Solutions to the cat question

So, I take it most people don't get where the kitties get their names. Here are the answers people. My husband is an Astronomer. Castor is the second brightest star in the constellation Gemini and one of the brightest stars in the nighttime sky. Pollux is an orange giant star approximately 34 light-years away in the constellation of Gemini and it is the brightest star in Gemini.

And Tiberius, sadly, is from James T. Kirk, it is what the T stands for. Aren't you glad I didn't let him go with Tiberius?

OH, now I see. Sorry we aren't such great astronomers at our house. Cool names though.

We missed you the other day. I hope you guys are feeling better.

Good to know. I could never have guessed that. But I did know where Tiberius came from.

Sadly, I didn't know where the names came from. Thanks for enlightening me! I feel kinda smart now! :)

I would have said no to Tiberius too. Way to go, Brooke!
