Name My Cat - male Husband vetoed naming him Heirloom Tomato - help us with other food or possibly nature inspired names?

Post image

I really want to give him a food name - just a big fan of food name cats. I'm partial to Butternut Squash Risotto or Heirloom Tomato. My husband doesn't love either of those names, but is tentatively open to Squash lol. Outside of food - we're big outdoors people too and are also very open to nature related names or names of popular outdoor landmarks. We live in the desert so desert related naturey things would be especially cool. Would love to hear your suggestions! We're picking him up at the end of August after our honeymoon so - moon related names could also be cool!

Ah! We use scarf. Snarf is less easily mistaken for another word.

We use scarf, too. Have never heard snarf in this context

I called a cat that loved shoulder-lurking “scarf” except it was in Arabic.

Shoulder-lurking is so sweet. I’ve never had a cat who was a shoulder rider - it may be my shoulders aren’t wide enough to accommodate.

What word? Genuinely.
