How can I get Teh Womun to change my name? From Spitty-the-Kitty

Are you sure you want this to happen? Sometimes it really is a matter of "better the devil you know than the devil you don't..."

But, if you really want her to change your name, you have to develop a firm resolve to stop reacting to your current name. If she calls you for treats, don't look at her, don't go to her. If she's having some really good people food that you like and she says, "Spitty, come here and have a bite," don't even look at her. Walk away. If she opens a can of Stinky Goodness or dangles some real live fresh dead shrimp at you and calls you by name, cock your head to one side and look at her like "Who is this Spitty the Kitty of whom you speak?"

If you do that enough, she'll start calling you other names. Some of them might not be very nice names, but once she pops out with something you like, react to that. She'll make the connection.

But really, dood? You might wind up being called Edipuss or Alowishus or something prissy like that, and you'll wish you were still Spitty.

Thank you Max. Maybe you are right--she could call me something even more objectionable--like "Cutie Pie" or something. Hmmmmm.
