    Void is a stupid thing to call a cat. Like come on guys be original there are other ways of saying “nothing” and centuries worth of racist ways to say black.

      My aunt when she was a kid named her black cat Nothing.

      So when her dad, who didn’t like cats in the house, asked what that sound was from her room she would say ’oh that was nothing’.

      This story gets trotted out every holiday.
