Honorary titles

What are honorary titles?

(Almost) every car 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.
  • Mx.: This title can be used in two ways. When a cat's sex is undetermined, the Mx. prefix can be used as a temporary placeholder title. Alternatively, some cats like Mx. Creamsicle use they/them despite their biological sex being determined, which is up the editor's discretion.
  • Mrs.: In the real world, Mrs. is used in marriage. However, with the cats, it is used to denote mother cats who have had children.
  • Mama/Momma: These are used similarly to Mrs. with some usages being Mama Tortoiseshell and Mama Play
  • Madam: This is a rare title with the same meaning as Ms. The cats that use this title are Madam Margaret and Madam Plush
  • Brother & Sister: These are less common and are used to denote dignified or wise cats. It is often used for Brother calm’s disciples. Brother & Sister are also used for direct translations of Chinese names, such as Big Faced Brother.
  • 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.
  • Mt.: This honorary title is a shortened version of mount and is exclusively used in Mount Kibble and his other versions
  • 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 character, and Dr. Smudge.
  • 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.

Names

Absence of titles

Some cats do not have an honorary title, and instead use their name to denote characteristics about them. These cats usually have something special about them.

  • 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 Soup club feeder, where every cat except Grilled Cheese is named after soup. Other uses would be with kittens from the 2024 Summer Kitten Explosion, where a lot of the kittens were named after beans, such as Heinz and Pinto. Certain cats also have a food name alongside a real honorary title such as Mr. Egg and Mr. Bean.

Actual names

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 car 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)

  • Verbs/adjectives as the name: These have the exact same uses as adjectives in the previous section. A example of these names would be Mr. Fresh himself
  • Semi-literal names: In order to explain this title better, a example of this name would be Roadkill where while he isn’t a roadkill he is named like that due to his appearance.
  • Literal names: These are almost exclusively used in exotic cars such as Ferrets, Ants or Mr. Snail
