I have two cats! There's Max, a handsome brown tabby, and Tess, a pretty grey lady with white mittens.

Max is named for James Maxwell, the physicist that identified the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Tess is named for Nikola Tesla who invented the modern world.

I need to mention Samson, too. Max and Samson were my first pets as an adult. They were littermates, six years old and had been in the shelter for six months. They were the best first pets.

Samson was named for the Regina Spektor song. Sadly, he passed unexpectedly about a year later. It was tough for both Max and me. It was just the two of us for about a year and a half. I'm sure Samson would be glad Tess came out of the shelter, but almost four years later now I still miss him.

I'm really happy with my adult rescues.
