Waffles

Waffles is simply named for the beloved breakfast food -- a crisp, grid-patterned cake baked in a waffle iron. The word traces back to the Dutch "wafel," related to an older Germanic root for "weave," a nod to the dish's woven, honeycombed surface.

It's a name with built-in warmth: cozy, a little goofy, and impossible to say without smiling. It suits a pet with a sunny disposition and an appetite to match.
