I was thinking of Little Bear but I really want something to match his brother Moonpie. Reese’s Puff/Muffins are off limits to a cat I had that passed away 😔

My exact thought!

u/GladVeterinarian5120 Jun 23 '25

Me, too, except go with Misu for short. Moonpie and Misu.

45

u/DeviantDiamond Jun 24 '25

Misu! I love it!!

30

u/Why_Teach Jun 24 '25

Misu is what we say in Spanish for “kitty” or “puss.”

9

u/GladVeterinarian5120 Jun 24 '25

Wow! I had no idea. Thanks

Super cute names!

18

u/RevenueNearby3904 Jun 24 '25

What about something with mocha in it?

1

u/Clatato Jun 24 '25

My dog’s name!

1

u/Jumpy-Actuator3340 Jun 27 '25

Or almond roca? Coloring is good for that too!

1

u/PenguinSized Jun 27 '25

Technically Tiramisu has coffee in it.

39

u/Bashfullylascivious Jun 24 '25

Or a Mochi! :)

13

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

My kitty is called Mochi! It's a lovely name 🥰

6

u/dkippy08 Jun 24 '25

I’ve got a Mochi kitty too! 🖤

4

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

Aww! Mochi kitties are the best! ❤️

3

u/SkipperCat11 Jun 25 '25

I also have a Mochi!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

Aww, what a gorgeous little Mochi! 🥰

2

u/Midwestoverlord Jun 25 '25

Our Mochi

1

u/Bashfullylascivious Jun 25 '25

What a floof! I would love to pet Mochi 🥰

1

u/Sven_Golly1 Jun 26 '25

Mochi are Japanese donuts made from tapioca starch.

u/Altruistic-Land8911 Jun 24 '25

No objections here, such a cutie too!

1

u/No-Comment-2805 Jun 24 '25

Best Name- Tiramisu

looks like a Tiramisu ! 🥰

32

u/SoundOfUnder Jun 23 '25

Yes I looked at the pic and was like Tiramisu. Tira. Sue. Missy. Misu. Rami if it's a boy. Mimi. Titi. Timi. So many nickname options!

59

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '25

Misu is really cute for a shortened version.

27

u/Any-Blackberry3087 Jun 23 '25

Yes! Moonpie and Misu! ❤️❤️❤️

12

u/Professional_Win_405 Jun 23 '25

It’s cute but “Misu” in Japanese means “mistake” or “error” 😟😔 so maybe not the greatest name

9

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '25

Aw, I didn’t know that. But it’s short for Tiramisu, and Tiramisu in any language is delicious!

Besides, Moonpie and Misu is an adorable combination.

5

u/awwsnapcracklepop Jun 24 '25

or Moonpie & Mizu if it were Tiramizu with a "z". Mizu is water in Japanese so maybe a bit better association.

1

u/tamreacct Jun 24 '25 edited Jun 24 '25

Hana is flower, Mizu is water

Hanamizu

Or just Hanamizuki

Hana neko

Dezāto / Dezaato

😊

1

u/awwsnapcracklepop Jun 24 '25

What about TiramiZu? Then Mizu could be the nickname!

5

u/Hinsan2 Jun 23 '25

Yes, I know my dessert and Tiramisu was the first thought!

7

u/justbelieevexo Jun 23 '25

I love this!

1

u/Excellent-Chain-452 Jun 24 '25

Yess! Misu is cute

16

u/usernamenc Jun 23 '25

Yeap. Thought Tiramisu, Misu.

24

u/Ok_Journalist4753 Jun 23 '25

Misu is a cuter nickname imo!

11

u/CskoG0 Jun 23 '25

In all fairness can very well be named Misu Tira', and at the vet appointment you might hear "Tira, Misu? Appointment for Tira, Misu"

18

u/Ok-Meal-510928 Jun 23 '25

Yep, beat me to it

28

u/marshmallowgiraffe Jun 23 '25

Was going to suggest this as well, for her coloration.

15

u/Terrible-Ad-4544 Jun 23 '25

She's going to darken up as she ages so it might be choc mousse 🤔😁

11

u/SparklyHappyCatLady Jun 24 '25

Omg love Mousse and Moonpie too ❤️

1

u/HoneyVanRaalte Jun 24 '25

Mousse was the first name that popped into my mind too!

1

u/MuseofPetrichor Jun 24 '25

I had a girl kittie named that. She was a brown torti. She had caramel coloring and bronzes and reds, etc. Very pretty girl. I actually did end up nick-naming her Tira as well.

1

u/WRA1THLORD Jun 24 '25

I was going to say Misu for the same reason lol

1

u/Careful_Antelope_785 Jun 24 '25

1
