also - Falstaff is a fantastic name for a cat! i love it. i actually named Tybalt after the character in Seanan McGuire's October Daye novels, but I did so with an awareness both of Shakespeare's use of it, and of the Welsh origin of the name. i nearly always reference Romeo & Juliet when someone says "Tybalt?" like they can't fathom it. quoting five or six lines of act one scene one will make nearly anybody decide they don't want to know any more, turns out. ;)
