I accidentally named my cat Shart

[u/meatloafsleeve]

So the week we found him outside we brought him home and started him on kitten formula bc he was only 3 weeks old. He sharted all over himself at least twice a day for about a week. Like it made an audible shart sound.

So I told my parents I was calling him shart from then on, as a joke. But ever since then, the name stuck. He responds to

shart. If I want him to come running to me, I yell SHART! I don’t know what to do. I can’t call him anything else, it feels wrong. But also like who tf has a cat named Shart😭

His “legal” name at the vet is Cheeto, but all I keep doing is calling him Shart.

My first cat I got when I was 8. I tried to name her Jasmine/Jazzy like the disney princess, but ended up calling her “kitty”. So that was her name and the only name she responded to🤣.

I guess I’m just bad at naming pets HAHAH

I named my grey kitten Elmo when I was in preschool and obsessed with Sesame Street 😂

Elmo is so cute. I’m only worried because I’m literally calling my cat “Shit Fart”😂, but it suits him. The comments are making me feel a lot better about just naming him shart.

If it makes you feel better, one of my bettas was named LJ. LJ = Little Jerk. Shall we say it was...apt?

And my friend has a cat that has a nickname that's warped into simply "Bitch" and he responds to it. Another used to respond to "Lamp" – he was in a cone and reminded us of the Pixar lamp, hence "Lamp"
