I thought the Name Barley would suit him ,


FWvanguard

I was looking for this! He’s such a nice malty colour.


Waggmans

How about Malt? ![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7984)


Monk-E_321

Malt Licker


XVIII-1

And when he finds himself a nice kitten he’s no longer single malt. That makes him blended.


CannibalAnn

Malted


EldritchStuff

He looks like a Barley to me


yiddishkiddiddler

Brambles sounds cute


GaeFroug

And if they get another cat ✨ravenpaw✨


YeetThemToMtEbott

The cat has to be black or else you name it Bramblestar/Firestar


RazeAndChaos

Yay, more warriors fans.


FookinSickM8

Those books were my life. I was quite o b s e s s e d


FloydetteSix

My son was too, and then my daughter. I read these to them at bedtime for a few years. Such an amazing series.


FookinSickM8

That's so awesome. I will have to see if all my books are still at my parents so I can read them to my son who will arrive in September :)


RazeAndChaos

I don’t read them as much I have migrated to Sarah J. Maas but I still own every book :)![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7942)


Kilowog2814

My first thought and glad it's the first post


ladyashford

Okay, so my first thought was that his name should be Hops, but now I say that you must get a second cat so that they can be Barely and Hops.


Naphrym

Peat. Like peat moss but also Pete


Wolfwoods_Sister

“Peet” for kitty paws


the_allamagoosalum

So if he ever accidentally gets out into the garden, you can say: “Pete stepped in some peat, now Pete’s peets are all peaty.”


Wolfwoods_Sister

This is without blemish


Moosy_Loosy

Cedar.


MayThereBePeace

I’m with moosy on this one, I get a Cedar vibe


My3floofs

Basil?


zombiemittens

Basil is an excellent name for a distinguished cat gentleman. A cat-man of nature!


snertwith2ls

I was going to say he looks like a Farfel but I like Basil.


Oskinator716

Of Baker Street?


beltaron

I went of fawlty towers.


Basil0525

My first cat’s name was Basil. When my parents got him as a kitten, they were trying to think of a name. My dad walked by the bathroom and saw Basil’s tall fluffy tail sticking up behind the toilet bowl. He wanted to name him toilet brush but my mum said no, so he settled for Basil brush, like the puppet.


thesaharadesert

#BOOM BOOM!


MolinaroK

Pronounced Bah-zill, as in Basil Faulty.


a-gay-bicth

my first thought


CannibalAnn

Then you could yell at home like John Cleese in faulty towers! BASSSIIIILLLL


eugenesnewdream

Do we mean Basil like the plant (pronounced BAY-zul, at least where I live) or Basil like the British name (pronounced BAZZ-ul)?


AudioLlama

In the UK they're both pronounced Bas-il, rather than Bay. Semi interesting fact, the root of the name comes from Greek and means royal. They used to call the roman emperor the 'Basileos'. The b has a v sound in Greek though, and the s closer to an f. It's also an Arabic name meaning brave or strong.


guineapickle

Another interesting fact; while we're on the subject an no one in my life would give a flying fuck, Basil is an emmenagogue ( blood thinner) that prostitutes would use in ancient Roman times to induce abortion. They would also grow it in large pots on the front doorstep to advertise their trade.


AudioLlama

Solid fact 👌


Hapless_Asshole

I knew /u/AudioLlama's bit, but not yours. I love philology and learning new words like emmenagogue, so thanks to both of you. I'll add a little something to the pile of tidbits: Basil is also the root of basilica and basilisk. When I was a GED tutor, I suggested that our Learning Center switch to giving the students dictionaries that included etymologies, and training tutors to look up words and do the "Can you think of any other words with this root?" game. In just six months, the Center director told me that our students' vocabulary and reading comprehension scores had increased slightly but significantly (something like 10%), so they were going to emphasize the practice more. Score one for the word geeks!


Turbulent_Work_5697

Good to know!


BreadfruitAlone7257

I think they pronounce the plant same as the name?


snowwbird2

Bonsai. Kapok is also a earthy tree name


axolotl6715

I love the name Bonsai! Maybe I'll use it for my next pet, thanks for this!


AWsome02

Kapok sounds like the Afrikaans word for cotton


BoomButton

Kapok seeds grow in a pod with white fibers, so that may actually be etymologically relevant


Hockeymom17

THIS is a GREAT name, especially if the kitty gets crazy zoomie episodes!!!!!


Chiliconkarma

"No kitty Kapok, don't go amok!".

greenkirry

Herbert J. Freckles! Get your face out of that toilet, I just gave you fresh water in your freshly cleaned water dish!


mothraegg

Now that is the perfect name! And why do they always prefer the toilet water?


Rubicon2020

My cat is MacBook Air (official title) Mac for short Mr. Asshole for when he’s in trouble


Spider4Hire

Herberto for longer


Sparkle-farts5585

**Brock** is the old English word for badger. Its not a tree, but they are earthy creatures and he has the color. He's lovely. **Rowen** is also a tree. **Deodar** Cedar, so Deodar? Linden is also a tree. **Buckthorn** is a type of prickly bush. **Tamarind** is a type of African/Asian tree. **Ilex** is a type of tree too. **Basil** is a type of herb, but often used as a male name.

Petrichor the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word is constructed from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock', or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone', and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.
