i remember reading a reddit post several years back postulating that the most rational - and horrifying - explanation was that Spot was, in fact, several different cats in a series, all named “Spot”, representing Datas various failures in pet ownership, and that whenever we saw a “different” one, it was because the previous “Spot” had met some inglorious end off-screen.
Oh god. The first thing that came to mind was how many “feline supplement” variants Data had programmed into the replicator. The way they’re numbered implies that there were at least 221 of them.

Maybe some of them were WAY TOO EXPERIMENTAL.
