	I also call him Autistikitty (1). The vet calls him a cat nerd
(Although he's a solid little lump of muscle, which is just great when 
he decides to see what he can move around (2)).  I think he just was
abandoned as a kitten and is the cat version of a wolfchild. 

	He only has one kind of meow, which is odd for a cat. 

1: If I hadn't named Eddie because he looked a bit like my cat Hillary 
and waited to see if some characteristic of his suggested a name, I'd
called him Chicago, the windy kitty. 


2: Which recalls the great Chair War between Groucho and Cleo. One of
them wanted the chair to be by the window so they could look out. The
other one wanted it away from the window so they didn't have to see
the horrible outdoors. They spent a lot of time moving that chair 
back and forth.
