Meaning & Story
From the Greek Kassandra, meaning "she who entangles men" or possibly "shining upon man" — Cassandra was the Trojan prophetess cursed by Apollo to speak true prophecies that no one would believe.
Cassandra carries one of mythology's most poignant stories. The Trojan princess, gifted by Apollo with true prophecy and cursed so that no one would believe her, has become an archetype for anyone who sees clearly while the world refuses to listen. On a pet, Cassandra is a beautiful name for a female animal with an uncanny ability to sense moods, incoming storms, or the moment you are about to leave for the vet. She knows. She always knows. You just never listen.
