White cat names

White cats are named after snow more than anything else, and almost every language has a good word for it: Yuki in Japanese, Neve in Italian, Nieve in Spanish. Moon goddesses come next, with Selene, Artemis and the Japanese Tsuki.

Then there's the food route, which suits white kittens oddly well. Mochi, Tofu, Meringue and Marshmallow all describe something soft, pale and slightly wobbly.
