Oh, not braking character, are we:P
Well, I've overheard people calling him Smudge. I don't know if that's another name or another cat.
It was also mentioned that he hangs out by the fireplace, yet I always meet him at the bar.
During my last visit I thought I heard him chime in, but there was so much noise...
When I was still using Y!M, my mom brought home a stray one day.
She called him The Crimson Corsair. Because of his fur.
Due to his tattoos, we then learned that he must have travelled over 400km from his previous can opener, where he went by the name of Fridolin.
As he kept roaming a lot, I am pretty sure he had many more... Never bothered to ask him, though, and now we're out of touch, too.
So if you try to strike up a conversation he'll usually ignore you or hiss at you.
Funny you would say that. I just witnessed something like that by the rail yard...you'll see, maybe.
That's my favourite incarnation of Little John!
Good taste, good sir! You just might become mine.

Oooh, no, I think that's another cat. The one that hangs out with me usually waits by the door, he rarely comes in, maybe sometimes in the winter? Says he doesn't like crowds. Maybe you've seen him? He goes by Constantine with me, after Constantine the Great. I'm pretty sure what he truly admires about the emperor's character is how he murdered like half his family and got away with it, but he's not very forthcoming about how he came up with the name.
I met him a few years ago in Ravenna and we've been best friends ever since. Well, okay, we fought once, when I told him about the king o' cats, that Charles fellow I wrote about a while ago. Some sort of a family feud between them, I don't really know the details. He gets grumpy when I talk about it. He apologized after a while but I know better than to bring it up again.

Hah, how appropriate! St. Fridolin, though renowned for his missionary work in what would be Southern Germany and Switzerland nowadays, was supposedly born in Ireland, and travelled all the way through Britain and France -- a very long way to travel in those times.
Good taste, good sir! You just might become mine.
Anyone knows a Gemini-appropriate alternative to the blushing emoji :-D?
