When I was a kid, we had a big fat Siamese cat named "Meatball".
It makes me laugh to think back about the times my mom would yell out the back door of the house for him to come home: "Meatball! Meatball!"
This is terrific!
My kids and I spent some time on our porch* a few years ago thinking of fun names for pets we'd like to holler so our neighbors would wonder what's going on. (e.g. Taxi, Jesus, Hey, Stay, Puddle) We practiced yelling them a bit just to see how they tasted.
Chuckling just thinking of us yelling "Meatball!" which we hadn't thought of.

* this all started because I was sitting on that porch, in a rocking chair, with beer in hand, yelling** for one of our adopted dogs who got his name at the local animal shelter: "Junior! Junior!"
** Not kidding. Really. Unironically. My family noticed and the game above was born.
