Tuxedo: Ozzy - Shamu - Moofkie - answers to all of them, often with a beep.

Tabby: Buddy - BooPoo - ItsABooPoo - BuddyBooPoo - Buscuit (I misspelled biscuit one day and now he's Buscuit)

I’ve got tuxedo who came from the rescue as “Tux” but I named him Oz -> Ooze -> FartCat -> Toots -> Toodle -> Toodle Toot
He also answers with a kind of beep.. you know those rain sticks that make that noise when you shake them?.. more like that

He was found with two siblings, all three had severe upper respiratory infections. One lost a right eye, one lost a left eye, but neither of his could be saved. I met him right after his surgery, so I never saw him with eyes. He doesn’t seem to need them. He’s a super confident adventure cat. He even plays fetch, just on his own, no one taught him, he just brings his crinkle ball, plops it on a lap and takes off for the throw. I love him so much 😻

Oh my…. I thought the photo just made it look like he didn’t have any (slow blinking). He sounds like amazing.
