One way to give you cat a name that is in a foreign language, is to look simply at what “cat” or “kitten” are in different languages and to see whether you prefer one of these words. Here are the two words in some different languages to give you some ideas:
Albanian — Kotele (kitten)
Amharic — Dimeti (cat) and Giligeli (kitten)
Bulgarian — Kotka (cat)
Esperanto — Katido (kitten), also the female name Katida
Finnish — Kissa (cat)
Hausa — Kitta (kitten)
Hawaiian — Anu (cat) and Kāpena (kitten)
Icelandic — Kettlingur (kitten)
Japanese — Neko (cat) and Koneko (kitten)
Malagasy — Saka (cat)
Maori — Ngeru (cat) and Putea (kitten)
Mongolian — Zulzaga (cat)
Mosi — a Navajo name, meaning “cat”
Serbian — Mayka (cat)
Swahili — Paka (cat)
Zulu — Ikati (cat)

Often, if you want to give your cat a name in a language other than English, it’s because you heard a name in that language that really sounded beautiful (or you just like the sound of the language as a whole). Here are some ideas from Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese.
