My Name Is Kat


they called me kat in my first flat

there were other girls called kat too

i love cats
and had reservations about the grandmotheriness of kathryn

i let the crazy people call me kate, as the word 'kat' causes confusion [i work for mental health support providers]

i think kat as a nickname was invented by Ten Things I Hate About You
i think the kat in that movie was so called because she was catty

but i think the connotation has been outdated with legions of modern and variably lovely girls nicknamed kat in the last few years

god i love my generation
