It is theorized that cats and dogs "learn" their names by recognizing the syllables and the rhythm of your voice as you repeat them again and again. If this is the case, here is a list of names that Murray could possibly believe are his after living with us for nine months or so:
Mr. Pants
Murray-Pants
Furry-Pants
Mr. Pantalones
Sir Stinkbottom
Fatso Catso
Tubba Love
Magnificent Beast
Old Lumpy-Lumps
Feet Are Not Toys, You Know
Aww, Whosha Cutie? Ish it Ooo? Yesh it Ish!
Get Off There!
You're Hungry Again?!
Ow Ow Cut it Out You Sadistic Bastard
The Shedding Machine
My Water! Mine!
What Did You Knock Over This Time?
Good God, What Did You Do In There? (Murray's special "exiting the litterbox" moniker)
Aren't You Just the Best Cat Ever?
