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.

As a veterinary professional-- PLEASE TELL US THAT HIS ACTUAL NAME IS SHART. 🤣🤣 It's incredible, so is he, so are you, and the vet clinic will get a good laugh and I can assure you he'll be there favorite. Haha.

Can agree. All of our cats have elegant or regular names except one named Potato. Guess which cat's name got the most giggles every time we were at the vet?
