Where did Maus get his name?

When Maus moved to my place his name was Armas ( = Darling ) - and that he truly is, a little sweetheart. We started thinking names for him, first ones that would go well with Guinness: Tequila, Jameson, Baileys, Magners etc, but nothing seemed to fit for this little fella. Then one day I got it, he is tiny, he is gray, he has a looooong tail and looks just like a mouse!


The funny spelling of his name came from our first visit to the vets' - they spelled his name as MAUS and I thought it was kinda funny 'cause cats in Finland do say "mau" instead of "meaouw" ;) So basically his name is a hybrid between a meaouw and a mouse...

And by the way he can also say his name - pretty loud!
