It can be really exciting to bring home a newly adopted cat or kitten. Making sure you have thought of everything—getting all the necessary equipment, sorting out vets and insurance, starting litter-training, and looking for potential cat sitters—may also be overwhelming.

With all these significant considerations, it can be difficult to be imaginative and come up with a fitting name for your new family member. It is not a catastrophe if you haven't chosen one before your new kitty shows up.

Delaying the decision on a name is far preferable to letting people grow attached to one and then altering it a few weeks later. The OP and her partner have been picked as the adopters of two cats, pending final checks.

But now they are having a disagreement about the names of the cats, as her partner wants to name one of them "SuperDog." Hilarious right?

Well, the OP's partner thinks so too, as he literally laughs every time he thinks about it, and to be fair, it is funny and it comes from an inside joke of theirs. The OP is not really comfortable with the name for a good number of reasons, and you can find out what those reasons are as you keep scrolling down to read the full story.

The Headline

We are having a disagreement about names

I'm not going outside and shouting superdog

It comes from an episode of Malcolm In The Middle where Dewey is naming tigers

A little edit

Here are what redditors had to say in response to the story above.

This redditor is imagining it and loving the scenario

It is truly a hilarious name

Everyone who has pet has a million weird nicknames

What this redditor's tuxedo cat is called

The name of this redditor's dog is potato

This redditor is forever grateful to the OP for this idea

We live in the middle of a Christmas tree farm

I would go way out of my way to help

This redditor doesn't really care about the name

You both should love the name or pick another

So many risks to life and health

He said something to the owner about it

As long as you call them in a gentle voice

This redditor is revealing the gut response to the name

This redditor used to have a fluffy tuxedo cat

From someone who works at the vet's clinic

This redditor believes the two partners should agree

This redditor loves the name

Your partner should call him Superdog as a nickname

It's important to choose a name for your cat that everyone in the family can agree on and that won't need a lot of explanation when you use it in public. Keeping this in mind, you might use this name for more than 15 years!

So the OP is only trying to be careful and not make mistakes. Tell us what you think about the whole situation by dropping a comment below.
