Gardiner Cat Wins National Wacky Pet Name Contest

Kelli Hoover in Gardiner named her cat Pickles McButterpants the Muffin Slayer, and now the kitty has won the Nationwide’s Wacky Pet Name Contest.

The victory means Pickles receives a custom canvas portrait, one-year subscription for monthly delivery of pet toys and treats and $100 gift cards from some of the nation’s top retailers.

From the contest page:

According to his mom, Pickles can be a bit of a brat to his cat sisters. But he’s a sweet guy, whose best friend is a dog who is unsure she’s a dog. When asked how to come up with a wild and wacky name like Pickles McButterpants the Muffin Slayer, she adds, ‘You have to find one that fits. You can’t force a name on a pet, but when you say the name and it’s the right one, it will just sound right.’
