Lafitte is a black and white kitten that was dropped off at our door by the neighbors dog. Once we got him cleaned up we realized he had a black patch over his right eye and the other side of his face was white. Therefore, he had to have a pirate's name. Since we live in South Louisiana we decided no name would be better than the famous Louisiana pirate Jean Lafitte. And he tends to have pirate traits at times so it fits him well.
