Should the URL of a page match its title? For example:

Http://example.com/about-cats.html

<title>About Cats</title>

Furthermore, if that title were to be changed by the page's author, should the URL change to match and the old URL be redirected (301) to the new URL?

Edit

Also, if the pages author were to decide to revert his changes after several days, would it be right to remove the redirect and set up an new redirect from the amended URL back to the old URL?
