I like to change names around too. My cat started life as Murphy, named after the TV show, Murphy Brown - even though he was male. That was only the beginning of his gender identity crisis. He later acquired the nickname, Myrtle which was even more traumatic for him. Now he's either Murphy, Myrtie, Myrtle Turtle or just Turtle. And, after developing the swinging belly that most house cats get, he became Myrtle Moo. :>) It's a rough life. Kerry
