Help my mom name her cat

This precocious 8 month old female was adopted from the local shelter yesterday. Still no name. So far the names my mom has thrown around are dumb. Help me out, but keep in mind my mom isn't a geek, nor is she an intellectual, so keep em within the realm of normalcy.

Thanks.

What could he have been thinking of when he shot his best friend? What in God's name can he be thinking of now?

    It kind of looks like the cat from the office so 'Garbage'.. "Cause he eats Garbage" :)... or not... it's not a name for every pet.

    Unfortunately I don't get to name the dog we adopted, cause he already had a name that I guess the shelter gave him. But he sort of knows it, and is already co-dependent as hell so I don't want to add onto it by renaming him Bowser (which was what I was gonna call him).

    You could name the cat Bowser.

    Or you could let your mom name her cat whatever she want, even if it is lame.

    For the cat of a non-geek non intellectual, I would recommend Whiskers or Biscuit, or Kate.

    I don't know why Kate or Katie appeal to me as non-reference cat names. Now I want a tabby cat of my own to name Kate, to terrorize Rusalka and Kovacs.

    My mom is leaning towards "Missy" because she thinks it's an easy name for calling the cat. She acknowledges that it's not very creative.

    We are the people that had a golden retriever named "Roger" which everyone thought was the dumbest dog name they'd ever heard, so I guess we have a track record to keep to.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    If a mod would be kind enough to lock this, before we get any more "charming" suggestions, that would be swell.

    A friend of my wife's named her cat Gato (spanish for cat).

    So cat in other languages:

    Chatte (french)
    Katze (german)
    Poes (danish)
    Kissa (finnish)
    Gata (greek)
    Gatta (italian)
    Qattusa (maltese)
    Kotka (polish)

    Here's a whole list:
    http://www.flippyscatpage.com/catin60languages.html

    I just think it's funny to name a cat "Cat" :) .

    It's probably too obvious since it's a tabby. But, you have the best of both worlds. She'll have a formal sounding name and your mom can call her Missy.
