16	How do you show that your pet is special? When you want to go above and beyond a normal pet name, a formal title is the easiest way to add some sophistication. He's not just Fluffernutter, he's ''Mister'' Fluffernutter! You can usually expect such a pet to be a little lap dog or a pampered kitty. However, they may occasionally be [[FluffyTheTerrible horrible giant scary monsters]], so beware.
17
18	Often overlaps with MisterMuffykins. The RightHandCat is often a Formally-Named Pet. Likewise in pet-related cases of ConsultingMisterPuppet. Depending on the honorific chosen, this can aid in/lead to YourTomcatIsPregnant. ''Literature/HowNotToWriteANovel'' mentions this as something that is overdone.

94	* ''Literature/LifeOfPi'' has an unusual variation in Richard Parker, the 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger (who's a zoo animal rather than strictly a pet). He's always referred to by his full name. The hunter who caught him was named Richard Parker and wanted to name him "Thirsty" (since he was caught while drinking), but he mixed up the paperwork so that legally, the tiger was Richard Parker and its captor was listed as Thirsty [[OnlyOneName None Given]].

Charlie is incredulous at the name, only to be pointed out that it was a human who named her that way. But it ''is'' her name nevertheless, so he ought to use it right. More properly, she's to be addressed as Director Mrs. Tum-Tum (not Director Tum-Tum).
103	* Creator/PeterSBeagle's ''Literature/{{Tamsin}}'' features a cat simply named Mister Cat.
104	* In ''Literature/WhatAMess'', the eponymous Afghan puppy is actually named Prince Amir of Kinjan, but that's not what people ''call'' him. His mother is named The Duchess of Kinjan.

115	* Doña Clotilde's pet dog in ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' is named "Satanás". Satanás means Satan in Spanish. The joke is that, as she's though to be a witch in the show, every time she calls for her pet they think she is summoning the devil.
116	* On* ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'': Ferguson finds a kitten and names him "William F. Buckley."

130	* The dog on ''Series/NickyRickyDickyAndDawn'' actually had two distinguished titles. His previous owner named him Lord Timothy. Afterwards, the name that was chosen by t* ''Series/OperationOuch'' did a segment on a comfort dog who works at Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

159	'''Nathaniel:''' There are worse names, I suppose...
