The Name

I suppose at this time I'd better explain Cleo's name and how she got it. When we first got her, we assumed that She was a He. She also did NOT fall through the hole like the other 2 kitties. She was on the very edge. When Jerry saw this, the only thing he could think of was the movie "The 300" where Leonidus kicks the messenger into the huge pit

THIS IS SPARTA!!

So we gave this tiny kitten a huge name, Leonidus. Of course, we were only guessing at the gender. You can't tell what gender a kitten is until they get a little older. So we didn't know that little Leo was a girl until we took her to the vet (poor kitty got constipated). That's when we found out that 99% of all Calico's are female. Still, the vet's assistant picked her up and checked, much to little kitty's dismay. And that's how little Leonidus became Cleonidus a.k.a Cleo
