Lovecraft crazy cat name contest

So as was mentioned at the last book club, we have thought up a little contest for our reading of H. P. Lovecraft. As you know we are reading at least three short stories by Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" and any two others. Now the contest, Lovecraft was a well-known eccentric, at the age of ten had dressed himself in a sheet and turban and claimed to have converted to Islam, this is 19th century New England. He had a massive fear of old people that bordered on a phobia. So the contest is to find the 'interesting' name for one of the cat's mentioned in one of his short story. The person who wins gets a candy bar of their choice. So, good reading.
