> [@SmartAleq](#): > > Look at that face–I suspect your kitteh has a Burmese in his woodpile and quite recently too. That’s a very Siamesey nose he’s sporting. I thought this, too on first seeing him. Combined with the talkativeness, I’d say it’s pretty likely. How about Edward (scissorhands) Tommelen (thumbs in Norwegian) – Tommy for short? ---

He kinda seems like a Monkey. Long limbs, long tail, jumps & climbs everywhere. But that’s not super dignified, especially for such a regal young prince. Thus, may I formally present a tentative name: MONKEYSHINE !!! Seems to suit the mischievous little guy. ---

I agree that most cats get to have a number of names, so at least one of this kitty’s names should be Bigfoot. ---

You can borrow my cat’s name. A friend suggested Smokey and I took off the “s” to make Moki. Cutest name ever, if I may say so myself 😀 ---

I thought the definition of Pooka was > [@](#): > > Pooka - from old Celtic mythology - a fairy spirit in animal form - always very large. The pooka appears here and there - now and then - to this one and that one - a benign but mischievous creature - very fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?"
