Might be some good ideas there.

I like :
ASHTART (Female): Phoenician goddess of the planet Venus. Ashtart was known by various names to different cultures, for instance Astarte to the Babylonians and Assyrians, Ishtar to the Mesopotamians, Arabians, the Canaanites and others. To those that recognized her under these various titles, she was above all, the "Queen of Heaven." One legend tells of her coming to earth upon a blazing star-like rock that fell from the sky, landing near the city of Byblos. A stone (which today we would obviously identify as a meteorite), was kept in a temple dedicated to her glory in Byblos and was said to be the very rock upon which she descended. Since she is associated with both Venus, "the morning/evening star," and falling stars, this name might well suit the sort of contemplative cat that curls up upon the window ledge to watch the gradual darkening of the night sky in all its mysterious beauty. If you're lucky, you might catch a fiery glimpse of this celestial goddess in the wide-eyed curiosity of your cat's attentive gaze.
