You know that cute thing vets do when they come out to the waiting room and call the cat's name?

They won't do that if you name your cat "Shithead".

My friend used to have a cat called Chevy, which was originally short for Le Chevalier but changed to be short for Chevy Chase because they were both assholes.

The name that you chose - the cat doesn't care anyway.

My kitten is called Maxim Schnorky. According to him a certain amount of ethically doubtful compromise is okay if that keeps the cat food coming in.

Rapeseed

Would be similar to other plant names like Daisy, Rose, Iris, Poppy, Lily, Holly, Petunia
