Our cat, Heidi, recently passed. Our remaining cat, Lucy, has never been an "only cat" and is kind of freaking out without her sister, so we were thinking of getting her a friend to keep her company and console her. I was thinking, if we get a male cat, we could name him Boethius after the 6th century Roman philosopher Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius. Boethius wrote The Consolation of Philosphy, which is about the wheel of fortune, and how even when you're at the lowest of lows, you will rise again. I thought it would be an appropriate name for a new kitty.

What do you think of Boethius, nn Bo?
