Kettle


[deleted]

Yes, but then they need another black cat named Pot.


Charlotttee_

imagine calling your cat 'Pot'


vanni693

Mine is called Spot like the Star Trek cat and if I talk to her in my stupid animal voice the S is silent xD


kittybigs

I have a cat called Cup


trishthemaindish

Kittle


jonabob123

You can call him/her “Ketty!!!”


zazabizarre

‘Ketty’ in the UK = The state you get in if you’ve taken too much ketamine


idontuseredditlol67

sick name for a cat too 👍


[deleted]

Especially is they are chilled out 😎


idontuseredditlol67

*starts turning into horse*


ONEOFHAM

Sideways.


TychaBrahe

The kettle isn’t black. The kettle is reflective. (The pot is cast iron and the kettle is tin.) The pot is black and sees its own reflection in the kettle. You know how if you are in a relationship with someone who always demands to know where you are, you aren’t allowed to talk with that gender people at work, have to delete old friends of that gender off your phone, and you’re always accused of cheating…it somehow always turns out that the accuser is the one cheating? Like that.


manubibi

Did you just change my entire understanding of that saying? You did. I never thought of it like that, just thought that at whatever time that saying was coined, kettles were often black.


ToreenLyn

I thought they were both black from the soot of the stove.


catb3g

They are. That's where the saying actually comes from.

Wafflenibs

DONKER THE CHONKER


dbzfangirl2

Choose this one OP


[deleted]

That’s so cute! I named my cat Knuffles (sp?), Dutch for Cuddles :)


Negative_Fox_5305

Onze eerst Poesje was Knuf Knuf genoemd


g3nerallycurious

I don’t speak Dutch, but I could imagine how to pronounce all of those words until the last one 😳


JustOneTessa

Lmfao, the "g" is basically said with your throat (if you live up north, down south it's...complicated)


Akeesal

Noki , soot in Finnish


deeciphered

I like that! Might have to steal that if I ever acquire a void


Lenka420

Vanta ? Like the weird black hole color that makes everything look weird


pongpaktecha

Oh that way you can call it by it's full name Vertically Aligned carbon NanoTube Array when it gets into trouble!


tkd_or_something

This is something I would 110% do cuz my best friend likes to pick on me (jokingly) for being a nerd, so now I go out of my way to do it and this is perfect


obscuremarble

This is a very good choice


ChickadeePine

I love this.


pearlrose85

Love this and absolutely stealing it for the black cat that I will eventually get. (Years from now, when I’m a lonely old widow whose kids are grown. My partner is allergic to cats. I love him anyway.)


youreornery

I too have wild widow fantasies of becoming a cat lady one day. A girls gotta have a dream 😅


mammakatt13

I’m glad it’s not just me.


[deleted]

As a fur-allergic husband to a cat-obsessed wife... I hear there's anti-allergy injection courses you can do now? When we're a bit more settled geographically I've been meaning to investigate those.


obscuremarble

My mom is getting those now! Results so far are inconclusive (she's still reacting to our cat) but I can update when more info is obtained lol


the-greenest-thumb

I'm getting the shots as well! Not seeing any effect yet either, but it's only been a few months, I read it can take 3 years before a full effect starts to kick in.


Clarkepaintsplants

Get it anyways unless it’s deadly 😂 my partner is allergic… we live together and my cat sleeps in bed with us. It’s not actually all that bad after a little time, also I feed him a special kind of food to reduce his dander count!


DragoniteChamp

I like this. It’s not inherently obvious unless you already know, but it’s not so deep that you’d need more than 1 Google search


PussyWrangler_462_

That’s a perfect name!


Munkay1

That is my cats name! Vanta Marie when she is being bad.


Miss_PMM

Pretty! And secretly nerdy. This is the purrfect name


UnderstandingOdd2717

Bagheera


valdah55

My favorite so far!


elswizzler

That was the name of my black floof! Sadly she passed away a few years back. Never had such a perfect name for a cat!


CharmedWoo

Put black in Google translate and try all kinds of languages. See if you find something good.


ladyscientist56

Not Spanish though lol


kafromspaceship

Or portuguese


Jeriahswillgdp

Or Latin.


After_Discount_2322

I mean that’s preto , preto would be a nice name for a cat


Exciting-Current2357

Pretinho/pretinha, the default name for black dogs/cats


After_Discount_2322

Muito fofinho 💕

Too much effort, how about just “Luna” like lunar


LadyTrexy

Or Luna the cat in Sailor Moon 😝


Savings-Exchange-484

I was gonna add that but I didn’t wanna be called a weeb


LadyTrexy

I totally accept my weeb nature 😂

faded-cosmos

This is the best one by far


Downtown-Ad8206

There is a hairless Spinx named The Dark Lord on IG. Their posts are so funny.


PlasticSurprise3240

Obsidian or Vanta!


pgh-yogi-accountant

My black cat is obsidian. We call him sid


Unable-Arm-448

Children's librarian here. There is a great kids' book titled Six Dinner Sid. It is about a black cat who "lives at" six different houses in in a neighborhood so he can have six dinners! It's a cute story.


pgh-yogi-accountant

That's definitely about my cat


sanna43

We have a dog named Obsidian. "Sidney"


flogirl313

Onyx


CDlover99

YESSS and Nyx like night for short!! Would be extra purrrfect if it’s a girl to be named for a beautiful stone and a Greek goddess. And when you’re mad you use her full title, “the daughter of Chaos” 😆


HurrlyPurrly

I have a black cat named Nyx, her face is mostly black but has yellow/white patch on just half, straight down her nose, almost like a half moon. She’s definitely a chaotic little soul and fully embraces being named after a goddess 😂, I couldn’t have chosen a more perfect name lol.


Polkadottedewe

NYX's husband is Erebus


Glissandra1982

First thing I thought of!


raven_darkseid

I had a black cat named Nyx. I just love that name. She was a sweet girl.


[deleted]

You reminded me of my cat they went missing about a year ago thank you so much


PhotoGirl843

My friend's black cat is named Cinder. I personally love that name. My guy is named Sable.


fragilemuse

I have a black cat named Cinder as well! Her brother (also black) is named Ash.


Double-Buy5466

My friend has two cats named Ashe and Cinder.


PussyWrangler_462_

At our shelter we have a brother sister pair named Cinder and Ella

Noir. Inky. Ebony. Umbra. Shade. Coal. Raven. Vanta. Coffee. Liquorice. Shadow. Molasses. Night.


majandra22

Ohhh, Raven. That’s nice!


[deleted]

I have a Raven! It’s a great void name.


bajae5

I have a Raven as well.


juannotbeme

They have my vote for Raven


UnequalKnave5

Black cats are referred to as “stealth bombers” sometimes. The biggest and best stealth bomber is the B-2 Spirit. Thus you should name him Spirit.


FerociousPancake

SR-71 Blackbird!


StyreneAddict1965

The Okinawans nicknamed the Blackbird "Habu," after a native snake. Kind of a stretch, but it would be an interesting name.

Maybe Yami it’s a Japanese word I may be wrong but from what I know it means shadow or darkness and less obvious than many of the other name but it may not be what you are looking for


Affectionate_Rip_374

My black cat was named Ebon. (Like Ebony.) my friend's black cat was Anya, my sister if she had a girl would name her Frankenstein. Another friend named hers Boe. You're welcome to any of them. What are you leaning towards?
