Since I followed Moji story, have to ask, does name has to begin with M(ochi) or its just a coincidence? :))

Yes, it's so (also for him) that he now knows the relaxing feeling of this state of mind.
When Mojo disappeared, my boyfriend wanted to name the new one Mojo (at least that is if the other one didn't return) as we have been talking about this name for years (if we have a cat again, he/she will be called Mojo) but that didn't feel good to pass on the name.
For weeks we went back and forward with names, nothing was to all of our liking, so Mochi was the one we could agree on. Two different cats, different personalities, and different (but not that different) names.
I wonder how the next kitten arrival will be named eventually because we have been going back and forward with names already, lol. Stay tuned for that! :)
I liked Mojo, not sure why but it fits to kittens, guess it would remind you a lot of "that" Mojo if you named it same, and that wouldn't feel good as you said.
It's sad he never came back, but at least you know you tried, what I've learned about cats is that males are more prone to wander around or just leave than females.
I'm looking forward to it!!! :D
Mojo was a female though, but as she had her appointment for sterilization the week after, and started to act a bit different, we suspect she was getting into heat and then females are a lot more motivated to leave. The vet didn't have a spot sooner, there were like 3 weeks of waiting :( and in reality, 2 weeks was too long (that's when she escaped).
That's the shitty thing about rescuing a cat from the street, you can never be sure what the absolute deadline is for the spaying because you don't know their date of birth. Mojo was very petite as well so looking back she may have looked younger than she was in reality :(
With Mochi, we were a bit more careful and thankfully, he never started spraying inside so we were in time to castrated him :)
Wow, that is a long waiting period!
Mostly, blind recognition by the teeth can give an approximate age, but you never know.
At least you tried, maybe she continued on her way, and you got a new member!
Otherwise, it is very difficult to adopt abandoned animals, somehow we get attached to them much stronger and faster, and therefore the loss is more painful.
Mochi is cutie!
