We’re still discussing whether to change the new cat’s name. Nothing seems quite right yet. His current name, Argyle, has a certain dignified cachet but doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue (or lend itself to endearments; Argie? Ugh; unless he becomes a pirate… which could be cool).

Here are just some of the many possible alternatives (and thanks to fellow cat-owned friends for helping with this list):

• Bear
• Dyson, Vacuumer of Food
• Fezzik
• Furrdinand
• Gandalf
• Hagrid
• Nanook
• Orion
• Purrcules
• Thunder Cat “Raiden,” Lord of Cuddles and Electrostatic Shocks
• Tigger
