The temple of Castor and Pollux is an ancient edifice in the Roman Forum, Rome. It was originally built in gratitude for victory at the battle of Lake Regillus (495 BC). Castor and Pollux were the Dioscuri, the "twins" of Gemini, the twin sons of Zeus (Jupiter) and Leda. Their cult came to Rome from Greece via Magna Graecia and the Greek culture of Southern Italy.

Chaville, Etang d'Ursine

My family doubled in size this weekend: Persephone and I have been joined by a pair of eight-month-old kittens that a friend rescued from Furkids but had to return because of a allergies.

 

My hope is that they will make excellent playmates for Persie; the older cats in my house — who move out soon — were never interested in playing with her, and considered her attempts to ambush them as grevious assaults. At the moment Persie herself seems rather offended at the intrusion of two new cats, and though I know it can take weeks for cats to get used to one another, I find myself tense about whether they will make friends. (For Kastor and Pollux, being friendly with new people and cats seems effortless; doubtless a mark of their long careers as potential adoptees.)

 

It seems strange to have chosen, without being able to consult Persie, family members with whom we will probably still be living ten years from now.

 

I have given them Greek names as is my custom with cats. Since they were littermates, I named them after Kastor and Pollux, who stand among the winter stars as the Gemini, the Twins. The colors even correspond: Pollux is a yellow-orange star (spectral class K0), while Castor (the star uses the Latin spelling which starts with a c) is colorless (A1).

Pollux accepted the disappearance of his two-and-a-half-year-old brother without question; in nature, I suppose, littermates separate even earlier. But even though I can never explain to Pollux the ravages of cancer, nor placing his brother in the chilly damp November earth, Pollux has not been untouched by the event — because without his brother, he has, in subtle ways, had to begin to be a different cat.

 

For example, Pollux was always the more skiddish, and let his brother take the lead in investigations, and in introductions; but now he learns to step forward on his own towards an adventure, or toward the offered hand of a guest.

 

Pollux seemed quite enamored of the pair of cat beds in which he and his brother lay side by side. But now that he decides entirely on his own where to sleep, he has become much more free of convention. One finds him everywhere: on the futon downstairs, or the couch upstairs; in the master bedroom or the downstairs guest bedroom; on an easy chair, or — as in this photograph — in a guitar case accidentally left open.

 

And Pollux, when younger, was never very clever about kitty litter. Working more from instinct than from sense, he would scrape and scrape the plastic sides of the pan rather than the litter itself. He would begin to despair as it dawned upon him that, no matter how long he scraped, the mess was never covered up; finally, in shame, he would scuttle away from his embarrassed failure. His brother would then arrive, inspect the damage, and with a few flings of litter correct his brother's work. But now that Pollux has no one to watch his back, he finally seems to have worked things out for himself.

Pollux, being himself =]
