Lavinia is no spring chicken, or kitten, either.. she's something like 15 to 17.

Originally she (the cat) was the beloved companion of a renowned classics scholar at the University, Kristine's first husband who passed away many years ago.
Poppaea Sabina - the second wife of Nero. info from Wikpedia.

Fascinating how some pets, and people, get their names
