I don’t know if this has been said yet (obviously) If it were my cat, there are many good creative names, but the only lasting name has to be ‘fart’ ---

Whoa - resurrected!! :eek: Alas, the cat is still officially nameless, tho he’s known unofficially as “FartCat” even tho the gassy emissions are decreasing. He’s soon going to be known as “No-Balls FartCat” for such a creature should not be permitted to reproduce. And if he continues his 3AM forays into our bed, well, it won’t look good for him, I tell you what! 😃 ---

Hang in there, **FCM** - this too shall pass. Pun intended. Our Stinkerbell lost her ability to clear the room after she was dewormed. She’s now replaced that “talent” with a single-minded fixation on my wife’s socks, though. The other night she trotted through the den with a pair of socks in her mouth, prancing as if she was bringing her first mouse home to show mom. Missus Coder and I almost fell off the couch laughing.
