Thanks.

The name was Vienna.
One thing that always puzzled me was why Ultravox wanted to sing about
Rigsby's cat. 8-)

Vienna. So that when Rigsby was putting him out at night (cruel)
he could say "Goodnight, Vienna".

He was a corpulent, rather elderly-looking black and white cat,
as I recall. Didn't look very Viennese, though.

What does a Viennese cat look like?

It wears lederhosen and a green felt hat with a little feather in,
and likes dancing to Strauss walzes, obviously.
