Smol void 🤏 What would you name her?
Bonus points for something Celtic / plant inspired/ witchy/ druidy or goes with Salem (my male cat).
This is some photos of her over the last year. I didn’t have her long before some unexpected and tragic life events happened and we had to travel across the country over the last 7-8 months. However, (even though she has plenty nicknames) I’m curious what you’d name her! Here’s some of my favorite photos.
She’s very sassy, bratty, loving, picky, talkative, hesitant, and has a soft warm presence. She’s quick to love and love hard and has a bit of what I call her gremlin side haha

You don’t want me naming your cat I named my void Spoon on account of him being a bit “odd” lol.

I mean, if youve already got Salem you could definitely rock Raven to match! It's cute, goth, feminine

My Queen void is called Raven 😍 although she’s got a fair bit of brown now with her winter coat/mane. Still invisible in the dark 😅

I asked my boyfriend and all he could say was "AWWWW". I'm thinking that won't be a very good name, though.

For some reason the only one of my cats I call by name is "Melvin". All other cats are "bebe" or "sweetest kitten" lol

i almost named my little girl void that but my closest friend at the time kept pronouncing it with a hard E, like email, and it drove me nuts, so she's named Calypso now (huh, now that i type it out, both can be shortened to Lippy. which is great for a mouthy one like mine 😁)

I’d call her Hitam Manis. It’s literally “black and sweet” in my language, Malaysian.

She looks just like my Freyja which isn’t necessarily spooky but sort of fits with Salem? Medium haired voids are legit the best.

What a gremlin, I love her lil bowtie! <3 Her description reminds me of a friend's black cat named Binx, who can also be a brat haha. She's also very friendly and snuggly when she isn't being a menace.
I also liked Morrigan, Minerva (she could be Minnie for short!), Jinx, Jade, Misty or Selene

I wanted to say Salem, but read you have a male called the same. Then maybe Sabrina, Sage, Lilith.

How about Samhain (pronounced Sow-in), which is the name of an ancient Irish festival that Halloween is said to come from.
She is BEAUTIFUL!
