You could call him Grant after Cary Grant, who always looked divine in a tux.
The problem with names at our shelter is that our administrator changes them if we've had one with that name before. So, even if it suits the cat, she changes it. Sigh.... I just dropped off a guy who was abandoned in his previous owners' apartment a month ago, and I named him Scooter. He was a handsome tabby boy with HUGE green eyes. He just scooted around in the office while I was trying to figure out how to bathe him in the library office at school cause he had been in a Have a Heart trap and then a carrier for so long, and had no bathroom, so he smelled to high heaven! I wasn't the one who did the trapping, the person who owned the apartment did it, and she could have cared less about the cat. She even said if she had to make a donation to have us take it, she'd just let it out of the trap to fend for itself. Gotta love people like that. And I have to work with her, so I had to bite my tongue as well and not give her some really harsh words like I wanted to.

So anyway, she renamed Scooter to Skeeter. NOT what I wanted, and it doesn't suit him either. I'll have to change it again, sigh....

I've been thinking on "marty's" name, and I like Catmandu's suggestion for Calloway, so I put him on PetFinder as "Cab Calloway". He always wore a suit, albeit a "zoot suit", but still it was formal, lol.
