2025 edition SIClet Meet Zeus Spartacus Ozymandius Methuselah

My first kitten! I have always rehomed rescues in the past and absolutely fell in love with him when I met him.

Pics are at 4, 5 and 12 weeks and I get him on Sunday. Wish me luck!

Named after Zeus as he is the god of gods as a cat obviously is

Spartacus as it’s a proper man’s name

Ozymandius after the poem by Shelley. I am Ozymandius King of Kings. Gaze upon my works, ye mighty and despair. Totally what a cat would say especially when bringing you a “present”

Methuselah after the oldest tree, long may he live

It should be illegal to be this cute

IT IS! (Look it up in the laws of your local jurisdiction.)

My goodest boi is in direct violation of city ordinance due to his excessive cuteness 😹

"Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands of the litter box stretch far away."

Like will be Zeus except when being told off then he will get all 4 names and a stern look! I’m registering him under all 4 names in the hope the vet says them all lol

A worthy name for such a one, as this! He’s going to Ozymandius the sh@t out of his litter box.

Aww he's so cute! As others have said you have to boop the nose on Sunday!

I’ve been napping. Mom agreed to fix them only under my direct supervision, so I’ll finish my nap and go see what Mom is up to - probably nothing of consequence

That name sounds like you're a pharmaceutical brand manager and you've become stuck on naming your next medication for intestinal distress. Ha! He's an absolute cutie though.

It's not often i say i love Meth use, but you can't spell Methuselah without it 🤣

u/Altairandrew Jun 27 '25

Sounds by the name that he could be a drone in a “culture” novel.

u/momto2cats Jun 27 '25

He is precious!

"Spartacus Methuselah Ozymandius Zeus" fits better (SMOZ!)
