Cat Reacts to 5 Names His Owner Gave Him in Funny Video
Pet parents love giving their furry companions nicknames — sometimes cute, sometimes ridiculous. What starts as a simple name on a vet form often transforms into a series of affectionate — or downright bizarre — variations. One cat owner recently shared a hilarious video showcasing the many names she has for her cat, much to his apparent dismay.

In the Instagram video, content creator Fia James introduces her cat and explains just how elaborate his name situation has become. She starts by confidently declaring, “I don’t think anybody has a better named cat than me.” Aware that some people give their cats quirky names like “Popsicle Stick” or “Trash Can,” she insists that her cat’s name tops them all.
Officially, the cat’s legal name is Rupert Dior, which sounds fancy enough on its own. However, according to James, that is not what she actually calls him. Instead, she has affectionately dubbed him “Whoopus,” a playful and exaggerated twist on “Whoopie.”
Fia James even breaks down the pronunciation, demonstrating how to say it properly: “So it’s like Whoopie Pie, but it’s like you dip with the ‘who.’ So you go Whoopie…” Then, she adds a key detail — saying “Whoopus” with a lisp, which gives the name an even sillier effect. “You go Woopis… And he loves it,” she claims.
Meanwhile, as James enthusiastically explains her cat’s many names, Rupert Dior — aka Whoopus — stares at her with the ultimate unbothered cat expression. His blank, slightly judgmental look gives the video a funnier tone, as if he is contemplating his life choices or regretting being part of this moment.
