Regarding the names of the cats, I (Ron) have a tendency to name them after historical Roman people. The exception to this rule is the cat my wife took with her when she moved in with me.
His name is appropriate for a cat : 'Rakker' which is Dutch for 'Rascal', a name that fits most tomcats.
Marius is named after Gaius Marius the Roman general and he had the same fighting spirit against other cats who 'invaded' the garden of my previous home.
Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix was a contemporary of Gaius Marius and his rival for power in Rome.
Julia is a noble lady who wants to be treated with respect and she behaves accordingly.
Lucius Varius Rufus is named after a Roman poet, due to his red coloured fur and Rufus meaning 'red haired' in Latin.
Cicero, because my wife liked the name of the list I prepared.

One day we found him behind some books in the book cupboard. After catching him and putting him outside he immediately climbed back over the fence into our garden.
We reported his find to some organisations, searched the missing animals websites, but no owner turned up so far.
Now he is living with us.
