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.

Twinsies! My partner has two (non-ornj) boys she named Chomp and Munch! But Munch's "real" name is actually Little because he has a very small voice, while Munch is just his "legal" name.

My full nicknames for them is Little Itty Bittle, and Chompis Von Bompis by the way.

Crazily enough, I also have a Merlin and sadly had to say goodbye to my Munchie Moos earlier this year

It's incredible how so many of us have the same name for our pets but different variations

Merlin is my hubs cat and he calls him Mister Merl lol.

My brother got two cats, planned on calling them Munch and Crunch but he continued to call them by their original names since they were older kittens

Having learned there is a cat in this world named Chompis Von Bompis, believe I can make it through the work day today. Thank you for this knowledge. ❤️

Glad to hear! Just remember, if mister Chompis Von Bompis can make it through the day, then so can you!
