[Magdalen] Named for saints.

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

We once had a dignified cat we named Alistair. (Mr. Cook was big in those
days.)

The cat needed to be outdoors, however, and since we lived in an apartment,
we gave him to the deacon at our church, who promptly renamed him Tiglath
Pilesar. "Tigger" for short.
