Grey cat names

In cat-breeder language a grey coat is called blue, which is why the Russian Blue, Chartreux and Korat are all grey cats. Most owners prefer the weather: Storm, Misty, Nimbus, Thunder and Cloud.

Metals are the other natural fit. Silver, Sterling and Pewter in English, and Gin, which is Japanese for silver and is short enough to shout across a garden.
