Dopp?

I don't know the name of the cat, but the man looks a BIT like Ray Bradbury...

And someone's email has made it clear in no uncertain terms that I may not play!

Rejected again. This is not going to be good for my self-esteem.

Only because I've told you the answer.

Okay, I'll have a go...
Let's see, pick a letter, A to Z...

Zoe?

If not, can I guess again?

Try again, but thank you for playing.

It MIGHT be Arthur, just not THIS Arthur.

Chunks in jelly is a good word.

But not the name of the cat. I assume.

All good guesses but not on the mark.

I'm going to say its Blackie who "becomes Ditzi when we see her behavior" mentioned in WITH CAT FOR COMFORTER by Ray Bradbury.

The best guess so far but not the correct answer.
