My ferret hears me call her "you little brat!" more than her actual name Zoe. However, the best nickname I've heard came from my girlfriend's mom, who calls Zoe a "pipe racoon," because it "looks like a racoon blown through a pipe." Markos (and Zoe "I am not a weasel, and I'm definetely not a rat!") [Posted in FML issue 1384]
