from Hot-Mess Highpothesis · host Hot-Mess Highpothesis

In this episode, Brittany takes Sydni on a journey through the wonderful, confusing, and deeply unhinged world of shelter cat names.Armed with a slideshow full of real adoptable cats from local shelters, Brittany presents Sydni with some of the most ridiculous names we’ve ever seen, including legends like Mr. Randy Jackson, Annie Banani, Dan Campbell, and the incredibly powerful Mr. Biscuits.Some names are adorable. Some sound like retired middle-aged men. And some feel less like pets and more like people you’d meet at a dive bar.Along the way, we rate the names, lose our minds over tiny little cat faces, and become emotionally attached to several animals we’ve never met.Also — adopting animals is awesome, shelters are full of amazing pets, and as Bob Barker would say:Please spay and neuter your pets.
