So, my partner and I just adopted a tiny ball of chaos. He’s got four white paws and a face that screams, “I run this house now.” Naturally, we named him Professor Socks. Is it weird to give a cat a title? Maybe. But honestly, he already acts like he’s grading our life choices. He sits on the laptop when I’m working, judges my snack choices, and somehow manages to look offended when I sing in the shower. Friends keep asking if we’re okay. (We are, mostly.) But isn’t naming pets after people—or, in our case, academic professionals—just part of the fun? Would love to hear what ridiculous names you’ve given your pets. Or is Professor Socks about to get a call from the Society of Reasonable Cat Names? #PetNames #CatLife #AdoptDontShop #Pets #Cats
