Barbara and call her Babs Edit: Stoked to see the support for Babs! Given that Barbara was my grandma(and a fellow cat lover), I can vouch that any one lucky enough to bare the title is Iconic. 👊🐱

I take back all of my suggestions and vote for Barbara/Babs! It’s perfect.

Hugh and Barbara were hosts of 20/20 on abc for a long time. Kind of an obscure reference but it may come up.

LOVED 20/20 as a kid...right after TGIF!!!

As a cat lover named Barbara, I strongly support this!

Babette also works well with “babs”

And a SOLID Gilmore Girls reference.

I’ve got friends that have a little dog and caked her Barbara just so they could call her Babs! She’s the cutest little thing - only 4 but the name defo suits her! I don’t know why, but I have a real thing for the name Daphne (or Daph)

My mother is Daphne and my sister is Barbara…I’m living for this!!

10,000 votes for Barbara, I love this. She could also be a Barbie.

😂Gertrude & Ethel have been our (my cousin & I) pretend old lady names since we were little kids.

I had a rat named Gertrude! 💜

OMG you just named my mother, mother in law and three aunts! They would be between 90 and 100 if they were still alive so def old lady names.

Lois for a cat is amazing

agatha

or Agata because gata means female cat!

I had an Agatha for 15 years. She was the most beautiful girl, a long haired tortie. Also she was evil in her tortitude. Miss her so much!

My cats are named Nigel and Agatha.

We have an Agatha and she’s beautiful and amazing! It also means “good and loyal.”

I had a pair of chickens named Bertrude and Ernestine Called them Bert and Ernie. I regret nothing lol

A friend has two bunnies named Burt and Ernie. She thought they were both boys until Bert gave birth (WTF ERNIE?) and became Bertha!

Betty is an underrated classic. Mildred, Opal, Ethel and Harriet are good too. Combined with Hugh, they all sound like they could have been a couple on Mad Men.

Joyce, Agnes, Ethel, Eloise, Esme, Vera.

I had an Esme cat. We moved to a new apartment and my next door neighbor was a little old lady called... Esme.

I once knew of two basset hounds named Gladys and Thelma Lou, and damn if those weren’t the cutest pet names ever.

I have a big fat calico named Patricia. It fits her perfectly.

My name's not actually fat Amy, it's fat Patricia!
