A Shadow with Eyes Full of Stars – Help Us Name Her

She appeared without warning, like a secret whispered into the wind.

One quiet evening, we found her perched on the window frame — a tiny black figure with wide, glowing eyes, watching us from the fading light. She didn’t meow. She didn’t run. She simply stood there, curious and calm, like she’d been waiting for someone to open the window of her life.

We brought her inside that night.

She was skinny, a little unsure of her steps, and had the kind of presence that made you pause. There was something mysterious about her, something that felt like old magic wrapped in a soft, purring body. Her black fur shines in the light like velvet. Her eyes? Like golden lanterns in the dark.

She doesn’t just walk — she drifts, silently, gracefully, like smoke. She slips into rooms unnoticed and suddenly appears beside you, curling up without a sound. We joke that she’s not a kitten, but a shadow with a heartbeat. 🐾

She loves high places, warm windowsills, and curling her tail around our ankles like she’s claiming us. She’s playful but quiet, brave but gentle. And while she’s still learning to trust completely, she already feels like home.

But there’s one thing missing…

✨ A name. ✨

We’ve tried a few, but nothing has truly stuck. It feels like she’s still holding on to her mystery, waiting for the right name — the one that will finally make her lift her head in recognition and say, “Yes. That’s me.”

So we’re turning to all of you — the pet lovers, the storytellers, the cat whisperers:
👉 What should we name this magical little being?

Something inspired by the night? By elegance? By strength?
Should it be a nod to black cats’ long history in myth and magic? Or something soft and sweet to match her hidden warmth?

Drop your ideas below. Let’s give this girl the name she deserves — one that honors her past and celebrates the beautiful life that lies ahead. 🖤
