Naming NotesWe named our phage sample CowboyCat. We named our sample this after an enamel pin bought from a cat cafe in Houston, Texas that belongs to one of our lab members. We bonded over the pin and our mutual love for cats so it feels fitting to name our phage after it. The lab member, Avery, bought the pin because it reminded her of her cat, Tigger, who has Cerebellar hypoplasia, or Wobbly Cat Syndrome.
