Zela and Vuvu were named after the vuvuzela horns that provided the soundtrack for all of the 2010 World Cup games in South Africa.
Zela was a classic calico whose personality and colors complemented those of her dilute-calico sister Pele. The two often wrestled together, but when they finished, Zela would wander off to explore unknown territory while Pele climbed the couch or spun the trackball.
At round-up time, Zela was the FIFA most likely to be found playing with a newly-discovered object in a remote corner of the back room. And while we kept our staff dogs partitioned away from the FIFAs, Zela was endlessly intrigued by the canine presence lurking beyond the free-standing screen in the hallway.
