A goat is not a whom or a him, sorry.HAHAHAHA! My "goat" was a human Democrat. :-)
A messy person can be called a "pig" and be without a curly tail and a snout: A dirty old fool can be called a "goat" and be without horns and a hairy back.
My goat was a who/whom and a he/him.

One of my main pet peeves is the it's/its apostrophe issue.
You see it wrong everywhere.
I found this little ditty years ago, and had misplaced it till now.
"The possessive of it is just its
But its usage gives people the fits
They expect to see
An apostrophe
But you shorten it is when it's it's."
