I work at a cat shelter and the most fun part is when we get unnamed cats brought to us since I can think of goofy names for them. A while back we got a litter of five kittens who ended up getting named Kira, Jadzia, Miles, Odo and Sisko. They all found a home when they were very little, but no one wanted to adopt Sisko for some reason :(

BUT TODAY THAT CHANGED! AND YOU WOULD NOT FUCKING BELIEVE HOW THAT HAPPENED.

Two people came in with a small list of cats who they had been looking at on our website, and one of them happened to be Sisko, so they were sent into one of the cat rooms to sit around with the cats and see with who they clicked the most. They came out of the room 100% sure that they wanted Sisko and also ended up asking why Sisko had that name, clearly with some sort of motivation behind that question, and upon finding out that he was named after a DS9 character it turned out that THEY ARE ALSO DS9 FANS (well, one DS9 fan and the other who said as a joke that they "tolerate" it) AND THAT'S WHY THAT CAT STOOD OUT TO THEM THE MOST. SISKO FOUND A HOME IN A DS9 LOVERS HOUSEHOLD AND MAINLY BECAUSE OF HIS NAME. WHAT ARE THE FUCKING CHANCES.
