Galileo got his name after Galileo Galli who was the Italian Scientist that discovered the earth was not flat so the Roman Catholic Church put him on house arrest. And he died on house arrest.

Galileo was an indoor cat therfore i knew he would eventually die at home. He flipped my word all around when I realized I could love ❤ a cat. Since I never thought that was possible.

So I gave him a very fitting name.
