No idea if it's a he or a she. Lives in the neighbourhood and comes in our office to chill during working hours.

Buddy ……. Buddy at work today was extra - he was literally jumping from desk to desk. Buddy at work refused to get off my chair today because he wanted my butt warmth. Buddy at work scratched me today for moving too fast. I turned around and Buddy was taking nibbles from my tuna sandwich.

Or a very human name, like Dave or Harper, like:
Dave got stuck behind the fridge again.
Harper couldn't keep off my desk, there's footprints all over my documents now.

Imagine the horrified looks before you clarify, it's a cat.

We rescued 2 feline brothers. The shelter had already named them Douglas and Fur as in the beautiful Oregon Douglas Fir trees🌲 We opted to keep the names since they were humorous.
