Morrigan is an especially elegant looking fellow. Love the orange eyes and white whiskers! 💕

Ooh I love the yellow eyes. If she was named after the Dragon Age character, it’s a perfect fit. Even if not the reason, it’s a cool name for a cat.

She was named after the (equally spiky) Celtic goddess of war and fate: a being who favoured black and had the ability to shape-shift into diffent forms.

I've not heard of Dragon Age, but I kind of want to look into it now!

Given the backstory you just mentioned, I'm very sure the character morrigan in dragon age was based off the very same goddess

If you’re interested in RPGs they’re solid games. Morrigan is a cool character in the game (and definitely inspired by the goddess, shapeshifting and all). She has black hair and yellow eyes, so I thought the name might’ve been a homage to the character. The goddess is still pretty awesome and the name is still an excellent fit for the cat.

If she’s named after the old goddess of war, it’s a PERFECT name.

A small, fluffy ball of anti-social fury at the shelter, she effectively spurned all of the other potential adopters. Along with the spikiness, though, there is also a regal, enchanting side to her personality, and the name just seemed to suit her.

Miss Hela, black cat and goddess of Hel, says Hiiiiiiiiiiii!

Hela loves cats and hates people. She is the queen of my home.

Named after DA? A girl, then?

We named her after the Celtic goddess of war and fate, as it seemed to suit her personality. 😊 I'm unfamiliar with DA, but am guessing the name there is from the same source?

Taking it right to the source. Love that. Absolutely gorgeous kitty, btw.
