As soon as I saw her, I thought "Sugar Plum Fairy!" She rules the Land of Sweets and gives a celebratory dance for Clara and the Nutcracker. You could call her Sugar or Plum or Sweety... posted by fraula at 5:44 AM on October 27, 2012 [2 favorites]
I've always had a plan to have a white cat someday and name her Ozma, after Ozma of Oz who if I remember correctly from reading the books when I was a child, wears a white dress. posted by Rinoia at 5:57 AM on October 27, 2012 [2 favorites]
I vote for a reference to snow.

She reminds me of a snowy owl.
The Norwegian word for snowy owl, according to wikipedia, is kind of awesome: Snøugle. Not sure on the pronunciation of that, but if it is something like 'snew-gul', I think that is a great excuse to name your cat Snøugle the fabric softening cat. posted by sciencegeek at 6:32 AM on October 27, 2012 [4 favorites]
I see a couple votes for spook, but the second I looked at the pic, I thought spooky, in a christopher walken voice. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/meet-the-family/1119105 posted by amycup at 9:36 AM on October 27, 2012
My other half immediately and independently came to the same conclusion as sciencegeek; in addition to a snowy owl, she also looks a bit like a single tire track over fresh powder snow. Since numerous variations on "snow" and "snowy" have been suggested, I'll add the Japanese version: "Yuiki." posted by infinitywaltz at 9:47 AM on October 27, 2012

Just checking in to say that that is One Beautiful Cat!! She is gorgeous. Of the above suggestions, Sugar Plum Fairy was the first that made me think "Oh, yeah!" (it seems longish now, but eventually "Sugar Plum, get down off that counter!" will roll right off your tongue) with Smilla in second place. posted by Oriole Adams at 10:07 AM on October 27, 2012 [1 favorite]

She is beautiful! I like Whisper or Wisp for short, or Yuiki as suggested above. posted by valoius at 11:07 AM on October 27, 2012
Tag, after the Burmilla protagonist of The Wild Road. (Yes, he's a tomcat, but Tag strikes me as a gender-neutral name.) posted by bettafish at 11:08 AM on October 27, 2012
