Don Juan got that name at the Humane Society. I kept it, as it suits him. He's really affectionate ESPECIALLY with women and just a little naughty.

Zerlina was originally called "Zana" by the group which had her at Petsmart, Hopalong Pet Rescue. I renamed her after a character in the Mozart-Da Ponte opera Don Giovanni, and I thought the name was close enough to her original to make the transition simple.

Funny how these things work out. In the opera, Don Giovanni comes upon Zerlina's wedding in the country, and very nearly entices her away from her new husband, Masetto... but fails in the end. At home, Don Juan (who was neutered by the Humane Society) tries to mate with Zerlina (spayed by Hopalong Pets), but never succeeds.
