Does Felix make you think of a cat?

It's the top contender for my six-week old son (I have to get a move-on). I know it's associated with cats, but really that strongly? My aunt said flat-out it would be cruel to call him Felix. I said he looked like a Felix and my Mum said, but does he have a tail?
Am fed up because I really can't think of many names...

I do think of it to do with cats, but I quite like the happy/lucky meaning.

A friend of mine had a brother called Felix Arthur, I can't believe nobody pointed it out...

I always think of Rex Harrison when I hear the name Rex. But then I am old. And also there was a phrase in our German school book that said "ich mag Rex Harrison" - why they picked him of all the famous actors out there, I have no clue! Old text book, probably.

OP - have you decided for or against Felix? I hope for :)

No, it's a lovely name. my firstborn would have been Felix, had she been a boy (she loves the name and likes to tell everyone this fact).
Anyway I like cats :)
