Orange Our new kitten finally has a name! Julius, or Jules/Jude for short. I know, I know… He’s orange, and his name is Julius, but the name fits him. It took a while to find his name, and I compiled a list of the top 12 names I liked. They are/were:

  1. Julius
  2. Marius
  3. Tiberius
  4. Sirius
  5. Griffin
  6. Jackson
  7. Dylan
  8. Marley
  9. Aries
  10. Rowan
  11. Asher
  12. Mac

For a short while I thought we might end up calling him Aries, but it didn’t feel right. So I left it for a day, or two, and Julius kept coming to mind when I thought about what his name should be.

I am still amazed at how quickly he’s settled into our home, and even Gus has grudgingly accepted him. They’ve started chasing, and playing, with one another, though Julius has quite a size disadvantage. It’s cute the way such a small guy launches himself at Gus who is so much bigger than he is. He’s brought happiness into our home, and we’ll gladly take all of it we can get.
