A good name for Katy's kitten

One day last month, Katy wanted to get a new pet so she went to the pet shop in town to buy a kitten. When she looked at all the kittens in the shop, she couldn't decide which one to choose.
"Which one do you like?" asked the man who worked in the shop. "It's very difficult," said Katy. "They are all lovely."
Then she saw a little black and white kitten, which was sitting in a corner of his cage, looking like he was sad.
"He's beautiful," said Katy. "But why is he so sad?"
"He was hiding up in a tree when someone found him," said the' man. "We don't know where his mother is so we're trying to find him a new home."
Katy opened the cage and picked up the kitten, which had soft fur, big brown eyes, and a wet nose. He was very friendly and he looked happy to see Katy.
"I think he likes you!" said the man.
"I love him," said Katy. "I'll take him!"
"That's great," said the man. "What will you call him?"
"Well, he's black and white and he likes climbing trees. I think to call him Panda!" said Katy.
"That's an excellent name for him," said the man.
