husband's side of the family is scottish--cats there are "moggies", and here, that's been the cat name for some of them. we had one cat named "little nuisance", because he moved in on us, and wouldn't consent to being an inside cat, ever. when he met his demise, his replacement was a perfect doppleganger except for a little white mustache, so he became "little nuisance, too", who became "LiNT". LiNT was our loving kitty for 20 years. their predecessor was the "cat of evil", and officially named "kittywampus".
