No, Patches was the original plaid cat. Then she moved back to SF with Rusty. Then she moved across the street to live with the neighbors. Then Birdkiller moved into our basement, and she brought Autumn with her. Since Autumn is also a calico, and it's easier referring to her as the plaid cat than it is to be calling her "Patches" half the time, she became the new plaid cat. Not that she knows her name at all, or indeed gives any indication that she knows she's being spoken to. She does, however, know immediately when another cat is being spoken to, and whines accordingly.
