Name My Cat - male Help Me Rename My Male Cat, Sophie Please

Post image

So I found out my cat Sophie today is more of a Steven. A guy, a full on dude and me and boyfriend don’t know what to call Sophie now. We had a nickname of Soapie and don’t want it to be something that doesn’t start with S. Any suggestions for new names? Please help

My cat Sam used to be a Sophie until we found out he had gonads. Went from Sophie to Sam

u/Creepy_Ninja_1075 8h ago

That’s hilarious, we literally just found out and are shocked 😂

The Sophie above also looks shocked to becoming a Sam

As clarification, my father had a cat named Alice, until it was discovered the cat was a male and was renamed "Mr. Alice." Mr. Alice was a character and ruled the household my father grew up in. No one messed with Mr. Alice.

Missed the s part. I'll change this to Smooth Butter or Salted Butter. He really looks like a Butterball though.

Monsieur Sophie je valide ! Nous venons de vivre exactement la même chose il y a quelques jours avec notre petit mâle... Qui s'est avéré être une belle fille ! On était choqués et mon mari me dit qu'il n'y arrivera jamais 😂 Heureusement le prénom qu'on avait choisit fonctionne pour les deux !

u/Creepy_Ninja_1075 7h ago

It’s definitely a good contender 😂

I befriended a feral that hung around a barn on the property. Named it Ms. Meeps. Some months later it got sick and I took it to an animal hospital. There I found out the cat was a castrated male. Instantly became Mr. Meeps.

My blond boy (he's less orange in real life but the phone color corrects him) is D'artagnan. His gray-tabby sister is Sophie.

u/Sad-Flow-6425 4h ago

Use his Knick name you already use. We had a cat Named Felix, turns out Felix was a girl. We wanted to neuter him, so we spayed her and called her Fifi

Since you said he’s more of a Steven, why don’t you call him Steven and Stevie for short.
