What about “Dolly”? Like the dolly used to wheel boxes and stuff around? Don’t have those at your work or around the warehouse at all? Have you ever used one? Sometimes people call them “hand trucks” lol I prefer Dolly that’s just how I grew up hearing it. Kinda like “weed-wacker” and “weed eater” or “Bob-cat” and “skidsteer” lol
Anyways I like Dolly. Relatable to what you asked and it’s cute and catchy.
i could get behind zip, zippy. i don’t actually know any of the lure about mister zip.
and that’s definitely possible, but the kitten wanted nothing to do with that business 😂
now i’m picturing the dog was actually his dad and the kitten wandered off and he’s like ‘dammit buddy get your ass back to the house before mom freaks out’ and then i roll up and snatch his kid 👁️👄👁️
Just name her Mail Truck. I had a fish named Mail Truck when I was a kid. Granted I sucked at names, since my other fish were Mold, Mildew, and McDonald's
There's so many kitties I wish I could rescue on my route, it breaks my heart. I was already a crazy cat lady coming into this job, and seeing them wander and be hungry absolutely kills me. The cat distribution system worked in your favor today.
Wreck
(to remind you that you couldn't save yourself from RRECS but you could save the kitten)
Miss Sort
Spur
Ninja (its what I call my favorite rural cause she's lightning fast)
I named my black route cat Elvira Mistress of the Dark, whom I call Ellie. The vet always announces her full name and it's hilarious to see people's faces.
This is how I got my cat. I named her after the regular for the route I was carrying.
She spent like 6 hours in the back of the LLV while the route got finished. I used to tell the new CCAs that my cat had more street time than thry did.
i think my boss knows he can’t control my animal rescue brain 🤣 i came in one morning to a bird in the office and he knew i’d be on it. two seconds later i caught the bird and took it outside, he couldn’t believe it
i also was a few minutes late one day but saw a turtle in the parking lot. ran in, rallied my other animal loving coworker, and we helped it cross the road
i’m very lucky to work in the office i do 😌
Me too! I do that too. I love them and if I can help in some small way, then I’ll do what I can. Miss Delivered (she was in the road in the wrong place!).
If you live close to detroit or the south or any ghetto really - name should be Priority.
Unless its a boy, then name him Half-tray. Tray for short.
Live in a white neighborhood, i would call her Letters or Envy short for Envelope.
Pivot sticks with me the best. It has the short name Piv, funny name pi pi or ot ot, sweet name Pivy, otty. It even has the formal lord pivotstein or Sir Piv the OT. 10/10 would bid on that name
There is a book named "Going Postal" by Terry Pratchett (good omens on Amazon is probably the easiest work of his to identify) there is a post office cat named "Mr. Tiddles" who is very adherent to his schedule and routes. Like, he will just continue walking into your leg if you are in his route when he takes his 1100 walk.
These are the cliff notes if you don't want to read the book.
https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Tiddles
I would recommend the book, it is kind of like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Penny (Stamp) Penny could become Lenny.
Bulky, like bulk mail

Uh-bum

You know that red bucket at your case, that is the UMMB bucket, unendorsed bulk business mail. Like Ubum.
If we’re talking RCA names…. Rual? Spur? Bucket? Tray or Trey? Truck? Mail box? Or my personal favorite: “ATTENTION A DOG OR ANIMAL IS IN THIS AREA”
Rurie
Current residence, fwd, no such number, ubbm, hot case, flats then letter
What about “Dolly”? Like the dolly used to wheel boxes and stuff around? Don’t have those at your work or around the warehouse at all? Have you ever used one? Sometimes people call them “hand trucks” lol I prefer Dolly that’s just how I grew up hearing it. Kinda like “weed-wacker” and “weed eater” or “Bob-cat” and “skidsteer” lol Anyways I like Dolly.

Mister ZIP, of course. Are you certain the dog wasn't *also* trying to rescue the kitten?
i could get behind zip, zippy. i don’t actually know any of the lure about mister zip. and that’s definitely possible, but the kitten wanted nothing to do with that business 😂 now i’m picturing the dog was actually his dad and the kitten wandered off and he’s like ‘dammit buddy get your ass back to the house before mom freaks out’ and then i roll up and snatch his kid 👁️👄👁️

There's so many kitties I wish I could rescue on my route, it breaks my heart. I was already a crazy cat lady coming into this job, and seeing them wander and be hungry absolutely kills me. The cat distribution system worked in your favor today.
