I think Pola would be perfect, personally. Sounds very cattish to me.
If ever I own cats, I'll be naming them things like Haitian Fight Song and Blues Falling Down Like Hail (Haitian and Bluesy for short, natch), so I don't know if I'd be any help to you. ;) But some shorter name ideas:
Mingus
Jelly Roll
Satchmo
Charlie Bird
Thelonious
Valaida
Lady Day
Ellington
Ella
Billie
Tatum
Leadbelly (especially appropriate for the heavier kitty, haha)
Peggy
Dizzy
Lovie
Bix (Bixie?)
Zoot
Adderley
Holiday
Basie
Hawkins
Lux (Luxie?)
Cootie
Just a couple ideas off the top of my head. Jazz musicians have names that translate well into cat names, IMO. :D And since she's a cat, I don't see a problem with calling her something like Thelonious...but I'm also the sort of person who decides her fishes' genders arbitrarily, lol.
Array (thinks a girlcat called Mingus would be cute)
