I guess he got the name Cat from his girlfriend who said he had cat eyes or something like that. My friend worked for Decca in the 70's that had something to do with US distribution of one of his records. Anyway, I guess the guy was really really nice but really strange sort. But that is ok, strange is a good think I think. Boy he sure did some incredible music and then hung it all up ... a great loss I think for his messages would come across so much stronger with his talent and skill as a writer.
