Its appearance is inspired by Egyptian pageantry and Cerberus. We can therefore think of a reference to the role of protector that the cat embodied in the time of ancient Egypt and to the role of "Guardian of the Underworld" Cerberus in Greek mythology.
Its name could be formed with "cat", "ir al" (meaning to go to in Spanish) and "ka" (name of the soul or spirit in Ancient Egyptian). In addition "to go to one's ka" is an expression designating death.
