Pet Names

[Quantum Leap]

When I was in grade school, my family used to own two cats. At the time, I was fascinated with Egyptian civ, so when I was asked to name them when we first got them, I opted for Cleo (Cleopatra) and JC (Julius Caesar). But after just three months, it seems Cleo had gotten tired of JC and she started spending more time in our next-door neighbor's yard than with him. Not long after, she got pregnant. But when none of the kittens looked anything like JC, but bore an uncanny resemblance to the neighbor's cat, our parents decided to pack them away to friends a few weeks after. They said it wasn't healthy for me and my siblings' impressionable minds. LMAO.

Up until now, more than a decade later, I'm still wondering if they were serious then. XD
