Looked in all my old and esoteric references - no joy!
All I have to contribute to this erudite discussion is that, in Hawaiian, cat is "popoki." Legend says the first cat that came to the islands with the missionaries, staggered about as it tried to get its "land legs" and the owner said "Poor pussy" - thus Popoki.
