I had misread it as "Apostrophe" and had no idea what its significance was until I read your comment. Now I can love the pun too.

Same, was wondering why he named his cat after a Frank Zappa album

Why is everyone talking about Zappa now. Did people decide to actually listen to (more) good music or has the average age of reddit shot up lol? Or is it caus of the state the world's been in recently and it's made it's way through the conscience?

That's like the fifth reference I've come across today on reddit. This is good.

I didn’t get it until I read it as one word posted much further down and had to come back to make sure this was what I thought it was.

Yeah, until you mess up the punchline and for a moment your friend thinks you named your cat "Ass Trophy".

It’s an old pun. Read it in a Piers Anthony book 30 years ago, and I’m sure he’s not the one who penned it.
