I think I told this story twice, but I can do it again. Never too tired.
Almost all my childhood male cats were Vasea. That was because in Russia they name cats Vasea, it's kind of a tradition. We call them sometimes Basilio (it's Italian version of Vasea) - that's from a movie for kids. Almost all females we had were Pantera - almost all off them were black. Our family's first kitty was Sura, because she was grey - Sura in Romanian.
We had this last Vasea - Juni's father - from my parents. Then a black kitty came to our door one VERY early morning and Vasea insisted we HAVE to take her in. She was SOOOOOOOO beautiful and gracious, small face, slender and petite body, so we named her Naomi, as Naomi Cambpell, right! They were so in love, after almost one year we expected kittens. Naomi had only one kitten and we have had chosen the name long before the kitten was born - Juni. Because in Romanian we have different genders in names, as Junior for males and Junioara for females, and we didn't know what the kittens would be, we decided on Juni.
Oh, I had a cat in the University in Romania (long story how I fought with all the rectorat to be allowed to keep a cat in the dormitory). His name was Kuzea (short for Kuznechik in Russian, English version of Grasshopper ).
