Have you consider that some people, myself included, just didn't know the original name? As I mentioned earlier, I just thought it was called a cat can stove because that's how I first heard of it. I didn't go out and research it to find out who designed it or what it was really named. I punched some holes in a cat food can and didn't think about it again. Until today. I didn't know who Jim Wood or Roy Robinson was or that Robinson designed the first cat can stove that is very different from the Super Cat until today. I first heard of it as a cat can stove and that's what sticks. And probably still will even now that I know the real name. I still call a reciprocating saw by any manufacturer a Sawzall. Not consciously, that's just what comes to mind.
I have a really good friend who I first met in a work setting that introduced himself by his American sounding middle name. It was probably 2 years later when I learned what his actual first name was which is what his family and friends outside of work called him. I've made a concerted and conscious effort to call him by his real first name. I've know him for 30+ years now and I still sometimes fail to do so.
I doubt Skurka has any nefarious reason for calling it the Fancy Feast stove. Why would he? What would be his motivation to do so? He's not claiming it as his design and never has. It's more likely just a habit because that's how it was introduced to him and it stuck.
Why don't you email him and ask him why he calls it a Fancy Feast stove instead of a Super Cat? I doubt he means any slight to Jim Wood, if he even knows who he is. Maybe he'll even start calling it a Super Cat once he knows.
