It’s short for Hephaestus, Greek God of blacksmiths & fire. I found him in our yard as a kitten; someone terrible had burned off his tail & he was left with an infected stump full of exposed nerves. He then hid under my silversmith bench for the first month of his time with us, too traumatized to wander. That was 10 yrs ago, now he’s the sweetest and most talkative cat I’ve ever been around! God of fire, indeed. 🔥😻

Oh wow... with a name like that I knew there had to be a story... didn't quite expect the intensity of the plot, though!
Heh! The universe brought you together and love prevailed ❤️
