   I did a google search and did see some Japanese sites that spelled the   
   actors' name the same way as the cat's name in this episode, but it   
   was hard to tell whether that was a mistake or a possible varation --   
   retto batoraa gets many more hits than reddo batoraa (and the latter   
   hits include references to this Sailor Moon episode).
