So this little shit survived being thrown around for an hour by my neighbor's dog before she called me over to rescue it.

I'm needing a proper survivor/strong as fuck name.

(The dog was a puppy, and didn't leave any puncture wounds. Just some pneumo thorocia, a lot of internal bruising, and a possible broken or bruised rib. She is currently planted firmly next to my leg on the couch with a hospital tent waiting for her when I go to sleep.)

Her name is furiousa!

- Oh this has real promise! I'm a fan of the genre and have had it for years from a humble bundle. I'm going to put energy into actually making progress right now!
  Edit: update I didn't have it, but if anyone has a spare key, I have soooooo many unused ones to trade if anyone wants. I've been buying them since the first super meat boy one.
Furiosa
- Ohhhhhh. This is a winner!
  Edit: I am legit sorry to every other entrance that were fantastic!
- Little shit saw the weakness in the back of my head!
Kong.
- In a fucked up way, it kinda fits.
Revenant.
She's gonna grow up and teach that pup a thing or two if she ever gets outside again.
(you can call her Rev for short)
- This may sound a bit shallow but between elden ring and doom. I don't think I could cause myself flashbacks everytime I say "wud up little (thing I secretly hate)."
  Still love the energy, and you get an updoot regardless!
  
  Fair enough. How about Randy?
Mittens the Devourer
- Ok, this one deserves to be in the finale
Gloria Gaynor
- I love the literal interpretation! Neighbor footed the ~$300 vet bill and she just told me she thinks it should be "lucky". I'm thinking calling this little shit that only in the neighbors presence. She will be an indoor only cat cause it's a fairly rural area with tons of wildlife that will make her disappear in an instant.
Freya / Freyja
- Please, OP, see these names, and mark them, for they are good, and right.
  
  Freyja carries weight, as she is currently consuming my love, while simultaneously destroying my sleep schedule.
Surprised I didn’t read Xena
- Fuck me, Lisa lawless has a strange place in my heart!
How about something having to do with the number 8?
..a nod at cats having 9 lives and you helped with her 1st save ❤️
- I dig it. Like with "ocho cinco", but with more thought put into it.
- This has some fun potential: 8/ate, since she almost got ate. 8, one of the cylons from Battle Star Gallactica, she could have a nickname of Boomer, Athena or Sharon.
P!nk.

- Why am I drawn to this so much? Like if she ever got a haircut for medical reasons, it's perfect. Also being a 6'6 ~270lbs super ally, I love subverting cultural normative expectations.
Ok my first suggestion got shot down. Here's my next best (serious) suggestion.
Weaver.
edit: yes I went with that on purpose instead of Ripley because I have too many friends that named their animals Ripley.
- If we're going with an Aliens vibe, why not choose Newt? Small, disheveled, survivor type...?
  
  Glad I checked the thread a few minutes after my last comment. I think it's up between newt&randy.
  
  Another excellent suggestion.
- I'm confused and just asking. Is this an aliens reference when Ripley took over a loader to fuck up the queen alien in number two?
  Sorry I'm on mobile (boost) and can't see a good resolution image.
  
  Yeah, Ripley being the ultimate survivor (until she wasn't, spoiler alert), but I know so many people that named their pet Ripley I felt Weaver was a better choice.
White Blaze (Byakuen), the white tiger from Ronin Warriors (might be a little before your time)
- Lol, you see the size of my ear‽ I was watching DBZ before freeza on network TV before non-wwe/wwf wrestling.
  
  hell yes!
- Whoa that brings me back
My wife suggests "Kittenkind".
- Fuck the bullshit! I'm seriously considering "mankind" cause she is just as cool as homie!
  Seriously, look up his politics! Mankind, or the player behind him, is a pretty cool person by in large.
- Her name on paper is "Angel Furryosa Kittenkind "
- Executive decision a day or two later. She will be named Furryosa aka Kittenkind. I couldn't in good conscience leave the good Foley out of it given his participation.
i like Ori.
i also like Liv.
- Does Lemmy have polls? Cause there are so many good suggestions!
Good Work OP.
Maybe name it Anon.
- Thanks homie
Wolverine!
- Well she already drew first blood when I tried to get her off my shirt to buy her "kitten food"
Lemmy
I'm just shooting out something while drunk. But I heard a song by the lead singer of "the gaslight anthem" called "color me black" recently and because of my nature to go against anything, it's speaking to me.
Any feedback is appreciated and welcome based on that, or any other suggestion.
Makita
- Like the blue drill company?
  
  Ya
I'm going to be boring and just say "Survivor".
Not just because she is one, because obviously she is, but because around the time of her ordeal(?), 7-9-ish hours ago, Parg's "Survivor" was making it through Eurovision's 2nd semifinal.
- Not boring at all homie.
- I am definitely NOT the master in this 🤞 short lived relationship.
Rocky
- Had a super smart Siamese when I was a child, that I don't think I can desecrate the name of.
  But thank you anyways.
Thumper.
- That nickname already belongs to my middle aged cat. Love them both, but they can't share it.
