Hey It’s Jet Here.
Ok, it’s not the quadruple bypass of the scary kind… no heart trouble in Casa Jet, thank goodness. No, this quadruple bypass is of the bestowing “by passing” it on kind!
Over the last two or so weeks, we’ve received the “Seven Things About Me” award from four of our pals: Savannah’s Paw Tracks (she received an award today – Concats Savvy!), Feline Purrspective, Hailey Chronicles and The Princess Tails. Please go visit my friends and tell ‘em Jetty sent ya!
Mom’s pretty excited because her favorite color is BLUE and her favorite number is SEVEN!
Here are the rules: Share 7 things about yourself.
As you know, I, Gentleman Jet, try to exhibit proper manners, so, I decided to share the nicknames (some of which you have read about) of the seven inhabitants (VBP – vocab builder project) of Casa Jetty. Mom researched the origin of nicknames and found this: …The idea of a nickname didn’t come from English origins, though. They were originally common in ancient Greece and Rome, especially when used as terms of affection, which the Greeks called hupokorisma, meaning “calling by an endearing name.”
I think you can feel how much the humans love you because the nicknames usually get delivered with certain voice inflections, too.
- ME! – Jet, Jet Black, Jetty, Jetty Spaghetti, Jettylicious, Mr. Handsome, Mr. Sniffy, Gentleman Jet, Gentleman Jetty, Jaunty Jet (named by Lady Litchi), Jetster, Jetterific, Yogurt nose.
- JJ – Jasmine Joy, Joy Jasmine, JJ, Gorgeous Girl, Cutie girl, Little Miss (fill in the blank depending on the situation).
- Puffy – Puff, Huffy Puffy, Puffster, Mr. Puff, Puffy Boy, Puff ‘n Stuff.
- Rachel (my human sister) – Rach, Rachie, Twihard girl, Moldy, Rachie Rach.
- Fluffy – (OTRB – Aug. 2012) – Fluff, Mr. Chatty Boy, Fluffster, Fluffers.
- Koko – (OTRB – Sept. 2011) – Koko, Koko Puff, Koko Poko, Kokola, Sweetie Girl, Kokolicious, Koko Loco, Jelly Belly girl.
- Mugs – (OTRB Summer 2002) – Missing Cat (M.C.), Muggsalufagous pronounced Mugs-a-lof-a-gous, Mugsy, Mugsy boy.
Next: Name seven other blogs to talk about their seven favorite things. We know that many of you have already received this lovely award, so, we’ll try to find some of our newer pals who have not. If we duplicate, no worries, know that you were in our thoughts.
We recently joined the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop hosted by Pepi Smart Dog (formerly by Cokie the Cat!).

Hey Savvy, Jet here. Hi Miss Linda…
Oh my, oh my, oh my! So sorry, I can only apologize for Mom taking liberties with the title.
Thanks again for the award.
We try to show off different blogpals so we can all connect.
TWIhard girl? *snicker* VERY cute. Concats on getting a 4-way uh…err…BYPASS! MOL!!
Hey FaRaDaY, Hey Maxwell, Hey Allie, Jet here.
Thanks guys… BOL… 4 way!!! You understand Twihard? Now you know Mom’s suffering!!!
You scared me with that title too! Congrats and your list was way cool!
Hey Brian, Jet here.
Big apologies, dude… guess we should edit! Thanks for the list compliment.
A big congratulations to ya! And don’t scare us like that again!
Hey Amber, Jet here.
Guess we didn’t think we would cause such a scare… so sorry… and thanks.
Mom thought you should know that not only do Mom (and Papi/Giovanni) call me Neve, but they’ve got a few nicknames for me too: Girly, Bubbe, Pacciocolina, Batufolina -these are from my italian Papi and Mom’s favorite (and slightly embarrassing) snortypuss. I’m guessing she thinks it’s pretty cute when I get excited when Mom and/or Papi come home!
Hey Neve, Jet here. Hi Miss Beverly and Mr. Giovanni.
Wowee, we’ve known you all this time and never knew that about you. How cute!!!
We love the nicknames! Have a great night! Lee and Phod
Hey Lee, Hey Phod, Jet here.
Thanks, back at ya!
(and thanks again for the award!)
Ha! Fancy being chosen 3 times!!!
i shall have to try and call you Jettilicious from now on, suits you
Hey PZ, Jet here. Hey Raffles!
Thanks to you… 4 times!!! Oh, gosh, PZ, that would be *blushing* just fine… nice in fact…special coming from royalty like you!
Hi Jet! Hi Miss Lori, Hi Everyone!
My huMom calls me all sorts of nicknames. When I’m unhappy (with Hitch!) she calls me Miss Misery. Then there’s Missypoo, Miss-Oh-Lee, Beauty (Hitch yelling from other room) DON’T FORGET MISSYPISSY!! )and she calls Hitch, Mr. Hichard, Hitcheroni, the cat who has big feet (sung to the rice-a-roni jingle) the Sheriff and Mr. Handsome. I call him….(what mom?…..I wasn’t gonna say that!!)…I call him…well, geez,….nevermind. Anyway…. HuMom calls our boy/man Jakiepoo. That kinda funny cause he’s taller than her now and he gets aggravated when she baby talks him. I like it when she talks like that. Good things happen when she uses that voice…. Sometimes BACON happens!
Thanks for sharing all the cool nicknames in your house. It’s fun to know things like that. It’s good to know that our humom’s not the only one making up silly names for her furbabies. So, I’m gonna go explain to Hitch why it’s NOT NICE to yell from another room. Take care everyone. (muttering…..I ‘m gonna take care of…..)
Hey Mistletoe, Hey Hitch, Jet here. Hi Miss Dorothy.
We’re grinning side-to-side reading all your fun nicknames! Mom asked me to share that you reminded her that she called Mugs – Mugsarooni too! Love the jingle, Mom will probably go to sleep singing it!
Yeah, Rachie Rach, prefers Rach or Rachel now that she’s taller than Mom! (isn’t everyone!)
Excellent point… nickname voice usually means good things here, too!
Yes, manners and etiquette (VBP – vocab builder project) make for a proper gentleman… (see if Hitch buys that like I do!)
Well done on your award!! A pawty is called for me thinks!!
Hey Dalton, Jet here.
We’ve noticed that you are quite a pawty kind of dude. We must find a way to pawty together for a fun cause or good event… let’s put on our thinking caps!!!
*rushes off to find is finking cap from the cupboard*
Hey Dalton, Jet here.
You crack me up!
Hey! ConCats Jet on your award
Loved the nicknames ….Yogurt Nose??? MOL And thanks for by-passing it onto us too! 
. We will have to make up seven things now!!! Hmmmm………?
Hey Austin, Jet here.
Thanks so much, dude. Ah yes, yogurt nose… thought we posted more concretely (VBP – vocab builder project) about that. You just gave Mom an idea!
Most welcome and most deserved.
Congratulations! Woofs from Jeffie and Rudy

Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Marg.
Sorry, Miss Marg, it’s Mom’s fault….
Glad you enjoyed the nickname list… We’re about to have dinner, so, I’m happy already. The weather finally turned a bit, we’ve been enjoying longer walks and snuggles in bed with Mom at night.
Whoo, we left a comment, looks like it took!
