Who knew Meredith Grey was a scratcher?!?

Not the Grey’s Anatomy character, but Taylor Swift’s cat, whom she named after the dark and twisty TV character.

  

Swift posted a photo on her Instagram showing off a fresh scratch from her beloved kitten with the message: "Great work Meredith. I was just trying to love you and now you owe me 40 million dollars."

Ellen Pompeo, who plays Meredith Grey on the popular drama series responded in character by saying: "This is awkward because my namesake did this but as your doctor please keep that scratch clean! Yours truly, the real Dr. Grey."

Taylor Swift got a shout out a couple months ago from the namesake of her other cat, Olivia Benson, when Mariska Hargitay took a photo with Pompeo at the Super Bowl. Hargitay plays Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU.

Swift reacted like a true fan girl with her reply: "OH. MY. GOD."

Which TV character will Swift name her next pet? Olivia Pope? Cookie Lyon? The Dowager Countess of Grantham?
