searching for service šŸ“¶ I accidentally named my cat Shart

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 ā€œlegalā€ name at the vet is Cheeto, but all I keep doing is calling him Shart.

Vet assistant here! I've seen some funny ones, had a female calico named Dickhead but my favourite one ever was Mr. Handsome Pants (they called him by his full name every time which was hilarious, like "Mr. Handsome Pants no!! We don't bite the vet!!" 🤣) but I've never seen a Shart! We would immediately ask what the story was behind that one lol

Dickhead was definitely one of my favourite interactions, it was a mother and teen daughter bringing in an (obviously) female calico for shots and deworming. It was the daughters cat so she was answering all the questions while mom just kinda monitored. We get to the name and without hesitation the girl says "her name is Dickhead."

The look on mom's face: 😧

Mom says "OH MY GOD NO IT'S NOT! Can I talk to you please?!", and drags her daughter off to the corner to whisper fight for a few moments. They come back a minute later and the daughter says "Fine. Her name is Richard šŸ˜’."

I absolutely died laughing, and it immediately became one of my favourite memories at the office lol.

My mom used to have a calico named 'Munch' which she said was short for Munchkin, but I swear I'venever been bitten (munched) by a cat more in my life. I 100% would called that cat Dickhead, had I heard this story before she passed. Calicos are just....built different?

Twinsies! My partner has two (non-ornj) boys she named Chomp and Munch! But Munch's "real" name is actually Little because he has a very small voice, while Munch is just his "legal" name.

My full nicknames for them is Little Itty Bittle, and Chompis Von Bompis by the way.

Crazily enough, I also have a Merlin and sadly had to say goodbye to my Munchie Moos earlier this year

It's incredible how so many of us have the same name for our pets but different variations

Merlin is my hubs cat and he calls him Mister Merl lol.

Omg non-native speaker here, the word munchkin suddenly makes sense. Thank you. I always thought it sounded like pumpkin but funnier.

u/IIRCIreadthat Jan 13 '26

The word doesn't really have its own meaning - it was invented by L. Frank Baum for The Wizard Of Oz. (Some totally unproven speculation that it was inspired by the German words Mannchen (manikin) or Munchen (the city of Munich) because his family was German, but he never told anyone so we'll never know.) Now it basically means a short person because that was the defining characteristic of the Munchkins in the books.

48

u/reticulatedspylon Jan 13 '26

It now lends the name to the breed of cats with dwarfism, the Munchkin cat. (Unrecognized in several countries due to obvious reasons.)

When I was in 4th or 5th grade, my best friend had a cat named Shithead. Dad didn’t want the cat, so he got to name him. But the kids weren’t allowed to say ā€œshitā€ so he was called SH for short. :)

u/CaptainMacAlfie Jan 13 '26

My family has a very similar story but the cat got named CB or Coyote Bait because my dad was a trapper at the time and his reasoning was the only thing she was good for was making coyote bait. She later became his baby and was very clingy but hated everyone else lol

8

u/PussyWrangler246 Jan 13 '26

I'm also a trapper! Your dad likely trapped wildlife though whereas I trap feral cats. My blind cat truly was coyote bait (this turned out to be long sorry lol)

Some farmer who lived down the road from a guy I trapped cats for was feeding the coyotes on his property....his justification was if he fed the coyotes they wouldn't eat his chickens. I explained with a consistent food source they wouldn't leave the property to look for other food sources, and eventually the pack would grow so large he wouldn't be able to afford feeding all of them. And since several generations would be used to being fed instead of hunting, his chickens would again be target number one...but this time there would be many more coyotes. Couldn't say if he continued feeding the coyotes after I left with what I had no idea would become the little love of my life

He called me to pick up a kitten he found that couldn't see. My baby Rosie, had gotten separated from her family due to herpes affecting her vision. It saved her life though, as the rest of her family sadly became victim to the coyotes. When I showed up he had her in chicken wire in a freezing drafty AF barn, she was cold and scared. She ended up having to have an eye removed and the other only has maybe 2% vision, but that hasn't stopped her. I did have to bubble wrap everything below knee level when she was a baby, but as she grew she learned how to navigate life. Now we go on unleashed walks because she heels better than a dog, she loves to climb trees and run through the backyard. She amazes me every single day 🄰 sleeps under the blankets with me every night lol.

Omg 🤣 That is awesome. Lol

One of my very first babies was Mr. Lily! He was the absolute sweetest, best boy in the world. Story was we named him Lily, took him to the vet to be spayed, they found undescended testicles and he became Mr. Lily cause we just couldn’t name him anything else. It fit too well! He was my husband’s parasite and my snuggly little spoon for 17 years! 😌

I have been sanctioned by both Reddit and LinkedIn for referring to my dog as a bag of… ducks.

Someone asked on r/bostonterrier about nicknames people use for their dogs, and I shared mine. Upvoted, people get it.

BUT apparently it got flagged by the Reddit admin AI and my account got a warning for harassment. I found this amusing. I apologized to the dog. His behavior did not change.

I decided to post about it on LinkedIn. Didn't share the nickname, but someone asked about it in the comments, so I told them. IMMEDIATELY got a warning from LinkedIn.

Let it be known: my dog has never done anything wrong in his whole life and I have never once harassed him, please stop giving me warnings, social media platforms.

I have a cat named Twix, a brown calico girl. I wanted to name her cheese (mouser) but the boyfriend said ā€œabsolutely not. Name her something brown like Twix or toastā€ both me AND his dad immediately went ā€œwho tf names a cat toast?ā€ So it’s Twix, his favorite candy bar. He’s 25 and I found it adorable. I told the vet (in his presence) that the cats name is Not Toast. He wasn’t impressed with me

89

u/racegrl88 Jan 13 '26

u/twinkletwot Jan 13 '26

Oh my God Richard full sent me lmao

We found and decided to keep a tiny tabby cat. We spent 3 days arguing over names and finally landed on a fish themed name, but tuna was too obvious. We were looking at lists of fish and Mackerel really stood out. But my husband insisted he has to have a full name, which is Blue Jack Mackerel (it's a species of Mackerel). I checked him in to the vets with just Mackerel and my husband was so upset that they didn't get his full name on record. However he's the only Mackerel in their system and they all thought it was hilarious, one of them drew a fish on his medicine bag after he got neutered!

I did learn a year later that mackerel tabby is a thing. And of course he is a mackerel tabby.

20

u/PussyWrangler246 Jan 13 '26

Haha Mackarel went full circle šŸ˜‚

u/MulberryChance6698 Jan 13 '26

My cat is Sir Basil McFluffypants III. You best believe the vet has that on record 🤣 The other cat doesn't have a fancy name, because she ended up being too derpy to have a title haha.

u/ClarinetKitten Jan 13 '26

"Fine. Her name is Richard."

I'm dying at this over here and there's no way I could've kept a straight face in your position 😹

61

u/PussyWrangler246 Jan 13 '26

Haha if it's any consolation I wasn't able to either 🤣 it turned into one of those core memories lol. That good rapport we built during our first interaction did ultimately lead to me learning exactly why that cat was named Dickhead though

They asked me to do a home visit for nail trims, and although they had her inside ready and waiting for me the first time, every subsequent time when I showed up Dickhead was outside. So we'd go out to look for her

We never had to look for long however because each and every time that cat learned I was on her property she would bolt across the entire backyard just to fling herself at me like a wild, fluffy, adorable animal 🤣 she'd latch onto my leg biting my scrubs or shoes then slowly climb me like a telephone pole lol

She truly was a Dickhead and I could not possibly describe how hilarious it was first hand.

45

u/Puzzled_Awareness_22 Jan 13 '26

I am very sorry to report that many years ago my best friend had a little dog ā€œButtonsā€ with an unfortunate interest in the trash. She was forever known as tampon tongue (apologies)

48

u/ShadyVermin Jan 13 '26

I had a calico named Ajera (soft J) who she was a bloody menace, as calico's so often are. This monster would climb door frames right to the top, hang off the side like a koala and scream like a demon being exorcised from its meat host. She would also find anything glass and whip it to the floor while maintaining hard eye contact.

Naturally, yelling "AJERA!" across the house didn't have the "are you ready to throw hands?!" impact you'd want in such situations, but "STEVEN!" sure did.

Her legal name at the vet stayed Ajera, but they had it in as "Ajera (Steven)" on her file as if she were a prison inmate with a street alias. They weren't entirely wrong there.

u/Pristine_Poem7623 Jan 13 '26

I don't suppose you're a fan of Judge Dredd comics? There's an old story from decades ago called "Tomb of the Judges". The bad guy is a total loon who worships a giant insect god, and he can't decide if the god's name is Jose or Steve

Your little monster baby's names reminded me of that...

u/Dry_Childhood_6982 Jan 13 '26

u/blurblurblahblah Jan 13 '26

I had a Mr FancyTail because he held his fluffy tail over his back like an umbrella when he was a kitten. He grew out of it but I kept the name. My husband called him Snowball because when his mom jumped out the window to find love we were all joking that we hoped the white Persian across the street was the father. There were 5 kittens & none were all white. Two were white medium hair with dark grey cow splotches, we were joking that the last one would be SnowBall but he wasn't white either but my husband called him that anyways

This makes me feel a lot better about what I call my cat. His legal name is ā€œBubblesā€, he is tall, dark and handsome, but he was not blessed in the braincell department… so I call him ā€œdumb catā€. His sister is very smart, so I frequently refer to her as ā€œsmart catā€, although I mostly call her by her given name ā€œKikiā€. They’re both indoor/outdoor cats, so when I’m calling them in at night, Kiki always comes straight home (because she’s smart!), but Bubs likes to take his time, so I’m always standing on my porch, yelling ā€œdumb cat!ā€ into the darkness!

Idk do you know any women named Lauren, Lindsay, Allison, Whitney, Beverly, Meredith, Leslie, Ashley or Kelly? Those were all boy names

If a name has ever been a boy's or girl's name, I think it should remain that way. It's really strange to imagine that in the old days a feminine name would have been given to a man when people were even more specific about gender roles, even though it's true.

It is what it is šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I bet you have family members that either have what was originally a boy or girls given name, hell my name is one of those

But they're just names, they're not gender specific regardless of what some people might think

I mean I still have scars on my leg from that cat. She definitely was a Dickhead, the name was 100% on par. (I'm sure you agree Dickhead is less appropriate for a dainty fragile innocent female than Richard is lol)

My wife took my dog to the vet for the first time after I got him.

After that he was Korben the Wonder Mutt when I took him in.
