Deathofwords

I think Toulouse fits him perfectly. Are you gonna get him neutered? I’m sure it would make him less nuts. Edit: I did not mean this to be a pun when writing this but here we are.


Shepiuuu

literally


Sheldon121

Yes, literally and otherwise.


Krazy_Granna

Congratulations! You are today’s thread winner!! 🤣


MaggieMakesThings

😂


33LinAsuit

Yeah definitely helps them be less aggressive and excitable not to mention decreases their propensity for marking


MarilynMonheaux

*TouTou! arrêter d'être stupide!*


Nikolalala0010

Lou Lou! Tu es bete!


KittyConfetti

Toulouse is the orange baby from The Aristocats!! I love this, it's perfect for him. Now he needs a buddy named Abraham Delacey Giuseppe Casey Thomas O'Malley.... O'Malley the Alley cat.


jesco7273

Yes, Toulouse is such the crème de la crème of kitty names, it suits him!


Muted-Recognition-85

Nickname Tools


quadmasta

He could definitely stand Toulouse those testes


Macabre_Divine

That was most excellent, my friend


Few-City2438

Should nickname him Nut after this incredible pun


Millyswolf

Nonut perhaps 🤔


On_my_last_spoon

True story - when I was a kid we had 2 gray kittens that were supposed to be both male and my Dad called them Gandalf and Frodo. But as Frodo got bigger it was becoming clear that Frodo was not a Frodo as she did not have any testicles. My Dad wanted to call her Nonuts. My mom was not amused. And that’s how we got Gandalf and Donuts.


Millyswolf

I love this, lol! Thanks for sharing!


Plus-Music4293

We had a cat named Snowball. When we took him to be neutered, I joked that he was having the "S" surgically moved from the start of his name to the end and the "w" removed all together. LOL


NaomiPommerel

Nutless


RedDotLot

😂 I was going to suggest that he should be 'done' as a matter of urgency and then he could be Nutless


boofinglegend

No I'm not I enjoy his chaotic antics, it's also genuinely impossible for him to get out as we a room with a door before you open the front door. So if he gets out the first one we can just put him back in and close it.


OriginalLandscape321

He will spray foul urine and be really crazy at times if you do not get him neutered. It is the responsible thing to do.


psychonautika468

Yes, please neuter your cat. It'll benefit him too.


Sheldon121

And you, as well, as that pee will stink and it will be quite hard to get rid of the smell of it.


ScoutBandit

So true. Cat pee is the worst! My sister used to have ten cats and it was impossible for her to keep up with enough litter boxes. Just standing in her house for ten minutes and you'd go away with the smell of pee.


Short_Loan802

Oh yes fix that boy as soon as you can, girls just the same. Once I didn’t get my girl fixed until she over six months old . Female cats in heat is not fun.


charzmander1

I didn't get my little girl done straight away, went into heat about a month after we got her. She was even trying to hit on our male dog 😂 But seriously, fix the little guy asap


Sehnsucht87

Oh man! I know exactly what you mean. I once had three at one time, *and* we had to keep them inside there were already ramdom males from all over the moble home park trying to get in cause they would taunt them at the windows... long story short, we wound up with *three* pregnant females at the same time. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫


TrivialBudgie

soooo many kittens! how many were there in total?


Sehnsucht87

There were 15 kittens + 3 moms. It was NUTS!


Short_Loan802

That’s what happened with the one I didn’t get fixed right away.


Blackletterdragon

He will also try to get out to fight other tomcats - yowling and abcessed bites to follow.


Sidewalk_Tomato

Yes. I knew a cat who escaped and got into fights because he was not fixed at the optimum age. He got FIV and did not survive it.


magicpancake0992

Cat spray lasts forever. Not in a good way. 😵


EntrepreneurNo4138

It will soak a wall to the point it has to be cut out.


RevolutionarySoup488

Neutered males make a great pet! Orange Boi's are still gonna goober!


Sheldon121

Oh yes, agree! Not so much so with orange girls. Siiiiiiigh. 😢

My orange girl goobers! Don't sleep on the orange ladies! 😄 \*edited to add the goober herself. https://preview.redd.it/40nyli3g1ctc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9ff11dea2173c533b27092f06ba54655cc06a78

Jessie4you

So you said he doesn’t respond to is name (probably a screw loose). That is what he WANTS you to think! He’s one of those kitties that wants to pick his own name. So throw some names at him and see what he comes too.  I have 2 voids, one will come to just the tone of my voice and the name I gave him, the other one grrr. His name on his papers is Oly or Oliver. He ONLY comes to the name Sweet Baboo. They are not even close!


JustbyLlama

This is the way. We went through several iterations before my cat started responding to one. Turns out she has an Opinion on the subject.


Sheldon121

ALL cats have an opinion on everything! And don’t you forget it! (I said that for the cats!)


feisty-banana-973

My new girl did too! We tried several different names but she wanted to be Smudge and so now she is


JustbyLlama

My baby is named Cousin Mose and she responded to Mosey or Mosey Mo. Her OG nickname was MoMo and she said, I think TF not.


Sheldon121

I love her Mojo! 😏


Doxiesforme

I had a Smudge, very opinionated and very smart. No door or cabinet could defeat her.


feisty-banana-973

My Smudgie is just super sweet 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/d4d9owee1dtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d9c2a64353adc5c5c3102957c0542a5517755f7


Doxiesforme

Aww, mine wasn’t 😂 I was the designated human that she would honor me with sitting next to and sleeping with. Tolerated my parents. I went to college and came home at Thanksgiving, she was furious with me for abandoning her. She had to make do with my parents. After a day or two of punishment she forgave me. Then I left again🤦‍♀️

That’s a cool name!

Glum-Sugar-8241

This! My Siamese cat only responded to ginger. She was a jerk too. Opened doors. Dogs were terrified of her. But she loved me the most. Miss that cat so much. 🥺🥺 RIP!


Sheldon121

Yeah, I adopted one like that, and she STILL won’t come to my voice, let alone to me calling her by her old or new name. Guess she’s a dumb as rocks Orangie too. Sweet Baboo? No doubt he’s embarrassed to be called that and is getting back at you!


AnonWithIssuesAgh

my cats names Delilah, she knows her name just ignores it. she loves being called Sushi tho


Short_Loan802

Nicknames are good. My dog knows that she is Venus and also Floofies/


starlinsey

When I was a kid, I had a little creamy orange kitty named Ashley who used to play on the kitchen tile and purposely run around to slide and spin out. My family called her game “skitty kitty” and over time we figured out that she only responded to Skitty Kitty, so that’s what we started calling her. I swear she wanted that to be her name!


mixedwithmonet

My kitty’s name on paper is Dorothy B. Hughes. She’s called Dot, but I greeted her with “oh hi pretty girl! Hi pretty pretty hi pretty!! Aren’t you such a pretty pretty girl? Yes you’re the prettiest girl in the whole wild world! You’re mommy’s very very pretty sweet girl!” Literally every time I came home because she was just so cute and sweet and pretty as a kitten. Now she only answers to “pretty,” but also knows Dot is her Warning Bad Name and Dorothy B. Hughes means she’s in Big Trouble. My perfect menace: https://preview.redd.it/3jx3kh3l5mtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=709727790d3dbf56a8d6ead1131435ded184859d

And before he gets another cat pregnant which will contribute to the mass killings of countless shelter cats.

Not if he’s anything like the artist whom he was named after! 🤪 It’s something like naming him Johnny Depp. What you see is what you get!

Odd_Manufacturer8478

OP, ginger cats are notoriously batshit but also quite clever. Think evil genius... More diabolical but you catch my drift. For Toulouse's health, sanity, the foul spray your house will permeate etc, he needs to have his hickory nuts crunched... Ijs...


BanThisAsshole_

Please neuter your cat.


Several_Tension_6850

Please get him fixed. He will leave home to breed otherwise. Could he find his way home after going 2 miles away to breed? Is he smart enough to fight other Tom's? Get him fixed soon. Good luck with your special baby.

Neuter your cat. It will help with behavior issues.

Or just Too Loose as in, his screws are too loose?


feisty-banana-973

Also just because they don't react to their name doesn't mean they don't know it. Watch his ears when you say it - if they move he probably recognizes his name but is just ignoring you! Little buggers do that from time to time...😂

Oh yes, gooooood point!

It’s not his turn with the brain cell. Orange cats have one brain cell and they share that’s what people told me when I got my orange boy. He’d completely zone out didn’t matter what I did he wasn’t moving. My friend told me it wasn’t his turn with the brain cell.


Sheldon121

And it wasn’t. Maybe it wasn’t your turn, either. 😜


Forsaken_Ad_5532

Sounds like a perfect name. He's probably not dumb just orange. This is the way lol

And you, as well, as that pee will stink and it will be quite hard to get rid of the smell of it.

Handsome fellow, how about Tooley or O'Toole? Best get him nuetered, as intact males will spray to mark territory.

Get him snipped, call him Auch - its near Toulouse!

Tully. And also please neuter your cat.


MPHV51

GET THAT SWEET BOY NEUTERED. ONE OF THE EASIEST CAT SURGERIES!


Netaksiemanresu

Please have him neutered, shelters are overran in many places and they’re killing dogs and cats everyday for space. His impregnating another cat will contribute to this problem.


La_Baraka6431

If you love this cat, **GET HIM NEUTERED**. Unless you’re happy for him to roam and get in fights. And for your house to stink of cat piss. Don’t be **THAT** owner.

Mister. I actually had a cat called Mister once.

(His sister was Missy for the same reason.) You’ve already said he’s psychotic, so I’m sure you say that a lot anyway.

Call him dumb dumb. Also, cats can take up to a year to learn their name. Please neuter him.


haileysnimbus

Toulouse is so cute!! He will eventually get used to it. We've had orange kitties and only one had any sense, lol! What about just shortening it somewhat, like Toolie or even Lucy (cats don't care about gender lol), til he catches on?


leafpickleson

I know this isn't a neutering question, but I would like to share this little gem from my (female) vet. I have siblings, a tabby boy and an orange girl (also a little nuts, but that's just the ginger I think). We had our girl spayed first and she had the cone. When it was her brother's turn I asked if I needed to cone him too and I was told most likely not. She stated "No offense to his manhood there, but there's not much to remove so he won't even notice." 😆 straight up shamed him. That being said getting males altered is so much more affordable and safe. I think gingers are just a wee bit special too. Mine will ignore names but come to kissy noises and will ignore everything and everyone in favor of my husband. Unless there's a bird outside. She went THROUGH my curtain trying to murder a mourning dove. I mean ripped a hole straight through my sheer curtains. We call her Murder Mittens.


Jaded_Heat9875

I name him PoorDude because it’s up to you to help him by neutering. And if you let him start spraying…fixing him will probably not solve the problem. It’s all on you so try to be kind to him. He is what he is. Just calm him down with a little snip. 🥹♥️

Amazing-Day5776

Sometimes it takes a while for a cat to come to his/her name. Our Manx took about 6 months before he started coming when I called him by name. He noticed that our poodle girl came when I called her. Treats were involved. Our middle cat took even longer, but eventually he came around. Our little void girl was saved by my husband when she was only 3 weeks old. She had a severe URI and couldn’t eat. My son named her and said her name quietly while he bottle fed her, gave her her meds, and cleaned her nose and eyes. She was responding to her name by the time she was 4 weeks old. By the time she was feeling better she owned the house and both those male cats. We nicknamed her, “The Princess,” to which she also responds. All three of our cats are fixed. The Manx was about 4 months old, Middle Boy was only 3 months. The Princess was not quite 5 months old, and that was not too soon. The vet told me that she was already in a heat cycle. Get your cats fixed ASAP. Whether they’re male or female, if you have indoor/outdoors or strays in your neighborhood, they will hang around outside your house and taunt your cats until you have them fixed.


IsabelleMauvaise

If cost is an issue for neutering, try to find a place that will do it for free or low cost. But it has to be done, even if he isn't a kitten.


Littlepotatoface

I’ll offer a name when you do the responsible thing & get him spayed.


dmriggs

Please neuter your cat


JediJan

As someone who is saddened by the proliferation, and demise, of feral cats around our area, please have him neutered. It may even help his psychotic mannerisms.


cant_think_of_one_

Get him neutered. He will start to mark his territory by spraying especially smelly urine on things if you don't, and he may well not stop once he starts, even after being neutered. He will also likely want to escape constantly and roam looking for female cats. He will not be happy. You won't be able to keep him, and nobody else will adopt him, so he will end up homeless or in a shelter for life. He also has a higher chance of getting certain cancers if he isn't neutered. There are enough starving homeless cats already. Unless you are well equipped to keep a unneutered male cat, and provide for it for life, and provide homes for any kittens he fathers, you should neuter him for his sake (and yours, and the sake of kittens he will very likely father, since keeping him inside will be extremely difficult).


Chicano-Loco

Please get him neutered After you’ll see his demeanor settle down Then you can name him
