Other uses would be with kittens from the [[The Exploration Era|2024 Summer Kitten Explosion]], where a lot of them were named after beans, such as [[Heinz]] and [[Pinto]] (Note that naming kittens after beans isn’t a trend that simply was used in the summer kitten explosion, but instead an already associated naming type, as seen with [[Little Bean Sprout]] and [[Beanie Baby]], both from before and after the summer kitten explosion). Certain cats also have a food name alongside a real honorary title such as [[Mr. Egg]] and [[Mr. Bean]]. | ||

This category is simple - it refers to the names given to an entire species of animals. All ants are directly designated the title of [[Ants|The Swarm]]; hedgehogs are often named [[Mr. Sonic]] or a clone, despite not being in his original feeder. | |||
