Hi! I just got a cat with no tail! Looking for a creative foreign name for him. Anyone know a good word for stubby or stumpy or something similar? Thanks!

Call him Kissinger or Megot (pronounce 'mego') in French = 'stub' in English

Why don't you call him "ronde" (in French) or "redonda" (in Spanish). It means "semibreve", the only musical note wihtout tail.

... or stick to plain ol' English and call him 'Bob' - as in bobtail?

"Svanslös" need without tail in Swedish.

Mostly used in the stories about "Pelle Svanslös"

Perhaps "rocco"?
Because in French "without tail" becomes "sans queue". And it is the same pronunciation as "cent queues" (hundred tails).
...The word "queue", in french, can be used either for the tail of a cat or for a certain male anatomical part.

Because those which are adult will establish the link without problem.
