STWF. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakarta_Tomcat "Davidson had initially hoped that the project would become open sourced and, since most open source projects had O'Reilly books associated with them featuring an animal on the cover, he wanted to name the project after an animal. He came up with Tomcat since he reasoned the animal represented something that could fend for itself. Although the tomcat was already in use for another O'Reilly title, his wish to see an animal cover eventually came true when O'Reilly published their Tomcat book with a snow leopard on the cover." | Is there companion Jerrymouse technology? No. A tomcat is a male cat.
