My mom had her good grey wool and cashmere coat on when she found out I had adopted a kitty, and since the kitty was also grey, Cashmere seemed an appropriate name. Shortened to "Cassie" and there are at least two other pets with the name Cassie on PT. One black cat and one beautiful Dalmatian who helped her mom's students learn about the number 101! My other choice for her name was Pepper, which is also common.
