I think she was being smarter than that: It's a well known fact among cat
owners that cats respond well to high-pitched sounds.  Therefore, the most
successful cat names tend to be ones with 'S' in them.  Cats pick up very
well on the sibilance.

Of course, a summicron wouldn't do with a black cat, so therefore she must
have balanced all these competing requirements and chosen 'Summilux'... ;-)
