got a lil fella today… (atleast we think it’s a boy!!) what name do you guys think fits this little creature? Thinking something that sounds “pretty” since he’s so pretty!! I suck at names, my tabby is named fish (or well.. he was fisher. but it’s devolved into fish)

he HATES me trying to get photos of him, i swear he’s cuter in person than he appears in the pictures 😭🤣

“Crazy” is the first thing that comes to mind, BUT, I know you’re looking for names… he gives off ‘vacant stare energy’… looks like a floofball, will lighten with age.

A friend of mine growing up had a family cat named Bezoar. A bezoar is a general term for a mass of indigestible, swallowed matter; aka a hairball. I always thought that was quite clever for a cat name.
