What is the word for "Door Stop" in American Indian?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46831points) August 3rd, 2011

Or any other language?...... NO MODS! WAIT! LISTEN! This is a valid question!

We have a kitten that Fate dropped on us, and, as always, Fate picks out the best pets for people. We’ve been searching for a name for the kitty, and “Door Stop” keeps coming out of our mouths. The reason is, when the family (Rick and me and our two dogs) go out on the back deck to hang out Door Stop is right there…and she lays on the door sill with her back against the door. When it’s time go in, we open the door…and she doesn’t move. Rick steps over her, I step over her, the dogs step over her, and she doesn’t move. She’s not asleep, just chillin’. I started watching her one evening…she was awake, watching us, one paw curled, very relaxed…and the relaxed paw didn’t move a muscle as all of these giants stepped over her…..
If she’s in the house when we come in, usually she’s lying against the door inside, and you can feel the slight pressure as the door opens…and she just doesn’t move. The door just slides her along! It’s hilarious! But…“Door Stop” in English just doesn’t flow.

Can ya’ll help me out?

Now, I’m going to post this in “Serious” so there will be NO JOKING ABOUT! ; )
