The account is named for our family cat. She passed away on January 28, 2002. My brother and I found her in our backyard of our old house. Subsequently, we adopted her into our family. She lived with us for about 14 years. We want to remember her, so my brother and I made this account on SETI.
Her name is actually "Kitty" in Taiwanese. Our family used the names interchangeably.
