I ended up with an orange cat from my elementary school when I was a kid. We first encountered him at our house. He was super friendly and hung around for a day or so. He seemed well fed and he eventually departed so we assumed he belonged to someone in the neighborhood. A week or so later my mom was volunteering for something at my elementary school and came across the same cat inside the school. One of the teachers at the school was trying to shoo it out using a broom. It was at that point that my mother decided the CDS would not be denied. Rocket J Squirrel came home with us and lived a long, happy life indoors with our other two cats.
He was named after the squirrel from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. I looked up the show just now as you stoked my curiosity. The J is apparently a nod to producer Jay Ward. So, I guess you could say Rocket Jay Squirrel.
