Shiva (also Siva) (pronounced /ˈʃiːvə/; Sanskrit: शिव, Śiva; meaning "Auspicious one"), is a major Hindu deity, both destroyer and benefactor. (from Wikipedia)
Shiva the cat is definitely a demon, and his name I chose so that it would go together nicely with Raksha. But little did I know that because of the similarity we would mix the names at the beginning... Now the difference is established, Raksha the dog is no longer called Shiva while Shiva the cat is called many names (some are unprintable :) but he comes only when called Shiva, because Shiva means 'food is ready' to him. Shiva is easy to please:
One of his numerous probable siblings is Ulla, who now lives with my friend and despite being female is twice as fierce as my cuddly little kitten. |
