My cat's name is "Connie Groondy," which is _canu grwndi_ in Welsh,
"to sing crooningly," i.e., "to purr."  If I ever get a white cat,
of course I'll name it Pangur Ban after the cat in the Old Irish poem
of the same name.

The Teonaht word for cat is "tohda," pronounced /'toD@/ i.e., TOE-thuh.
But that's not a particularly inspiring name for a cat.
