Kitty is a she... she's Thai (Korat cat, purebred, grand champion pedigree). Roan is a nice name but I'm a bit concerned that it might be too close in sound to "No", especially with the Maryland accents 'round these parts. Best thing I've come up with so far is "Suree" which means "good thing" in Thai - I'm not so sure I'm satisfied with that though.
Is there a Thai word to describe her color and that is not too hard to pronounce?
"...I'm not so sure I'm satisfied with that though."
She'll tell you what her name is. Give her time.
Thought she was a Russian Blue.
Thai is a heckuva language. What about something simple, like "Mai"?

Here's a Thai names listing. Some are pretty, although I wouldn't choose anything ending in -porn for a nice cat!
