Spanish cat names

Spanish names are bright and easy to call, and many describe a cat perfectly: Chispa means spark, Canela means cinnamon, and Dulce means sweet. Gato, simply cat, is a deadpan favourite.

Colours and nature fill out the list: Nieve (snow), Paloma (dove), Azul (blue) and Estrella (star).
