Mezzo was one of 2 kittens we adopted. Her sister, Minuet, (or Minu, for short) died within the first year. Both are musical terms that I liked. We already had another cat who adopted us, named Mitzi. I wanted all cats' names to start with M. Mezzo is a delightful 4-year-old now who knows that everyone adores her. Her colouring is very unique (black with gold tones asymetrically all over her body) so her unusual name suits her.
