going by your description of the cat, and the fact his/her raven buddy is called 'Snowy' I would suggest something along the lines of 'Fido' or 'Rover' This may also explain the cat's allegedly murderous tendencies. I like the other names you have created, especially the 'Badger's Ass' pub. I can almost visualise it, and it's clientelle. I would love to pop in there for a (very quick) drink someday...
But Trixie is an actual name - one of the nurses on Call the Midwife has it! I associate it now with big eyes and blond hair and kindness and alcoholism. Which can happen to anyone.
Liz - I've never heard anyone in the real world called, Trixie. I like the name but it has an edge to it I remember from child hood.
dora - my friends mother also had a pet by this name a Yorkshire terrier, a snappy little git with watery eyes, I'm sure if it had some eye drops put in them it could see a hand of friendship and not a weapon...some people just wont take advice.
I cant tell you what my pussy is called. I might be asked to leave
Names like that are not for your delicate ears Liz. I like the name Queenie, some old names are coming back into use, Millie, Ivy and Lily seems to be quite popular at the moment with the young mums.
I would just like to point out that, under new rules to be issued to 7 year-olds, the illegal exclamation mark in the title of this thread is to be removed at once and forthwith. Only questions - questions, mark you - beginning with How and What are to be permitted the use of the said punctuation. Any deviation from this rule will cost you your SATS, your 11+, and any other qualification you may have earned. The DoE hasn't quite gone so far as to say this rule is to be backdated to the Year Dot, but you know it's implied.
'Taxi' is the name I chose for the monstrous, fluffy, black cat that befriended me at the railway station late one night, recently. He was prowling around on the steps to the ticket office, where I went to sit. Soon as I settled he jumped on my lap, curled up, and started purring.
The surfing cat was a rescue moggie who had an eye removed and needed lots of bathing by his new owners, which got her used to water. Also she became so dependent on them that she followed them to the beach, and sits on one girl's surf board, then on her shoulders to ride the breakers. Try Googling it!

My daughter's music teacher has two cats - Chaos and Confusion.
We were into Agatha Christie at the time.
BOO
Trixie - I use this word for people who's nature is a little on the dodgy side of life.
C2 - My sister's cat was called Trixie although I saw it spelt as Tricksy. I'd agree with what you say, as Tricksy turned wild eventually.
My pussy was called Twinkle. Oooer Mrs Slocombe.

I knew a Trixie once. And there was a another name you never hear nowadays... Queenie!

I used to work with a lady called Lily. She was lovely.
The cat's role is now under review. What would have been a brief but significant appearance may well be written out altogether.
It was on a zero hours contract and is free to go crap in someone else's garden.

surfing with their owners, they seemed to be having great fun.
