ==

*'''Mr. & Ms.:''' These are the most common honorary titles, with Mr. being used for male cats and Ms. for female ones. Some times in a page the unshortened version is used (mister & miss) although no cat directly has the unshortened prefix in their name. Cats from [[Tartar Coffee’s Cat House]] use Monsieur.

*'''Cousin:''' The only cats with this title are [[Cousin Peace]] and [[Cousin Chill]], serving a similar function to Brother & Sister.

*'''Sir, Dame & Duchess:''' This honorary title is most frequently used for cats who have achieved notable feats, such as defeating [[Mount Kibble]]. [[Mr. Beef]] uses Sir as one of his nicknames. [[Dame Knight]] also used Sir whilst her gender was presumed to be male.

*'''Dr.:''' This is one of the rarest honorary titles alongside sister, and has no specific way of using it. The only two cats who use it are [[Dr. House]], named after the fictional character, and [[Dr. Smudge]].

*'''Baron & Count:'''Just like the previous two, it has no specific way of being used and it’s only used by [[Baron Raw Fillet]] and [[Count Apprentice]], with the last one using count for looking like a smaller [[Baron Raw Fillet]]

*'''The:''' While not exactly an honorary title, it is often used to exaggerate the qualities of a cat, such as [[The Gluttonous Beast]] or [[The Spawn of Satan]].

*'''Adjectives:''' These are often used similarly to “The” with the most commonly used being little or big. Some examples would be [[Big Bicolored Orange Cat That Loves to Sleep]] or [[Little Scraggly Guy]]. Sometimes these adjectives are shortened such as with [[Lil’ Roach]].

== Absence of titles ==

 

 

* '''Human Names:''' Examples of this include [[Bob]], and the cats from [[John's Canteen]]. Some cats use this naming scheme with made-up words, such as [[Goobert]].

* '''Food names:''' These are rarely used, with their most notable use being in the [[Soaring Cat|Soup Club Feeder]], where every cat except [[Grilled cheese|Grilled Cheese]] is named after soup. Other uses would be with kittens from the [[The Exploration Era|2024 Summer Kitten Explosion]], where a lot of them were named after beans, such as [[Heinz]] and [[Pinto]] (Note that naming kittens after beans isn’t a trend that simply was used in the summer kitten explosion, but instead an already associated naming type, as seen with [[Little Bean Sprout]] and [[Beanie Baby]], both from before and after the summer kitten explosion). Certain cats also have a food name alongside a real honorary title such as [[Mr. Egg]] and [[Mr. Bean]].

 

The main difference between this section and the previous is the usage of titles, where in the previous they were barely used in this one almost every single cat has a title with very few exceptions. (Most of the examples used don’t have one due to the naming section originally being convinced into the absence of title sub-section).

 

*'''-Ings & -lets:'''These are used typically for the children of some cats with the mother’s/father’s name at the start and usually have the “The” title with some exceptions. Some uses would be [[Bob|The boblets]] and [[The Sploinglings]]

*'''Literal names:''' These are almost exclusively used in exotic cats such as [[The Ferrets|Ferrets]], [[Ants]], or [[Mr. Snail]].

 

This category is simple - it refers to the names given to an entire species of animals. All ants are directly designated the title of [[Ants|The Swarm]]; hedgehogs are often named [[Mr. Sonic]] or a clone, despite not being in his original feeder.
