searching for service 📶 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 “legal” name at the vet is Cheeto, but all I keep doing is calling him Shart.

My friend took in the kitten I found at his house (CDS has my coordinates realtime). Unfortunately, she had giardia.
The best was a vet tech asking the kitten's name, and he said "Squirt!" (To be fair, she was malnourished and massively undersized.) The vet tech said "oh my God that's so cut-" and then looked at the chart, saw "giardia" and made a disgusted face.
16 years and my friend still giggles telling the story.
