catspaw | (no subject)

While procrastinating about -- something or other today, this thought popped into my head, as they tend to do when one's deliberately idling. What makes people pick their lj handles? Is there a story behind them, or a reason? Looking at my flist, I can figure out some of them, or at least make an educated guess but others of them puzzle me mightily.

So - would any of you care to share the reasons for your choices?

Cat's paw - a person used by another as a tool.

It seemed appropriate for a psuedonym - plus the pun appealed to me ;-)
