literary references only.

i was thinking charles mewkowski because i imagine my cat is moonshinin' all night long but it doesn't really have the ring of a cat's name.

best cat names, if you please.

>> No.4662912

A cat name should contain the sound of "ee", because that's one of the few things cats listen to when calling them.

Kierkegaard.
It begins like kittens, so there's no more appropriate name for it.

>> No.4662923

Is that your cat? If so, you either have mad photography skills or a lot of money to toss away for a professional. Also I'm jealous because those stripes are adorable and I want to hug that thing so fucking hard that you don't even know.

Anyway, literary references? You'll probably want a single name for the thing, I think anything more is kind of try-hard.

If I had a cat I'd name it Alaska but I don't know if you consider Lou Reed literature.
