names

I got my cat from this girl who had gotten two kittens and decided she could only keep one... so after judging their personalities, she picked the one that was more of an asshole and advertised her on CL. I ended up getting her, and being a creepy spinster who will inevitably end up with 7 more by the age of 40, I posted some pictures of her on Facebook. A few weeks later, the girl I got Maxi from, who had friended me on facebook the day after the kitten exchange, which weirdly took place in a parking lot off Pike and Bellevue as though it was something illicit, posted a comment under one of the pictures.

"Aww, Maxi's so cute! She's not dead, is she? Because... her brother is. :( "

Fearing a possible genetic disorder and really not wanting to come home from work one day to a dead cat, I messaged her to ask what happened, and she said "he died of Cat Shock. I don't really understand what it is, you should google it." So I did, and apparently Cat Shock is exactly like human shock, in that it can only happen when a cat has a massive trauma or injury... so like, not acceptable as a sole explanation for death at all. Anyway, the point of this is that recently I guess she got a new cat, named Garlic, which her photo album explains is named after the old cat, whose name was Garfield. Which was crazy to me, because is something really named after something else if it only shares the first three letters? BECAUSE also, my grandma had a sister who died before she (my grandma) was born, and the sister's name was Dorothy, so when my grandma was born they named her Doris (worst name ever) SUPPOSEDLY after Dorothy. Is this a coincidence or is the three letter tribute a thing?
