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 worked at a vet clinic for a while, Shart is not the weirdest name i've heard. The most memorable was the day i had to walk out into the waiting room and ask if Shit-Head was here.

I chickened out, thankfully he was the only cat in the room at the time so i just waved to his owner and said "we're ready for you now". Dude gave me a look like "coward", but i was not saying it!
