Isaiah 56:5: the name endures forever.
“יָד וָשֵׁם
שֵׁם עוֹלָם

HAN TEXTUAL TRADITION
Chinese textual tradition
In the Chinese textual tradition, a name is understood as a trace of a life.
“人必有名何？
所以吐情自紀，尊事人者也。”
A name means that a life did not merely pass through this world;
it gives that life a way to be recognized and remembered.
HOMERIC EPIC
Homeric epic
In Homeric epic, a name can pass beyond the end of life and remain among the living.
“ὣς σὺ μὲν οὐδὲ θανὼν ὄνομ᾽ ὤλεσας, ἀλλά τοι αἰεὶ
πάντας ἐπ᾽ ἀνθρώπους κλέος ἔσσεται ἐσθλόν, Ἀχιλλεῦ”
As long as the story is still told, Kleos does not fade;
the name travels with the story, called again and again by those who come after.

CAT PANTHEON BETA
Cat Pantheon
For cats who were loved and cats who are remembered, a place where names and longing can remain.
If your cat is no longer by your side, remember their name here.
The names you called countless times still have somewhere to go, even when no answer comes.
If your cat is sleeping on your lap now, leave their name here.
In the next release, we’ll add stories so everyone can get to know your cat.
If you do not have a cat of your own,
perhaps on your way home, in some unexpected corner, you once met a soul you wanted to cherish.
Give them a name, and keep them in your heart.
