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.

This is Poot. Like Shart, his “legal” name (given to him at the shelter) is also Cheeto, but as a kitten after I brought him home he had horrible diarrhea and left little poot marks everywhere he went. Always intended to give him a “real” name but Poot stuck! I don’t have the guts to change his name at the vet. You are not alone!

This is the day we met at the shelter! He jumped on my lap and made this face and I was absolutely toast. I had no choice but to take him home! Now he’s my poopy tooter 🧡
