This is my friend's cat, and his name is "打雷" ('Da Lei,' which means 'Thunder' in Chinese). The name sounds somewhat similar to 'Del Rey' in Chinese, so at first, I thought my friend must be a big fan of Lana Del Rey. However, he explained that the name actually came from the stormy weather on the day 'Da Lei' arrived at his home.

But that’s not the main point. The main point is, after I took the second picture of 'Da Lei' lying comfortably on my belly, I noticed something unfortunate—he hadn’t cleaned his butthole properly...

Haha I thought maybe he was named thunder because he’s a big boy.

My orange cat has that problem. He’s a groady fella

My friend always calls him Fat Thunder since he’s really a big boy lol

This was my big boy Sampson. His nickname was “thug muffin” because he acted tough, but looked like a fluff lol

He was so cute! And I’m sorry for the loss😢(I’m not a native English speaker, I guess past tense means he is no longer by your side? I’m sorry if there’s a misunderstanding)

No you got it and thank you! Unfortunately I lost him last year
