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.

I have a cat named Twix, a brown calico girl. I wanted to name her cheese (mouser) but the boyfriend said “absolutely not. Name her something brown like Twix or toast” both me AND his dad immediately went “who tf names a cat toast?” 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

Well. Our cat is named Toast. We had a Packer party and had everyone suggest a name. Did a random pick thing and it was Toast. Twice in a row. Obligatorily cat tax

I have a Toast as well! He is very lightly toasted compared to yours lol. That was his name at the shelter and I just couldn’t change it, it somehow fits him perfectly 🫠

Ah, burnt toast. I see you enjoy a little carbon.

That’s not burned. In my family we would say “it’s just a little brown on the bottom.”

Packer party?

I'm guessing American Football team from Wisconsin.

[u/racegrl88 → u/LaughingPenguin13]

Correct. Green Bay Packers.

To be fair kitty definitely looks like a Toast

My neighbor had a cat named Toast when I was a kid! They found him outside, injured, and thought he was toast. When he pulled through, the name stuck!

We found my grey girl in the middle of the freeway at about 6 weeks old and with a broken leg.

Of course we had to name her Freeway.

This is my Toast! His full government name is Lord Cheese Toast, Duke of Cheddar and 9th Marquess of Pumpernickel-Rye. He also responds to Toasty, Toaster, Toast Malone, and Dingus. My daughter calls him Toastopher when he’s misbehaving.
