I always wanted to get a cool looking cat and name him Bix Beiderbecke. Then I moved into my old apt and my neighbor's had this cat that was white except for his tail, chin and ears and I realized that he was Bix Beiderbecke. His "real" name was Oreo but it totally didn't suit. Anyway, I loved Bix. My neighbor was dying, and that last year of her life her cats often got left out overnight. And my bedroom window was about 10 feet from their back door, so Bix learned that I was an easy mark, and spent many a winter night in my house. But I realized I could never have a cat named Bix, because this Bix was the one true Bix.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gods, I hate writing rejection letters even more than getting them.

Bix Beiderbecke is a great cat name!
There is also, I think, only one cat who could be David Bowie. This guy:

Thanks for the birthday wishes, all! As I am now 42, am I also the answer to everything? Must ponder.
Happy anniversary to Plei and Paul!
My last cats before Maceo were Bandit and Otto. My roomie named Bandit - tuxedo boy with a mask, and I named Otto. He was a stout solid mackerel tabby. Otto fit. He also like to lay on his back like an otter, so he got called Otter, too.
sara, if you are still after mountains, one of my fave mountain names is Cloudripper, in the Inconsolable Range. Cracks me up every time.

A friend on mine has one named this!
Happy birthday, lori!
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm getting warmer so they are helping.
Whoo, I'm pretty much taking off at the most inconvenient time ever next week. And I.don't.care.

I KNOW!!!
Although, you think that David Bowie as a cat would maybe be kind of standoffish and Too Cool for School but this David Bowie was a total affectionate sweetheart.
