    Literary Feline – I did have that problem with some of them. My sstier’s rock-star name was “Aphrodite Odyssey” (our first cat + her minivan), and she thought that sounded more stripper-like than her stripper name, “Chanel Sees.” I’m not sure about the whole idea of an “elegant” stripper name, though :-).When you’re eating dinner on your own, cereal is a great choice, I think!
