I was wondering if anyone was going to catch that...
Ok, Tetrabarb here goes...
I adopted Jupiter at about the age of 6 months from my local animal shelter where they had already named him. So I let him keep his name seemed like a pretty good name.
Well,.....close to the time that he was 3 a little stray calico kitty found it's way to our door. Jupiter seemed to really like her so we let her in. She was already pregnant....Yeah, Imagine that. Anyway since she was so colorful my boyfriend (Gary) decided that we should name her Saturn.
So now we had Jupiter and Saturn.
When Saturn had her kittens she gave birth to three, but sadly one was stillborn. That left two little kittens.
The little female was adopted by my next door neighbor.
And the little male was to stay with us.
Sadly Saturn had to find a new home. She was at odds with Jupiter constantly. As much as he liked her she just didn't like him at all and the fur was flying. So much that Jupiter spent most of his time in hiding. She was one mean mama.
After we found Saturn a new home. Now came the challenge of naming this little fur ball. So we watched. Gary had noticed that the kitty kept trying to get Jupiter to play with him by running in circles around him.
He looked at me and said "Hay that kitty is orbiting Jupiter his name is IO"!!!
and that's how we got Jupiter and IO.
Oh...did I happen to mention that Gary is an outerspace nut.
