Yes, Spike was my first thought, too.  Of course I'm biased as I have a

It does sound appropriate to his unique appearance and personality.

Would love to see pictures if you can post them to the web!
Congratulations!

 On my Catpage there are lists of everyone who posts to the various Cat
Newsgroups [except people who have not given me their details, of

of cats there.  See
