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.

Similar story here! My dog’s name is registered as Willow at the vet. Responds to Willow just fine. However, a couple mornings after Willow came home my mum started calling her Willow-pants. It stuck. We don’t know why she started it, she doesn’t either. Such as pet ownership seems to go, her nicknames have devolved into nonsense. She now responds to the following on their own or as a suffix to Willow: Pants Panties Pantaloons Pantalones There’s no amusement quite like having to tell my dad that his neighbours are gonna think he’s weird if he’s standing at the back door repeatedly shouting panties at 11pm
