What should I name my (fake) cat?

April 24, 2018 8:05 PM

My roommate got me an LED night light cat.

Link to what it looks like. It's made of silicone, of which the thickness is like mochi skin. It looks like Pusheen.

Blue Canary. I know your new pal is neither, but it’s the most famous nightlight name I know.

Best answer: I love those things! I've thought about buying one for myself.

I think you should name yours Lampyris after a genus of fireflies because it's got lamp in the name and I love naming cute things vaguely fussy latin words.

Sunny.

Or, what I tend to end up calling my cat, instead of his real name: "Hey Stinky"

Oh my gosh, I have one of these! I love it, it's such a friendly little nightlight.

I'm not real creative, though, so I just call mine "Dr. Kittylight."
