The last piece to this furry puzzle is how this kitty got his name. He obviously has the swagger of Kanye West, but that isn't the only reason he shares the rapper's nickname.

"When we first got him he had breathing problems. We were going to name him Wheezy, but it didn't fit. So we just started saying rhyming names and I said Yeezy and it was perfect. We love hip hop and Kanye so it was a great match."
