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.

Holy crap, lisah! That's totally David Bowie, the cat!

Grisabella
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.

Punishingly Intricate
That's totally David Bowie, the cat!
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, lisah! That's totally David Bowie, the cat!
Seriously!
Whoo, I'm pretty much taking off at the most inconvenient time ever next week. And I.don't.care.
Good for you! You need the break, and can't your coworker take on the crap this time?
I have actually done some work from home already, so that's good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Birthday Felicitations, lori!
And Anniversary Felicitations to Plei and Paul!
I'm afraid that I'd end up naming a cat something from the Broadway show, like Rumpleteaser or Grisabella.
Our old Jennycat was actually Jennyanydots--from Old Possum's Book before it was a show on Broadway. Yes, my children, there was a world before Broadways' Cats!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy birthday, Lori!
Happy Anniversary, Plei!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, Lori! And of course you're the answer to everything. Just for this year, though. So after the cake and festivities are over, please go fix the entire world for us before your awesome power passes.
Happy anniversary, Plei and DH!
IIRC, I spent a bit of time pushing Beatrix as a possible name for Matilda, just so we could use the nickname Bix. Hec didn't go for it. It's an excellent cat name, though.
The best-named cats I ever met were tuxedo and tabby littermates whose human named them Alouysius and Sylvester, a.k.a. Wishy and Vesty.
Did I mention here I was astounded to find out that my local vet has three other Chumleys in their patient database?
Maybe you could change yours to the traditional spelling--isn't it some crazy Brit thing like Chomondeley, only pronounced Chumley?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
There is also, I think, only one cat who could be David Bowie.
Very much so. However, he could not be a Ziggy Stardust. Well, not with out dye and/or makeup.
