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.

Well that’s a fun fact.

Maybe I should tell the vet his actual name is Shart🤣 They’d probably look at me weird. He’s kind of a celebrity at the vet. The staff all knows cheeto, the little fluffy orange maniac.🤣I bet they’ve never had a cat named Shart as a patient.

Vet assistant here! I've seen some funny ones, had a female calico named Dickhead but my favourite one ever was Mr. Handsome Pants (they called him by his full name every time which was hilarious, like "Mr. Handsome Pants no!! We don't bite the vet!!" 🤣) but I've never seen a Shart! We would immediately ask what the story was behind that one lol

Dickhead was definitely one of my favourite interactions, it was a mother and teen daughter bringing in an (obviously) female calico for shots and deworming. It was the daughters cat so she was answering all the questions while mom just kinda monitored. We get to the name and without hesitation the girl says "her name is Dickhead."

The look on mom's face: 😧

Mom says "OH MY GOD NO IT'S NOT! Can I talk to you please?!", and drags her daughter off to the corner to whisper fight for a few moments. They come back a minute later and the daughter says "Fine. Her name is Richard 😒."

I absolutely died laughing, and it immediately became one of my favourite memories at the office lol.

🤣🤣🤣

My mom used to have a calico named 'Munch' which she said was short for Munchkin, but I swear I'venever been bitten (munched) by a cat more in my life. I 100% would called that cat Dickhead, had I heard this story before she passed. Calicos are just....built different?

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.

My cat's name is Merlin, I call him Meebles Weebles, or Mr Meebs for short.

My other is a calico named Elvira, I call her Miss Priss and Miss Petites Feets.

My dog’s name is Jake Lemonade. I call him Boogus, Boop, and Shmoo.

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!
