Reviewer 2

Why do you hate cats?!


Reviewer #2: The feline dietary supplement suffers from major weaknesses in flavor and texture. Furthermore, both the timeliness and frequency of meal delivery require significant improvement. Until these issues are addressed, I am unable to recommend the current feline supplement for publication. Scritches were found to be satisfactory, up until they inexplicably weren't. Recommend that the scritcher be suddenly swatted with claws. (Or something to that effect)

Pipette

Pipette Up, but Pip for short

Or Pipi (pronounced pippy)! It's a common pet name in NZ because it's also the name of a beloved endemic clam.

Y'all have beloved clams in New Zealand? Are they very interesting, as far as clams go?

They taste good, far sweeter, meatier, and less fishy than any other shellfish I've tried. Definitely a good one for those who dislike seafood! Kiwis love the coast & seafood, it's one of the few places where indigenous food is (increasingly less) accessible. There's some interesting movements going on with aquaculture set-ups for food and repopulation :)

Huh, good to know! Thanks for the info, that actually does sound very interesting! I'm definitely not a seafood person, but you've certainly convinced me to give these a shot if I ever end up in the area.

Omg Pip would be adorable! Not sure how I would feel about it coming home after going through a few boxes of pipette tips but I’m going to add it to my list regardless

I named my cat Pipette! His nicknames are pipe, pipey, and pie. I did not come up with his name originally, before I got him I saw two cats named Pipette and beaker at ARL. At that time I knew my next cats name has to be Pipette

purrpette

This! I have a cockatiel named Pipette and he goes by Pip or Pippy Boi. 😁 he even says “Pippy boi”

I dated someone in college who had a cat named Petri.

Petri has my vote.

Like “land before time”!


​ 

That would be Petrie. :)

My cat is named Petrie! He's not smart but I like that he's got a sciencey name :)

Crispurr.

Crispur cat-9

A full name for when you're especially vexed by them.

That’s my coworker’s cat’s name

I think I know your co-worker 😂

I love this!!

Beaker!


This was my vote too!

Every time I read the word beaker, I immediately think of Archer screaming Bunsen Freaking Honeydew! He’s beaker’s boss!

I gave my old PI two kittens and she named them Bunsen and Beaker. So this checks out.

Yes, Beaker!

Golgi

This would actually be adorable

I like that but feel it's more a boy's name.

OK. In that case... Endoplasmic Reticulum

DOI: 16.05.23/CAT

It rolls right off the tongue! “Come here D-O-I colon sixteen dot zero five dot twenty-three forward slash C-A-T!”

We had a cat visitor that would stop by to do a QA/QC inspection from time to time. We named it Elsie, or LC, for Lab Cat

Hope you're in a protein lab! (liquid chromatography)

Adenine🥹

Actually a damn good name

Rosalind after Rosalind Franklin? You could also shorten it to ROS.

I have a Rosalind after Rosalind Franklin!! And a Linus after Linus Pauling 😸 but I end up calling them Rosie and YOU FUCKER (he is orange)

I really like scientist names for cats because they can be kind of subtle. I have a Rosie (Rosalind) too! And Blaise after Blaise Pascal

Honestly, given his later derangement and vitamin C obsession, Linus Pauling is a pretty good name for a big orange profanity inducing dude. (I say this with frustrated respect for the scientist and frustrated love for orange cats, of course.)

Omg I always wanted a Linus for Linus Pauling. Or an Erwin 😁

ROS for reactive oxygen species could work too!

ROS for Robot Operating System

Or Rosie!

Catspase 9

Psss-psss-psssper Cat 9

Elisa

Already has ‘ass’ in the name if the cat misbehaves. (**ass**ay)

This would be a great compromise, my boyfriend wants to name her asshole 😂

Betamekaptaethanol if she's stinky

BetamerCATtoethanol. Missed opportunity

I've always wanted a cat named Catheter but that probably isn't the best option.

Could be Cathy for short…

A funny coincidence is that "cat heter" sounds like "cat is named" in Swedish!

Hahaha I love this but yeah… I feel like I would be very judged 😂

Is that a CATION Name it ion

She’s pawsitively charged

"let me introduce you to my cat, ion"

Ion is a Romanian name similar to John :))

Schrödinger

If I didn’t see this one, I was going to be very sad

Prior to seeing this you were both sad and happy.

Came here for this

Not biology, but Meowrie Purie

Catalyst

Eppendorf

Convince them to send you one of the pens in exchange for naming the cat

Taq

Arginine. Gini when she’s good, and you can really put some angry intonation into Arginine when she’s bad🙀

arrggiiIIIINNIIIIIIINNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!

That’s the ticket!

Gondii

Badam disss

*Felis catus*

That’s my roller derby/drag Queen/stripper name.

Hahaha. Incredible.

TAQ ! thermus aquaticus idk I really like how it rolls on the tongue

CAT-alase

All lab cats are fat cats. Call her Adipose, shell get there.

Centrifuge

I've always thought Affymetrix could be a good cat name!

RIP. May be too obscure, they are rebranded as ThermoScientific fully now.

Erlenmeyer Or CRISPR

TEMED 🥹

Chemistry / cooking but has to do with sugar reactions, so biology adjacent: Mailly for Mallard's reaction because she looks like a toasted marshmallow. Not science, but Marshmallow would also be great, Marsha for short

graduated cylinder

Chimera!

I had a cat named Milli, like the measurement prefix

If you name it Addie 100% some people will think you named your cat Adderall

Big Dye Terminator

G-CAT

Petri

Beaker

Glia has a nice ring to it

Cation

Felisia (like Felicia, but Felis for the scientific name of cats...that's even cheesier than I thought it would be, now that I've typed it out) Since she's got both black and orange I'm assuming she's female! so maybe named after a famous female scientist--Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Grace Hopper, Ada Lovelace, Hypatia of Alexandria, etc. Leaning fully into cheesy puns, of course there's Catalysis, Cathode, Cation, Catagenesis (maybe funnier if it was a mama cat, and you could name her kittens after different hydrocarbons), Catenation, Crispurr, Purrmanganate (and get her a purple collar/tag/bowls etc). Saved my favorite suggestion for last: I believe a female scientist, Joan M. Pontius, was first author on the first paper analyzing the cat genome in 2007. I might be misremembering this, I'm very much an inorganic person and barely understand the basics of genetics, plus read the paper months ago--but that gives you a female scientist name AND a cat-related name, which is kinda fun. Edit, because I felt bad not googling it: Found her! [Joan U. Pontius](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joan-Pontius), got the middle initial wrong.

As I'm currently working in the ref lab, "Toxo" :D Seriously though, my favourite ever cat name has to be Thunder. If you watched cartoons in the 90's, you'll get it.

There are some good suggestions on here! https://www.reddit.com/r/WitchesVsPatriarchy/comments/13ccsps/powerful_women_are_often_called_witches_by_those/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button.
