Pet names Memes

Forget "Fluffy" and "Mittens" – mathematicians are out here naming their cats like they're trying to intimidate their colleagues at conferences. "This is my cat, Determinant, and yes, she can calculate your matrix's invertibility just by staring at it." Imagine calling your cat for dinner: "EIGENVALUE, STOP CHASING THE ORTHOGONAL VECTOR AND COME EAT!" The neighbors must think you're summoning demons or proving theorems. The only downside? When these cats knock things off shelves, they're not being jerks—they're just demonstrating gravity as a fundamental force with practical applications.
