I keep hearing women being called "cat". Is that short for Catrina? Maybe something else?

Anyone want to share their nicknames?

I hear 'cat' a lot, too. The Kat I know is really name Kathy. So I guess they call her Kat for short. I like the nickname.

My DD called me momcat for years. Sometimes still does.

This is trivial and silly but my hubby and BIL (his brother) refer to me as ""Q"".

One of my two brothers calls me "Cat." I don't know if it's a shortening of my name, or a hint to my personality.

My dh has a strange sense of humor. {#emotions_dlg.wub} He always nicknames people. He works mostly with women and one day he was referring to someone by "Shoe". I finally said, who is Shoe? He said, it's "Lacey". Do you get his warped sense of humor? Luv him, tho.

Hi, Preds. Qute, now that's qute. Not so much standing for Queen, I think maybe the spelling of odd? {#emotions_dlg.unsure}
