Cougar? Lynx?

Ocelot is nice, though.

Bagheera. or Felix.

Maybe Civet, given that trendy hipsters will pay a premium to use what comes out of it? :-)

See, that's *exactly* where my brain went.

Cheshire.

Sabertooth (aka Mac OS 9.0)

Pallas (http://www.google.com/images?q=pallas+cat)!

We'll call it cougar when it starts getting old and looks like it's trying to adopt a younger sexier OS

Have you seen this meme (http://www.google.com/images?q=have+you+seen+this+cat+it+is+awesome)?

(I've spotted it with a Pallas's cat in Hyde Park.)

That's excellent!

[innerdoggie.livejournal.com]

I don't think Smilodon would be good, because he's extinct.
I voted for Lynx, but the name's been taken in computerdom. Serval, Caracal, Ocelot? We're on to the bigger small cats.

CIVETS ARE NOT FELINE

I was wondering when someone was going to notice that.
