What's a good name for a dog/cat hybrid? →[More:]
I've been softening you guys up for this one. I just engineered a hybrid between a dog and a cat (basenji/abyssinian), about the size of a cat, but obedient and responsive to vocal commands (beyond just shouting angry random syllables when she sits in food).

Though I don't have pictures, she's real cute, and makes these funny gurgling sounds I just can't get enough of.

What should I name her?

If it's a biological hybrid: Gugh (smashup of God Hates Hugh).
If it's a frankensteinian hybrid: Patches.

I used to have a turtle named Patches. He was an Eastern Painted, and he had distinctive markings on his ventral shell. Thus, "Patches."

I'd like to retract my earlier post. I just thought of a much better name for a dog/cat hybrid: Fuzzy Monster.

Call it Dat.

So when people ask "what's that?", you can say "Dat?"
