I'm the human of a cat named Piccolo, because when he was a kitten, he meowed like a little flute.

Our kitty shelter named our first of two cats (sadly now passed away) Thomas. So we named our second cat (which the shelter named Vesta which I found weird) to Nikola. They were generally pretty chill towards one another unlike their namesakes.
