it's actually Will.. but we call him woobie all the time.
have you ever seen Mr. Mom? very early Michael Keaton? the kid calls his security blanket a woobie... well, that's my cat. he's really big (16.5 lbs), has lots and lots of fur, which is very soft... and an enormously loud purr... he's just a woobie
There used to be an ad for cat food here that went something like "the ancient Egyptians believed cats were gods on Earth. Some cats have never forgotten this."
