Macavity (character) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Macavity
Macavity is a fictional character who is described in a poem in ''Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'', by T. S. Eliot. He also appears in ''Cats'', the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. ==Etymology of the name==
The name ''Macavity'' is a triple pun by T. S. Eliot, the author of the poem, on ''Macheath'' — a supervillain who appears both in John Gay's ''The Beggar's Opera'', its sequel ''Polly'' and roughly 200 years later as Mack the Knife in ''The Threepenny Opera'' written by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill in 1928, ''macuahuitl'' — the Aztec obsidian sword, and ''Moriarty'' — the surname of a supervillain-scientist from the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.
