The meaning of "Filou"

Merci pour cette histoire ! je l'adore. I enjoyed getting to know your cats, Jasper and Filou. As far as I am concerned, a house is not a home without at least one cat. (Our kitty is named "Louis" and we use the French pronunciation, "Louie".)

I really love the name, "Filou" and am just curious as to the meaning.

Merci beacoup !

Son amieIn some other lesson I read that we use ´son' for amie. This is probably to ease pronunciation. My question is what is the rule if there is an adjective between son and amie that doesn't begin with a vowel. Is son petit ´amie' or ' sa petite ami' correct?

The use of -t- in the middle of a phrase

I don't understand the use of -t- in forming a phrase. For example, why is "she accepted" written "accepte-t-elle" instead of "elle a accepté"?

Jusque and Jusqu'à

Is there any logic why jusque is sometimes followed by à and sometimes not? Like here it's jusque-là but otherwise you've got something like jusqu'à maintenant...?
