glitteringstarsChallenge #2: Pets of Fandom
Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!
A chance to scream about my little assholes? That's a threat!
This is both a cats and fandom thing: I've been incredibly lucky to have healthy cats that live long lives. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the names I've suggested have been the ones that stuck.
The second cat I ever had was a very pretty tabby with medium-long fur. I named her Zoey after one of the characters from a show I was really into at the time (Digimon Frontier). It was a bit more of a covert fandom naming situation since I never told the source of the name. In hindsight, that MIGHT have been for the best since, yes it was a kids show, but the sole female character's magical transformation was into this design.
My current cats, I've referenced here and there in this journal as "the big one and the little one," which is just their descriptors in multiple ways. The "big one" was, once-upon-a-time, round in ways cats shouldn't be. After years of proper feeding, she's down to a proper cat size, but she's still significantly bigger than the little one. The little one, despite turning four this year, is on the smaller size. The names I picked out for them were ones I've wanted to name a cat ever since I was small, and I was able to fulfill that dream. And because I was a child of the 90s and early 00s, the names I picked were nabbed from the Sailor Moon cats.
Am I a basic bitch? Yes! Does it still fill me with joy? Also, yes!! Even when I need to keep an eye on my food because the little one likes to steal human food.
I've also had a naming other pets in the family, including a pug named Frank (after the alien dog from Men in Black).

Reminds me about how I nearly named my service dog after a show which, soon after I adopted him, because infamous for queerbaiting... Bullet: dodged.
