ที่รัก

Thai people don't usually address their lovers as sweetheart. But most westerners have come to use ที่รัก (Tee-ruk) as the equivalent of Sweetheart. A cat named ที่รัก. Interesting.

หวานใจ

Pronounced "Wan4 Jai", literally meaning "Sweetheart".

I believe the landlady in an apartment complex where I used to work called one of her cats \"Wan4 Jai\". Tee Ruk, meaning Darling, is more restricted for calling humans, I think, whether in English or Thai.

ya yee ÂÒËÂÕ

I've seen the word "slang" somewhere for this, plus it will be used as your cat's name. Ya Yee or ÂÒËÂÕ in Thai should be suitable as it sounds cute to me.
There is restriction, though. ONLY if your cat is female.
Well, I can't think of a word for a male cat. If anyone has suggestion, your comment is welcome. Thank you.
