"It's a great honor to be named after a famous whale"

Mr. Splashy Pants is not only the name of our little (and quickly growing; only three days since those puff-ball photos!) female cat, but also the name of Greenpeace's most famous whale. While I'm unconvinced about the resemblence, I relented on the name as the Mister was insistent upon it for either cat or future kid.

I think it's a much better cat name - will the female cat still be Mr. Splashy Pants? Or will Ms. Splashy Pants do??

Definitely Mr. Splashy Pants, though I will try to use the gender-neutral "it" pronoun as much as possible as I respect the cat's privacy.

I think my wife has made a wise decision in conceding this battle as a kid name "Mr. Splashy Pants" has all sorts of issues surrounding it.
