Postman Pat has a black-and-white cat ...
Feb. 1st, 2019 01:09 pm... and now, so does Beyond the Pale brewery, a craft beer brewery in Ottawa. You can probably find out about it from numerous sources, but here's what the CBC had to say:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/social-media-cat-name-suggestions-1.5000257
Beyond the Pale used to be our go-to place for craft beer when it was located near Parkdale Market but we rarely go there now, since it went upscale and moved to Bayview Yards; instead we now mainly go to Broadhead on Auriga Drive or occasionally to Nita Beer on Colonnade. Anyway, the as-yet unnamed female cat is a feral creature deemed unsuitable as a household pet but ideal as a working mouser to prevent all those sacks of grain on the premises from being eaten (or otherwise invaded and made unfit for human consumption) by vermin.
Some names that have been suggested so far include "Growler" and variations on hops and barley. I don't know if anyone has yet suggested "Malteser", but that could be another possibility as long as the trademark-holder for the candy doesn't sue anyone over it! And here are a few other suggestions I've come up with:
Darkness, or "Her Darkness" (then if they added a second cat that was all-black, that cat could be "Darkerness")
Stout (especially if she proves highly competent in her work and grows to a good size)
Yeastikins
Beercat (actually I think that's already been suggested); could the brewery then branch out to make beer cat coffee too? I do seem to recall a few years back that someone had created a very expensive coffee that used meercat droppings as one ingredient)
Moggie Muggin's; Mousie Muggin's (depending on whether you want to stress the agent or the victim of the mugging)
Mouseketeer
Baymew Ward
Kitty Scenter
Alexa Guinness
Aley
Phyllisner
Buccabeer
Brewhaha
Brewhilda
I'm still trying to think up names that would be a little more bilingual or multilingual in nature. About all I can dream up right now would be ... maybe Julia Cerveza for the Spanish community?
Anyway, I'll be watching the naming debate with interest!
