“The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, it isn’t just one of your holiday games…” – T.S. Eliot

One of the best parts of getting a new pet is choosing a name for them. Unlike children, who have conscious feelings about their names and may object to off-the-wall choices at some point, a pet presumably couldn’t care less what the humans in their lives call them. A dog could be named Fred, Red, or Potatohead and be none the wiser. We’ve seen cats with names that go far beyond the norm even for pet names, like Parking Lot, Crunchwrap Supreme, and Missile Launcher (Missy for short) among other creative monikers.

But if any animals were going to care about what we name them, surely it would be our finicky feline friends. And one man, whom we’ll call Unc (for his @UncGotThaMunchies handle), seems to have a gift for giving kitties very special (or rather, “pecial”) names. Unc has become the father of 13 kitties, and his naming of cats has become a bit of a viral phenomenon.
