So who is the all black cat?
Gris-Gris (pronounced Gree-gree) A voodoo talisman giving protection
Marais (mah-ray) = âSwampâ since heâs stealthy, smooth and low to the ground?
Garde?
Baron?
Midnight?
Sentinel?
Hashashin?

The way it was walking when the orange cat showed up I would say Ninja.

Thatâs funny. I actually first typed out that you should name him Ninja, and then I erased that and tried to think of some more Cajun-esque names like you often try to do for some of your animal visitors. But Ninja was the first name that came to my mind as well.
I named the critters , (mostly the possums ) after my Belgian Ancestors. They were from a French Speaking Province in Wallonia.

I like that one. A friend whoâs originally from Mississippi used to use that one conversationally, much like how some people will mention âbad jujuâ.

I thought you have Dutch ancestry 
I do have Dutch Ancestry. My 4th Great grandfather was a soldier, born 17 Jan.1762 in Namur, Belgium. His family has lived in Namur since at least 1558,
He got stationed in the Netherlands and married my 4th Great grandmother on 1 Jan 1786 in Sluis, Zeeland, Netherlands. My Grandmother ( from my motherâs family) was born in Rotterdam. Itâs a long complicated story spanning over 400 years.
1786 Marriage record: Written in French:
MFP has been out stirring up new business, three new freeloader cats arrived at the same time .

Ancestry is fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing!
I had to stop with the Belgians because I couldnât find any actual record documents older than 1587, I only made it to 1641 with the Dutch. The old churches kept good records of baptisms, births, marriages and deaths. I got over 5,000 records using a variety of free web sites in Belgium and the Netherlands. Record documents may also be found on familysearch.org since they are the group (LDS Church) that has copied the records to film.
Oh wow, you have a full on cult of cats going on now.
Yeah when three start coming totgether, 
MFP has a big mouth.

Aw⊠Theyâre youngsters
âŠequals hooligans 
Tell me that watching the energetic hooligans prance around and jump isnât much more entertaining than the old cats that are mostly docile.
I mean, heâs pretty majestic and all in his fancy tuxedoâŠbut heâs not entertaining to watch move around most of the timeâŠ
You should try watching him drink water for 3 minutes and 25 seconds.
