Time has come to get a house cat.
I believe Kote is wrist/hand in Japanese... I learned that while I was practicing kendo....
I hope my wife comes up with something quick otherwise...
I am going to call our's Nabi.
how about a name... NEKO! (cat in japanese)
dominicans believe cat names should be shortour current team is TUMI (grey fatso) and PICHI (blackish loca):
The black and tan looks just like my wife's. She claims she drove a good way to get it because that type of cat is known to keep rats away.(or kill them,don't know). Never know it's around until i'm eating.
Fun fact: all cats with more than 2 colors are female. And females tend to be better hunters. So your wife is most likely right!
Nabi is great. "Tabi" seemed to some type of reference to cats in the US.
The teeth on my wife's cat seem very sharp and long, maybe its jaws open wider?; and therefore she gets a quick treat from me.
When I was stationed in Japan, all the GIs called me Nick. My Japanese friends said it meant cat, hence " Nekosan"!!!! Thanks for reminding me!!!

japanese often add O at the end of foreign words. i heard interneto in anime hundreds of times. so nick would turn into nicko and that is just a step away from neko
and tabby in english is a grayish cat, like my fat one.
and we gringos and other Latinos talk about Dominicans for trying to reinvent a language with"mock" words.
It's the world over!! We all evolve. Ever wonder what Jefferson would think of an Obama speech??

I have two cats,like you.I have one that's tricolor,white,brown and orangey-yellow and I named
her autumn.She weighed 18 lbs,she's a butterball.
By recommendation of the vet I have heron a diet and so far she's lost 2 lbs.
I believe Japanese aren't trying to reinvent the new word. Their language system just can't say certain pronunciations. If you have time search youtube for some of the Japanese commercials involving american products or names. MacDonald's becomes Makudonarodo, Keanu (Reeves) becomes Kanoo, and cutlets becomes katsu and so on. Just like dv8 heard that little "O" at the end isn't trying to be cute or mock the original words. It could be awkward to just stop or they simply don't have that sound in their vocabulary.
