How about Cool Cat, Hep Cat, Siberian Tiger, Bengal Tiger, Clouded Leopard for starters. They're not nearly out of cat names.

That's what I was going to say, once they run out of different cat names they'll have to start naming it "Garfield", or "Puss-Puss", or "Puss-in-Overpriced-Cover-Slip".

And people think Apple names their OS based on this chart? Whoever made this chart doesn't know much about cats.
